OkJust an FYI there are two version of this now retired figure.

The first one was released in the 90s and it was a fully posable figure

This one (which i ordered off of Amazon) is in a fixed pose, so there is no bendable features.

The date on the bottom says 2010, so i added that distiction to the titile, But it is retired as of the time of this writeing.

When I was a generalist I had the original posable figure. While that does not bother me, I would prefer a solid/static figure!

Keep these invaluable walkarounds coming!

I never did get the poseable model. Not sure why. But I did get the later static IC model.

Oddly, mine looks quite different from this one:

It is Safari # 261529, and I probably had it in 2008 or earlier...(the photo is 2009). I didn't realize they'd added another later on!

Safari Ltd confirmed on Facebook that the figure is the same version as before and that "it is brought back due to popular demand."

Wow, a popular demand can make a brand to produce again a retired figure? Now, let's start a popular demand for the Safari LTD retired California condor and Malayan tapir!!!!

It happens occasionally. Usually they rerelease it with a slight paint change or something, like the aardvark. There's been a few like that

It seems like every year one to a few are just repaints. For example, the giraffe and its calf, the pangolin, rockhopper penguin, and sperm whale in 2019 are like that.

Mandarinfish: the one on the left is an aquarium decoration either by the brand Aquatop or virtually identical to their model; the big one on the right is a Christmas ornament by the brand December Diamonds; and the one at the bottom is an actual toy by Play Visions.
