Safari Ltd 2022 Hopes and Dreams

[Shonisaurus]

They could reproduce a patagotitan for Safari 2022 since it is a species of large sauropod, one of the largest sauropods and some parts of its skeleton are known.

[Flaffy]

When does Safari usually do their reveals? Could've sworn it was around this time of year.

Their 2021 teases began on October 5.

You don't think Safari would outright skip a year, do you?
A part of me think their 2021 releases weren't actually all they had sculpted for that year, given comments we've had in the past about the two-year-cycle it usually takes to make new figures. I suspect they may have had more ready to go, but then only released the theropods to save costs in the wake of Covid, and hopefully make more money on the more sure bet, since the general public favors theropods. If that's true, maybe we will see a more herbivore or even non-dinosaur heavy release this year...

I wonder if they're planning to do more of those armour-wearing dinosaurs. Personally, I felt no enthusiasm for the two that came out this year.

New megatherium pls

That makes me wonder when 2022's figures will be revealed. They seem to be giving pretty vague responses to folks asking when the new reveals will begin on their social media stuff. I wonder if there's been any production delays, or if the cargo shipping situation has caused them to put any reveals on hold until things are able to come into stock such as with the Pyrois repaint. A large portion of their prehistoric selection is also out of stock currently too (on their website).

I'm also wondering what's going to end up being retired next year as well.

For me this is as important as knowing what the new releases are, it lets me know which figures I need to prioritize getting.

Agreed!

I really feel like we should make "retired for 20xx" threads. It doesn't have to be one for each brand, but one for every brands retirements that year in one space would be nice. That or add a list of retiring figures in the OP of new for threads along with the new figures.

[Wandering]

My predictions for this year are Majungasaurus, Borealopelta, and maybe Cryolophosaurus.  In terms of want i want to see, I'd honestly love any Triassic era reptile or Synapsid, anything from the Paleozoic, pretty much any dinosaur that isn't a tharapod, I love tharapods, but I'd really love to see more from the order Ornithischia, or suborder Sauropodomorpha represented.  Zuul would be a great choice.

[SenSx]

I'm hoping for a Herrerasaurus and a Cryolophosaurus.
An updated more robust Dilophosaurus would be cool, but I doubt it...

I think we could adapt the current "New for YEAR" threads and just add the word "retired" in the tittle. Like, "New and Retired for 2022". This way all the information is kept in a single brand specific thread.

[Faelrin]

That certainly sounds like a good idea to have. Seconding either @stargatedalek or @Ikessauro ideas.

Totally agree
Ironically I got an old safari dilophosaurus and made it more robust
But I am excited for a new more robust cryolophosaurus

In my case I would like a feathered cryolophosaurus, I do not know if it will be scientific or not but I am very morbid that Safari made a cryolophosaurus perhaps from my point of view Carnegie made a good cryolophosaurus but I understand that this figure can be improved by Safari.

[SenSx]

Herrerasaurus and Cryolophosaurus + updated Dilopphosaurus...

But I forgot the Gallimimus !     The only JP1 dinosaur left that desperately needs a figure !
I also want a Gigantoraptor, but I somehow doubt it will come from Safari, more from PNSO once they decide to tackle dinosaurs again.

PNSO already has a Giganotoraptor

Well not in the scale (the mini figure) or the material (I'm not going to buy that bronze lol)  I am looking for.
They alwready made a bigger version of their Qianzhousaurus that had a mini before so who knows...

I don't think Shanshan is a minifigure
