Safari: New for 2017

[Takama]

I am not sure if this means something but Safari LTD has a page called Safaripedia, and most of the models listed are ones that are either part of there Wild Safari line, or the Carnegie Collection.

http://wiki.safariltd.com/index.php/Dinosaurs

However, Some Carnegie Collection Dinosaurs that were avlible at the time of its retirements are not listed.   I wonder if all of these dinosaurs will get made into Wild safari figurines if they have not been made already.

Did the catalogue provide the scales or sizes of the figures?

Due to their small sizes, I could not tell you exactly how big they are, but here are the  dimensions I can read from those small pictures
...

Great, thanks!

It's good to see Safari reacting to the discontinued Carnegie line. It shows how much they still care for their Dinosaurs.

It's only logical to involve some classic species in the Wild Safari line that had been missing. I do not understand the "disappointed" comments.
Negativism has become pretty common here at the DTF. Meanwhile It already starts before we see any of the new releases' pics.

I can't wait to see some of the updates - such as Psittacosaurus, Microraptor or Parasaurolophus .

Well, not everybody's going to like every set of toys, and moreover, some of us are more nitpicky than others. Just like not everybody likes the same kinds of food, cars, music, and so on, not everyone will like the same dinosaur toys. Speaking for myself, I have certain aesthetics that I like, and I'll be disappointed if something I was excited about doesn't look good to me. That doesn't mean I think it's objectively bad, it just means I have a personal preference.

Anyway, I might not like every single aspect of these figures, but that's not stopping me from being excited about the Velociraptor, Microraptor, and Deinocheirus.

I don't think Safaripedia has been updated in a while.
Neither do I think it is evidence for something new.

Well, some people are however already disappointed because the Hadrosaur is Parasaurolophus without having seen the figure.

Im happy its a remake of the one from the Old days while acting as a remake of the Carnegie Collection model. I am happy to see more ornithopods from them.   Unlike some other companeys Safari does not remake there models without good reason.

There's always someone out there to break Safari's trust. Not sure why people do that.

A craving for attention, I suppose, no matter how fleeting.

The only one that disappoints me is the Parasaurolophus, and as I noted before, I'm sure it'll look fantastic and I'll almost certainly buy it. My disappointment is rooted solely in the fact that Parasaurolophus receives so much more attention from toy companies when there are many other crested hadrosaurs that rightly deserve a chance in the limelight. It'd be great to see someone tackle the new restoration of Tsintaosaurus, for example.

Lol, so the new T rex IS bigger than usual! *bratty kid voice* I told you so

I think of it this way.Even though everybody and his uncle has made Parasaurolophus over the years,all of them are now out of date so a new one is still needed.This new one selling well could lead to many possibilities,maybe even to Tsintaosaurus in the future.

All of them  ? Including Battat's?

While I do agree, how disappointed must you be with every new Tyrannosaurus figure released? (For me, no Tyrannosaurus figure can be that good that I would still be excited about its release.)

Tyrannosaurus rex is in a class unto itself, obviously. It's the Batman and the Spider-Man of the prehistoric world. There will never, ever be enough.

This is true. Although I still really like the Battat and the Deluxe from CollectA.

Yes,even Battat's.As nice as it is,that one was still from 1997,before more complete hadrosaur mummies came to light ("Leonardo" the Brachylophosaurus and "Dakota" the Edmontosaurus) which showed that hadrosaurs in general were more muscular in life that what was illustrated in the 90's.

[suspsy]

I will be head-over-heels with delight if the new Parasaurolophus looks like this:

[postsaurischian]

  There is no accounting for taste.

Can you say with certainty that hadrosaurs weren't plump and juicy like bovids? Can anyone?

Wait until you actually see good pictures of the Safari figure, though. It is truly something unique and worthwhile.

Are you talking about the Parasaurolophus or T-rex? , I got confused . I'm very excited for the Tyrannosaurus because I've waited for one that I really like and makes me 100% sure I want it and so far the ones available for me don't do that. This new Safari one might be it.

[DinoLord]

It seems like the Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus are in approximately 1:40 scale which is very exciting. This is looking to be a great year for Safari; now that the Carnegie line is no more it appears they're able to put out more figures of their own.

That made me think Baaaaaah! instead of Mooooo!

At this point I would expect nothing less unfortunately. You know retirement is really looking good about now, if only I had the money.
