Safari Ltd.: New for 2018

[Doug Watson]

It finally clicked for me what the upright rodent reminded me of: the gopher from Caddyshack

Funny!

I love your Iguanodon signature, did you make that up yourself or find it somewhere? I wonder where mine will stand in the next 100 years?

[Mononykus]

Thanks. I did the signature myself. The Crystal Palace version is from Shapeways, and I colorized the Marx and Invicta in photoshop.

I'm not particularly pleased in the manner in which these models are being revealed.

I especially don't like how the prehistorics are being mixed with modern animals. It's a bit anti-climactic.

I almost feel as if Safari will randomly reveal another 7-8 dinosaurs out of the blue...

[sauroid]

is this the most stressful teaser/reveal year of Safari?

[John]

...I almost feel as if Safari will randomly reveal another 7-8 dinosaurs out of the blue...

That's because they will be randomly revealed over time.

The down side is it makes planning what to get for the holidays more difficult if one has no idea what will even be offered beforehand...

And now,Papo and CollectA will stop showing previews to upcoming releases too!

Great overview Loon! 

I would wager the owl is actually a Long-eared Owl based on its long ear tufts and orange face.



And that the marmot is actually a Woodchuck based on its pale cheeks.

[Loon]

 Hey, thanks ZoPteryx. That seems to be the owl I'm looking for. Also, would that mean the animal in the bernie's picture is a woodchuck?

I don't think so,it's more like the opposite.There are no new models,so there is nothing to talk about.Years ago, peolpole would talk because the models were actually revelaed,so there was topic for discussion.

No problem! 

Also, would that mean the animal in the bernie's picture is a woodchuck?

I would believe so.

Well, this thread is 20 pages long.

[Loon]

Thanks everyone for the comments. Updated the overview with several suggestions to increase accuracy.

Edited by Admin - as per forum rule 8. "Avoid quoting entire posts if they are long and/or contain many images."

[sauroid]

thats a very long quote

[CityRaptor]

Yes. Please avoid long quotes like that.

[tyrantqueen]

Agreed. RIP mouse wheel.

What is really amazing to me is the difference between the reaction on this forum and the reaction on the STS where their Safari 2018 thread members have embraced the tease and have enjoyed sharing their guesses. Their members apparently have more patience, because I can't find one negative comment.
Personally I would prefer them releasing everything at once but I won't get my knickers in a knot about it.

[suspsy]

Speaking for myself, I'm quite neutral on Safari's tactic. I don't enjoy it, but I don't dislike it either. We'll know what all the 2018 toys are soon enough.

What's different this time is that as soon as they are revealed they are available. Last year they were revealed in October but available later in November and first day of December. Well except the Tyrannosaurus was available earlier on Amazon but I don't trust them like before since they decapitaded my Diplodocus!
