Safari: New for 2017

[suspsy]

I hate it when figures are shooped onto real photographs. A nice white stock photo is much better and does the job fine.

Yeah, I agree.

Also, I'm pretty sure the Giganotosaurus' base won't be removable. Unless Safari plans on selling it boxed.

A photo of the T. rex is up. Same as the one where it was chasing people:

Definitely not the best angle for the figure, but I´m sure the official stock photos will show how glorious this figure will be.

[Jose S.M.]

It looks a bit "chubby" but I agree we need to see more photos, but I can say the head looks absolutely beautiful.

[Dilopho]

But.... I don't see how the two angles we've seen it at come together into one figure...? 
EDIT: It can't have been a flipped image because the head scars are on the same side....

From my humble point of view because unfortunately I am a collector and an amateur to the world of prehistory and I have no knowledge of the other forum members even remotely, I see dinosaurs Safari this year they have made fable both palaeontologically and from the perspective paleoartística.

Maybe this year for space and money just dedicated myself to this factory with Collecta.

On the other hand I like the feathered dinosaurs like Coelophysis and tyrannosaurus rex their older versions.

This year certainly Safari is one of the best factories in terms of the realization of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. Safari has been exceeded and most importantly can be proud of their creations.

Then it obviously has scars on both sides.

If you look closely, the scars in the upper image don't match those in the lower one. It must have scars on both sides. See also the perfect mirroring of the leg positions. Therefore, I believe the images are indeed flipped.

it's a gravid queen rex preparing a nesting site.

I love how massive this T. rex is. Most T. rex figures tend very much toward the slimmer end of the species spectrum. It's nice to see a properly fatty, massively-muscled T. rex like Sue - looking at her skeleton, her legs look stubby for how massive she is. It's good to see a figure like this. It's expensive but... I think I'm gonna have to crack and buy this great figure.

Regarding related species,

The Mosasaur's color pattern resembles that of the Tylosaurus
The Kronosaurus' color pattern resembles that of the Lipleurodon
The Giganotosaurus' color pattern resembles that of the Zedonk

The new Safari mosasaur is a Tylosaurus.  In case you didn't know, "Mosasaur" shouldn't be in italics as it's not a scientific species name.

[Daspletodave]

Yeah that T-Rex needs to go on a diet!

Which would apply with equal force to "zedonk."

Okay, the post has been fixed to reflect accuracy of nomenclature.

A DIET?!? 

Quotes from xkcd:
Tyrannosaurus rex weighed about as much as an elephant.
No one is totally sure what dinosaur metabolism looked like, but the best guesses for how much food T-rex ate seem to cluster around 40,000 calories per day.
(Read the rest of the article, it's very interesting! https://what-if.xkcd.com/78/)
So if anything, this T. rex looks pretty alright in weight! 

[Silvanusaurus]

The flagrantly glaring sunlight in these images is giving me a headache, I'm not paying extra if it's an accessory included with the figures.

[suspsy]

Indeed, this is one of the few T. rex figures I've seen that actually looks like it weighed eight or nine tons in life.

Good catch, Tim!  That slipped past me, probably because I'm too busy.

[Dinoguy2]

Ouch! Right in the wallet! I must buy these. Almost all this year are must haves and look better than any previous version of their respective species. Bravo.

How awesome is it that accompany finally had the cajones to make an appropriately fat T. rex?? Look at any good articulated specimen of an albertosaurine, at the way the belly ribs make a convex arc towards the pubic boot , and you can see that this is correct. And those are the slender subfamily!
