I do think it's an actual eye, it looks like it has a distinct convex shape. On some kind of mammal?

So only the most central part is the actual eye then, and it's got orange-y fur around it? Probably some sort of hoofstock. Yawn.

That's how I'm reading it, anyway. And yeah, yawn indeed. Unless it's something cool like Megaloceros?


BlueKrono

Looks like a bison or some other kind of shaggy bovine to me.

In the video with the blurry photos one was a musk ox so maybe is that.

AcroSauroTaurus

It could be the Musk Ox. But the bottom one is definitely a Vaquita,(the dark pattern is very recognizable.) except it should be shades of gray, not blue.

Aren't they kind of kidding us? I mean,It's September already,the other companies will start showing off what's up on their sleeve shortly,so,what's the point in showing a teaser,just bring on the releases!  :P

Schelichs models were leaked.

Safari likes to play this pointless game of teasers, but I vastly prefer how Collecta and Papo do, even if their reveals come later in the year. It makes much more sense to me to have new stuff revealed around november/december rather than start with hints as soon as august/september. Well, in a perfect world companies would unveil their collections in december and the stuff would be available in january, but maybe it's just me.

I like knowing as early as possible. That way I can plan my finances with more foresight. Teasers annoy me though.

Ikessauro

This teasing strategy is annoying the hell out of me!  >:( Common, release the full pictures already!!! One per week would be better than a piece of a picture each week or so.

This guessing game isn't nearly as tolerable as last years with those silhouettes. I'd rather have nothing to see now than these kinds of teasers.

Appalachiosaurus

Patience young padawans, we will know all about what is being released in due time. I honestly like the teasers, it's a little game to play until the true releases. It isn't like the full pictures are being delayed anyways.

You know, if you just don't pay attention to the Safari teasers for the next month or so, you'll get the same effect you're looking for.  ;)

Halichoeres

Another teaser, this time with something interesting:



Some kind of malacostracan arthropod, maybe a zebu, and a new ceratopsian. Centrosaurine?

Sometimes I draw pictures

stargatedalek

Looks like it was a spiny lobster.

Shonisaurus

Ceraptoside is fixed. Let's hope it is a centrosaurus is a very popular figure in the toy market.  :)

Faelrin

I can't wait to find out what the ceratopsian is (and see more of that color scheme, it seems interesting at least).

Honestly, im hoping its a new Triceratops.   There previous one is showing its age, and it needs a facelift.

X

If it's a revised triceratops with keratinous spines, then Safari is just gonna keep getting perfect approval from me.

SpartanSquat

I hope it will be a new Triceratops. Watson made the best ceratopsian models in the market

Takama

Another reason why i hope its a trike is because they HAVE not made a Chasmosaur since the Vegaceratops. Every ceratopsian since then (with the exception of the Psitaccosaurus) have been Centrosaurs.

ItsTwentyBelow

Alright, another well-done ceratopsian to add to the herd! I'm hopeful it's something other than Triceratops, which is just too standard of an animal for me. I'd be more excited to see the Battat Triceratops get a re-release. I've already got 12 Trikes in my collection, but not one Centrosaurus!

Although, if it is Triceratops, I'm sure it will be stunning and a must-have.
