yeah another Safari 'off year'. I'll probably just get the shrimp (of course-lol)...wish it didn't look like it was cooked though haha.The insects appear to be nothing more than individuals from their insect life cycle sets. Nothing new.The earthworm life cycle, although I don't currently collect annelids, is also tempting.Although Sean might be happier; the grouper and bass look pretty cool

It would be nice if they'd branch out into fresh territory--I''m sure that next year will see a trout. Meanwhile, there are very cool freshwater fish from everywhere that should see themselves as figures.I also like the shrimp. And the cave dragon. This year's dragons were less exciting.
Any word on the new toobs coming out?
no nature toobs thus far, organs, tools, ancient Rome, USA, and some generic humans
Overall? They suck. Is that too harsh? No, because from an animal-collector POV, they suck. Tools? Wow.Unless you count the Chinese Zodiac toob (if you're from another part of Asia? Sorry, your animals don't count). And I won't, because it probably means an astrological-sign toob is coming.

You want my version of harsh? This would be more interesting if someone from the 'Family Toob' took the saw from the 'Tools Toob' and harvested the organs from the other family members to make the 'Organs Toob' (I am totally kidding of course, but it's a sarcastic look at this dismal line-up ). Maybe there are others to be revealed later....By the way does anyone else think the Family Toob looks like propaganda for the U.S. Republican Party LOL
Did anyone else notice that the Wildlife Wonders puma is from the same mold as the black jaguar?Wouldn't it have been more appropriate for them to have painted it as a regular jaguar if they were going to use the same sculpt? Still,of the modern animals,my favorites here are the Largemouth Bass and the grouper.
