Is this from Wild Safari Wildlife or Incredible Creatures? When I collected generally I had a set of 3 Safari meerkats that predated 2012. Or, were there three releases of this species in the WS line?

Or, were there three releases of this species in the WS line?I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is the Wild Safari Wildlife version. The Incredible Creatures is similar in that it is an adult and a baby sculpted together, but in that toy both animals are facing forward and the adult is more hunched over. If one of our members has the Incredible Creatures version perhaps they can do a walk-around of it so we can compare and contrast?

You are correct that is my retired 2012 Wild Safari Wildlife version. There was a larger Incredible Creatures version as you described that was sculpted by someone else. As you also mentioned this WSW version was replaced by my single Meerkat from 2016.

Do you have all the original sculptures of your animal toys, as you do for your dinosaurs?

It seems to keep getting done, we need some different mongoose figures!

That's great that you still have them. Maybe one day you could share a photo of those shelves on the ATF?

Maybe someday, I have been a little gun-shy since the whole Photobucket fiasco. I still haven't finished replacing all my collection shots on the DTF.
