Safari Ltd.: New for 2018

[Daspletotyrannus]

I really don't think it a Thylacine. For the picture was shown in Asia not Australia. And as far as I know Thylacine didn't live in Asia. 

[terrorchicken]

While I agree there are nauseatingly too many horses made, the same philosophy can be seen here: it's in a tripod stance! the arms are pronated! The feathers are in the wrong place! It looks shrink-wrapped! The colors seem unnatural! 

haha! I was thinking of that when I wrote my post. I guess its natural for one to become critical of whatever one is passionate for or an expert of. 

[tanystropheus]

Hmmmm... the 'Hyaenodon' could be a Thylacine.

I've been thinking the same thing...

Oh great! another extant animal...

[stargatedalek]

How exactly are thylacines extant? No more extant than mammoths...

[CityRaptor]

Well, it became extinct less than 100 years ago.

[Faelrin]

If it is a Thylacine, I'd be happy with that, even though there's other great Thylacine figures on the market. I just wish other recent extinct creatures were made into figures as well.

Come to think of it, as sad as this is, both the Vaquita and Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which have recently gotten figures, might follow suit in a few years, if not already, due to the low population numbers. So those might count then in that case. 

[stargatedalek]

Ivory billed woodpeckers are already considered extinct, you may have been thinking of pileated woodpeckers though their population isn't in particular danger.

[Faelrin]

Oh they are already extinct? I was thinking there was only a few individuals left. That's a shame.

Well, there are photographs of living thylacines in zoos in the early 1900s, so yeah, more recently extinct than mammoths.

I was thinking in regards to what material we have from them rather than a literal date of extinction.

Sorry, if this was mentioned before, I havn't read the complete thread thoroughly.

Yeah, but did Thylacines lived in Asia?

[PhilSauria]

No Thylacines recorded in Asia, thought to be distributed throughout Australia, Tasmania and as far north as New Guinea only.

No Thylacines recorded in Asia, thought to be distributed throughout Australia, Tasmania and as far north as New Guinea only.

And the photo of the creature was taken in Asia, which is evidence to disprove the Thylacine theory.

[Archosauria]

I think it's definitely a Hyenadon.

[Vidusaurus]

No way it's a thylacine, the animal shown was way too buff and the pattern on its fur doesn't match the thylacine specimens we have.

[Shonisaurus]

But miromimus says so. He is a salesman of figures of toy dinosaurs and of resin figures of collection. He is also aware of what figure that mysterious mammal is and he already knows it and it's like a thylacine or maybe he's just joking.

It seems more like a hyaenodon, but we should not rule out a thylacine. I keep both assumptions open.

[Reptilia]

I'm not persuaded he knows, usually retailers are very careful to not let any unallowed info come out. I believe he was more genuinely guessing.

[Mironimus]

Well, I don't know if it's a thylacine, it just looked somewhat thylacine to me, at first sight.
I just saw the blurry picture and thought that could be a thylacine, I didn't had in mind anymore where this picture popped up on the map.

[Takama]

Well whatever reatiler Leaked the Schelich models is really getting chewed out i bet 

Now there models are veiwable with a simple google search

[Archosauria]

I saw some people earlier in the thread say that Safari will be releasing an Ankylosaur, but I didn't see anything that looks like an Ankylosaur in the images or teaser video. I saw a Titanosaur of some kind, the Daeodon, and the Mastodon, but I never came across anything that resembles a Thyreophoran of any kind.

So how was it discovered that they were making an Ankylosaur?

I've wanted Safari to make another Ankylosaur for quite some time now. Their Carnegie Anky is absolutely superb!
