Woolly mammoth (Replaces by Prehistoric life Toobs)
Passenger pigeon
Quagga

just like groovy tube book gone extinct and club extinct figurines .

But their the new Emoji dodo bird & woolly mammoth both of them my favorite are coming this fall 2020 that I saw it on Facebook and the article last week ago.

Tiktaalik figurines

An also Paleozoic Toobs means life before the dinosaurs. So i already have the Cambrian ERA Toobs at home. So that's was the Cambrian ERA Toobs was retired That I saw it on the safari Ltd website for final sale.
Hopefully someday Safari Ltd will make extinct animals Toobs with dodo bird figurines and Paleozoic sets 1 & 2

I would like that one as well!

@profnik I like your thinking because before I checked this out, I had just made a request to Safari Ltd for some Paleozoic Toobs over on instagram, and through a new(?) survey they have.

Here is what I posted:

I took the survey. I really hope you could return to making prehistoric Toobs. In particular I would love to see a prehistoric amphibian and early tetrapod one (Diplocaulus, Ichthyostega, Prionosuchus, Tiktaalik, etc), a sea scorpion/eurypterid one, if not a Paleozoic one in general. I think Paleozoic animals are severely lacking in the toy market (outside of Dimetrodon, and Dunkleosteus), and would love to see more made and I think Toobs are a good way to get a lot of species out there all at once. Additionally they could be good for educational purposes to teach about the interesting life before dinosaurs, and evolution as well (especially early tetrapods Ichthyostega and the fishapod Tiktaalik). I have your Cambrian Life and Prehsitoric Sharks Toobs, and Inostrancevia, and Scutosaurus in my collection, and they are definitely some of the best if not only figures for some of the species made in those.

@Sim I'd like to see Edmontonia as well. That one is long over due for a new figure (but then again so are most of the Dinosaur Park formation animals such as Corythosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and of course Centrosaurus, and Chasmosaurus).

[Shonisaurus]

Safari needs an arrhinoceratops is a ceraptoside very little represented in the toy and even collectibles market and deserves a better representation.

On the other hand totally agree a chasmosaurus is necessary. I am a follower of the chasmosaurus.

On the other hand we need a torosaurus and a pentaceratops. For me, those four ceratopsides should be represented by the Safari brand. I don't want to say in the same year but in the next few years Safari could make a paleoartistic representation in figures of those four rare ceraptosides in the toy market.

On the other hand a kosmoceratops, machairoceratops or a medusaceratops would be interesting to do them.

Other interesting ceratopsids are the centrosaurus and the protoceratops whose figure is beginning to be marketed fortunately. They are two well-known dinosaurs within the paleontological point of view.

Edmontonia would be nice, there hasn't been a good one since the original Battat.

Edmontonia would be nice, there hasn't been a good one since the original Battat.

Also the edmontonia of the AAA brand is not bad. It is perhaps not a great figure like Battat but falls within the acceptable and positive. There is another figure of Edmontonia by Schleich and Collecta and both are quite good representations in my opinion.

Edmontonia would be nice, there hasn't been a good one since the original Battat.

Up here in Toronto, the old Battat Edmontonia is almost common in the thrift shops. Whenever I find a Battat, it's frequently one of these. Sure would like to see what Doug's sculpt of one would look like though. I'd hope that it would be in the 1/35 scale.

[Daspletodave]

I think Safari will include a new ceratopsian in next year's releases.

[SidB]

I think Safari will include a new ceratopsian in next year's releases.

That would seem likely. This year broke the pattern by the absence of one in the lineup.

[Shonisaurus]

I think Safari will include a new ceratopsian in next year's releases.

I would like a protoceratops, chasmosaurus, centrosaurus, medusaceratops, kosmoceratops, torosaurus, pentaceratops or arrhinoceratops. I hope he makes one of my predictions in the event that Safari and therefore Doug Watson make a new ceraptoside next year.

[Sim]

There was no new ceratopsian in 2016 as well.  I'm glad there wasn't one for 2020, a break from them was needed for more diversity.  Also the fact that Safari's excellent Nasutoceratops has been retired makes me wonder if it got to the point where there was too many ceratopsids in the line.  By that I mean there was too many similar animals and they competed with each other to the point where something just no longer sold well enough.

[suspsy]

I'm happy with not getting a ceratopsian next year if it means we get another stegosaur or ankylosaur instead. I want my damn Zuul toy already.

[austrosaurus]

I'm happy with not getting a ceratopsian next year if it means we get another stegosaur or ankylosaur instead. I want my damn Zuul toy already.

We can have both! But I agree that a new thyreophoran would be much preferred.

[Sim]

Currently there's only three thyreophorans in the Wild Safari line (Sauropelta, Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus) while there's 8 ceratopsians (Vagaceratops, Diabloceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus, Einiosaurus, Psittacosaurus, Triceratops, Regaliceratops, Styracosaurus).  Including retired figures adds one to each (Kentrosaurus and Nasutoceratops).  I would prefer to see new thyreophorans instead of new ceratopsians which there's much more of in the Wild Safari line.  It would be amazing if Safari made two new thyreophorans for 2021, they definitely need more representation as the WS line currently only has one each of stegosaur, ankylosaurid and nodosaurid.  A bipedal Scelidosaurus could be nice too!

[Shonisaurus]

I would like a miragaia and an euplocephalus of the genus tyrophor, both figures only have them in Carnegie and are unfortunately discontinued. I hope that one day maybe next year 2021 Safari will reissue those two species of tyrophorus or similar dinosaurs. I would also like a borealopelta.

[austrosaurus]

Euoplocephalus would be a nice addition, but since they've only recently done a new Ankylosaurus I don't see another ankylosaurid coming in the next couple of years at least. I would say Borealopelta, Tuojiangosaurus, a new Kentrosaurus or, if they did do an ankylosaurid, Zuul would be more likely.

[Faelrin]

@Sim You've certainly raised a good point here. They are really lacking in thyreophorans. Hopefully we get more in the coming years. On that note they could use more ornithopods too (but well at least we did just get that beautiful Edmontosaurus this year, but with the Gryposaurus retired, now the Edmontosaurus, the Parasaurolophus, and Iguanodon are all that's left).

[Shonisaurus]

Following the thread I would like a tsintaosaurus, saurolophus, corythosaurus, hypacrosaurus, lambeosaurus, olorotitan or a velafrons. They are little treated lambeosaurid dinosaurs in the toy market and they need more representation.
