Sbabam - New for 2021

[Halichoeres]

The maker of the slightly famous Metoposaurus is back at it, with an array of (mostly) Cenozoic animals:


woolly mammoth


Smilodon


woolly rhino


Kaprosuchus, definitely the odd one out. Kaprosuchus really is the go-to terrestrial crocodile these days. I guess we have Paul Sereno's incredible talent for self-promotion to thank.


Deinotherium


Arctodus


cave lion


dire wolf (I know people have been recently wishing for one--this is what you wanted, right?)


Titanoboa


muskox


Dinocrocuta paging @SBell


Hyaenodon

[suspsy]

Where does one purchase these?

[Mattyonyx]

Where does one purchase these?

They're sold at newsstands in Italy, inside big blind bags.

[Faelrin]

Is this our first Arctodus and Dinocrocuta? First toy of Titanoboa too from the looks of it (I know there's there REBOR ones, but I wouldn't call those toys).

That Kaprosuchus is certainly the odd one out. I would have went for a Borealosuchus, Purussaurus, or Quinkana or something else from the Cenozoic along those lines.

I feel called out on the Dire wolf thing, because I have wanted a new one for so long (and even more so with the new paper), but this doesn't fulfill that itch for me sadly. Still I really appreciate them going all out on Cenozoic stuff, many of which still don't have any figures of. I also forgot but are these like the squishy toys from Diramix?

[Stegotyranno420]

@Faelrin atleast there are figures of your prehistoric puppy(whilst outdated) but still no epicyon.
I feel embarrassed I had hope for a epicyon while scrolling through the list.
Hopefully, we get our primeval pooches in figure form
And to all the big companies out there, learn from Sbabam

[stargatedalek]

Weirdly enough that might be the most accurate Direwolf now, since it's scrunched head coincidentally looks vaguely closer to the real deal than the oversized grey wolves we've had before. Doesn't help most of those exaggerated the jaws by elongating them to look angrier.

[SBell]

@Halichoeres you're damn right I need that dinocrocuta. And several others (but not the dire wolf...)

Can you provide the link because I will definitely be placing an order as soon as I can!

[SBell]

I have an arctodus from Faunacasts...but it's not a toy either.
And there are fewer of them than the Rebor titanoboa!

[Loon]

Can't say these interest me much, but I have to commend them for doing mostly mammals. If only Safari or CollectA could do the same sometime soon...

[Thialfi]

Colour me impressed by their choices of species. I don't really have interest in these particular figures, but companies like Safari and CollectA: do take note! These are the Cenozoic mammals we are craving for.

[Halichoeres]

@suspsy @SBell they're for sale here, but I think they only ship to Italy: https://www.sbabam.it/categoria/kreaturex/predatori-preistorici/

If only someone made a solid Dinocrocuta, I still don't like wibbly wobbly toys.

I don't really care for these rubbery dust magnets, either, but I've been known to tolerate them for the sake of having a weird fish or amphibian.

Of course they don't. But I'll still try to track one down!

[Halichoeres]

Hm. There's also this site: https://www.sbabam.com/sbabam-shop/

Which seems to sell a more restricted inventory, but ships to more countries (though still not the US or Canada). Maybe they'll get the mammals in stock eventually?

I think I found at least the dinocrocuta... maybe. So that's something.

[Stuckasaurus (Dino Dad Reviews)]

These are quite good for a cutesy kids line! Nice to some some of the obscure ones here. I particularly like the Deinotherium and Musk Ox!

[SBell]

We'll... I did it. I found and bought the Dinocrocuta and hyaenodon.
And the Metoposaurus!
Now for the trip from Europe...

[Halichoeres]

The latest set of cheap rubber toys from Sbabam is mostly modern carnivores, but does include a gray version of the Smilodon from the Prehistoric Predators set:

[austrosaurus]

These are...not bad I guess? They kind of look like the Dinosaur King chibis. I'd pick them up for a couple dollars if they were available locally but I won't go out of my way to track them down.

Same! I don't hate them. They have their own, unique style and the choice of species is quite good.

[Halichoeres]

I don't have any of these mammals but with their rubbery legs I imagine them having a hard time standing up, unlike the DK chibis. But certainly a similar level of stylization.
