I'll wait for whatever it takes, although I honestly don't expect big news from Safari. Something tells me that this year in general, except for Chinese brands, will be a poor year in terms of dinosaur news and prehistoric animals in terms of western companies as I have already pointed out.

As much as we complain, Safari will not reveal its news before, we have to be patient to sanctify ourselves as people.

My opinion is the following, is that the more we complain in life about anything and not only in relation to revealing the news about Safari dinosaurs but in general terms, the more people and people will hit us with more force and violence life.

Patience and resignation and conformism make us better people and in this case waiting as long as it is for them to reveal the news of Safari without expecting great news or great things will make us better people.

What has to be from Safari will be.

This discussion means only one thing. No matter how a company unveils its new products someone won't be happy  8) :P C:-)

I'm trying to think of a way that companies could reveal their products that would make me unhappy, and I can't think of one aside from their launching them into my face with a trebuchet.

This would mean free Figures! Trebuchet sounds okayish to me.

No, that sounds more like REBOR.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

We originally planned to realease haikouichtys, bremodus, rhizodus, stethacanthus, and many more fish. Here is a neon green rubbery jurassic park knockoff rex that has a articulated jaw

Of course Safari WILL bring out a new T.rex. which will presumbly not be accurate due to being a fantasy take on it.

Looking at the Siluettes again, i kind of disliked the SPinotail. But then it made sense. The last gen of SPinos got critic here and there fot being quadrupedal, oder something in between blabla.

I just made this a few moments ago and it could be a nice, Bipedal (maybe semi tripod for stability) Spinosaurus. Just a bit more upright, than completely horizontal.

So we're pretty sure the silhouettes shown represent the full line up this year, right? I suppose that would track with the suggestions that they might limit their production in the coming year due to the hit Covid dealt to various industries.

Faelrin

I've been wondering that as well but it has only been a week too. Just gotta wait and see. Granted even if these were the only new ones I'm sure they'll be exciting.

I'm also curious as to what may end up being retired.

I hope not, but it seems likely

I don't mind a smaller line up for this year tbh. Got plenty of fantastic Safari figures I still need to catch up on, some I've been putting off for years.

Exactly! Definitely the silver lining in the cloud. Not to mention catching-up with other brands too.

I wouldn't mind if they were less figures this year. What would bother me a bit would be if all if them are theropods.

It makes sense, though. It's been a rough year, not only because of the pandemic, but they've also moved. So, I can see them scaling back for next year, and theropods are probably bigger sellers than anything else. Of course, that's only if these are all there is.

suspsy

While I can certainly understand Safari's reasons for reducing the number of releases next year, it will be a tremendous disappointment if they are all theropods. Doug Watson would have completed sculpting on the 2021 models a long time ago, so presumably he did a whole bunch of them.

We shall see.
