I don't think anyone has reserved them previously- but I'd like to do the Schleich '25 mule and paint gelding for Q1 '25 assuming that HHT gets them in stock. If not then I can sub in some older CollectA horses until they do.

Done! Looking forward to the mule review. It looks good in promo pics. I am content with Safari's but would like to see this one, too!

Also, another call to the following people who haven't been active in a while. Do you still plan on reviewing the figures you have reserved? If I don't hear from you by the end of the calendar year, I will remove them. You can still review them, but you won't have first dibs unless you re-request them.

I will also reach out to EpicRaptorMan when he comes back from his ban about his long-reserved figures.

I am also adding the Mojo Eurasian Goldfinch. I'll only reserve two of the 8 Garden Birds.

If others are not reserved when I get them I might revoew more, but it will be a last minute decision and I want to give others the opportunity.

I just realized that Birdsage had requested the Midwest tackle box almost 3 years ago in January of 2022. I didn't even think to look and at this point I'm already on the way in with the first 3/12 (the tackle box is the same 12 figures as the original 12 3" models).

So...yeah, I'm just going to carry on. They can discuss the tacklebox specifically if they like.

I'll reserve the cardinal and American goldfinch, please and thanks. Like you I'll just pick those two for now and maybe more if no one else expresses interest.

I am going to reserve the Papo 2024 jellyfish for now.

I may review the giant leaf insect but since I have reviewed many of Papo's insects, I will leave that for someone else for the time being. But if it isn't reserved when I get it, I will probably review it.

Gwangi

You can remove me from the Mojo cardinal, I would prefer to review Papo's! Also, the fallow deer.

I would like to reserve the Mojo Tasmanian devil. The review is actually finished and will be posted in a couple of weeks so I wasn't going to reserve it but it's better to be safe. You never know when someone will come along and request something you've already written a review for!

Much like Gwangi did with the Marsh Education fish and sbell did with the Tennessee Salamanders, I am going to start making my way through the rest of the Safari Smithsonian Insects.

I won't formally claim them all, that way if someone wants to review one that can, but I'll start going through those not yet reviewed as I go!

I'll review other things of interest as they come up, so don't expect all of my forthcoming reviews to be Safari insects, but a lot of them will be!

BlueKrono

I've always had a great fondness for the Safari cecropia moth. Might I put in for that one as my first ATF review?
I like turtles.

The cecropia caterpillar? Sure, it's yours.

JimoAi

Heads up, I've sent the Kaiyodo electric eel review yesterday.
