New for 2023 - Figures to purchase, Not produce

[bmathison1972]

Safari isnt as big as I remember. Can't go wrong either way

[endogenylove]

Slightly updated, condor is now on the YES list

[bmathison1972]

I am adding the Papo spider, wall lizard, and seahorse now that I am more confident on the species
There are pics on STS forum, but they are not good enough quality for me to add here just yet

[JimoAi]

Kaiyodo already did hippocampus kuda but IG the papo one will be more accessible for the western market

[bmathison1972]

My Papo 'YES' is now up to 10 lol; maybe I'll dump the pigeon since the Kaiyodo one I have is so good already

[Arctinus]

Safari isnt as big as I remember. Can't go wrong either way

Yeah, I think I'll go with Safari, but I have some other one's on my priority list, so I might change my mind in the meantime.

[Isidro]

Yes:

CollectA boto

Maybe:
Schleich caracal
Schleich aardvark

[bmathison1972]

OK I think I made my 'final for now' decision for Papo 2023. Things may change as better quality pics show up.

Think I'll pass on the pigeon for now; a solid-piece figure would be nice, but with 10 things that would be new or higher priority, I'll stick with the Kaiyodo pigeon for now (esp since it's really nice)

[JimoAi]

Updated for collectA!

[Arctinus]

Also updated for Collecta.

OK, OK...maybe the Mosasaurus (people on the DTF really seem to like it)

Also might get the Papo giant squid at some point even if it's not fully accurate (that alone hasn't really stopped me before in all honesty) but I'm not counting that in my 2023 list since it technically came out late last year

[bmathison1972]

Added the Safari Utahraptor! I'll update the Safari post later today!
