Safari Ltd.: New for 2018

[Joey]

Just to let people know, all of the remaining 2018 Safari figures (Malawisaurus, Dimetrodon, Hyaenodon and Macrauchenia) are expected to be available on DeJankins on December 18th.

[Shonisaurus]

Indeed, Safari is waiting to market its latest figures for the Christmas campaign. Other years Safari previously sold all his figures, but unfortunately this year will have to wait.

[Paleodude]

Strange of them to hold back on the more obscure taxa for the holidays (minus possibly Dimetrodon) rather than holding back the models like the new Triceratops that are guaranteed to sell well. Anyways I think this is a great year for Safari and a good followup to the 2017 line. The added sauropods and mammals were a great addition to help pad out some diversity.

For all friends from Europe, now it's possible to pre-order the FULL 2018 new Safari prehistoric line at Urzeitshop.
Expected shipping time: mid/late December.

[Shonisaurus]

I have already ordered all the dinosaurs and prehistoric animals from Safari 2018 to the urzeitshop company (they sent me an email alert) and I am very happy. Less the mastodon (mammoth americanum and daeodon), the rest I have ordered and paid for. 

Yesterday they made a discount, I hope that those beauties come to me soon.

[Mironimus]

As soon as the new Safari figures arrive I will ship them.

Last News!

The malawisaurus, macrauchenia and the hyaenodon are already available to forum members living in the USA on the safari webpage.

On the other hand unfortunately the dimetrodon will have to wait at least until January next year according to comments Dejankins on its website, yes for those interested in the new figures of Safari and sells malawisaurus, hyaenodon and macrauchenia. I give you the links:

And the commercialization on the part of Dejankins of the malawisaurus, hyaenodon and macrauchenia ideal to make a gift or to autoregalar something for Christmas:

That Malawisaurus looks just gorgeous.

[terrorchicken]

its also really small (or the mammals are really big?)

I believe the mammals are really big this year.   

[Jose S.M.]

The mammals are more or less in the standard safari dinosaur size (by standard dinosaur size I mean things like all the ceratopsians besides Triceratops or all the ornithopods for instance), that would be less than 20cm long and 10cm tall, the Malawisaurus is pretty long but not much taller than the mammals. There's something in the compositions of the shot that makes the mammals look gigantic, but Macrauchenia is 12 cm long, while Malawisaurus is 35 cm.

Really pretty Malawisaurus!
I wish Safari didn't include a trunk on Macrauchenia, I heard that recent studies disprove a long(ish) trunk on Macrauchenia. The black on the face looks a bit out of place as well.

Not quite.As of now Macrauchenia may or may not have had a trunk in life.If it had one,it may have been shorter and more tapir like than what is seen in the new model and most restorations though.

[tanystropheus]

I really want to see a "trunked" sauropod, Crystal Palace-style Iguano and Dinosauroid and Troodon (Sideshow? Mezco?)...at some point!

Macrauchenia almost looks like a modern animal (as opposed to Shoebills).

[Shonisaurus]

I think that the hyaenodon and the macrauchenia are oversized in the photography with respect to the malawisaurus can be a photographic fake.

Anyway, the macrauchenia in a way reminds me as well as forum members say the saiga antelope, is for me a mix of tapir and dromedary without hump. Anyway, I wish it was as big as the great Schleich model, although this seems to overcome it. 

On the other hand the hyaenodon is a great figure I like sincerely more than Mojo without meaning that the Moya hyaenodon is fabulous, but the safari hyaenodon looks more detailed and less static. 

The malawisaurus I hope it is only a little smaller than the amargasaurus. It is a pity that they do not release for now the dimetrodon for which we have reserved figures in online stores like I will have to wait.

i really hope that safari will start upping the size on the sauropod figures. honestly, the closest thing we have gotten to amazing large scale sauropod figures were either the carnegie line or PNSO. i needs me some large scale titanosaurs, darn it

I'm with you! The Malawisaurus is a wonderful start; it's nice to have a 1:40 Safari titanosaur that's bigger than the Carnegie Saltasaurus, but I'm really hoping to see... well, ANY of the supergiant titanosaurs from them as well. Argentinosaurus, Patagotitan, Alamosaurus, whatever.

I'm really hoping for an updated Mamenchisaurus as well (or at least on Omeisaurus if they don't want to make a very large model).

[Shonisaurus]

Although I know that most of the members of the forum do not agree, I would like Safari to do a rapetosaurus and with it a majungasaurus or majungatholus. We need wildlife from Madagascar apart from the masiakasaurus.
