Thoughts on Safari

[Isidro]

It's barely visible but I think it looks like more a bearded vulture than an osprey.

There appears to be three new additions there. An osprey, bearded vulture, and mahi-mahi

[bmathison1972]

Also looks like a new red fox. With regards to dog/cat, looks like a domestic dog on the left and a lynx/bobcat like animal on the upper right. Oh, and three Doug Watson theropods, I hope?!?!

Without knowing full reveals, I will probably be getting the osprey and bearded vulture (both new species for me), the three theropods (assuming new genera for me), and probably the domestic carnivoran. I won't be getting the mahi mahi; I am content with Colorata's.

There's some more images of the new Safari figures on the Dinosaur Toy Forum!  The bearded vulture and unenlagiine look extremely good!  Also, @Saarlooswolfhound it looks like there will be two new dog figures!

...it looks like there will be two new dog figures!

It looks like the Shiba Inu found its way onto that table somehow. That's not an upcoming figure (you can see it's got its hangtag attached). There ARE two new canid figures though.

Oh, thanks for the correction Shane!

The newest images of that mahi-mahi/dorado/dolphinfish on the Dinosaur Toy Forum look epic; I only wonder if the stomach will label it as mahi-mahi, dorado or dolphinfish...

It will be labeled and marketed as Mahi-Mahi.

I LOVE that summer coat fox and pomeranian!

[bmathison1972]

Discussions on the three theropods on the DTF suggest any one of multiple genera. I am sure to get any and all that are new for me. Now that better pics are revealed, I am planning on getting the bearded vulture, osprey, Pomeranian, and any dinosaurs that are new taxa. The fox, mahi mahi, and lioness look great, but I don't need those taxa replaced in my collection.

It's not a lioness    And while you probably do have the taxa represented, you likely don't have this specific example of the taxa (I'm not sure it exists elsewhere in figure form, at least not that I've found).

you know...I wondered if it might be some prehistoric cat but I didn't want to jump to that conclusion. Oh well, extinct or extant, if it's 1) new taxa and 2) good size based on similar taxa in my collection, I am sure to get it LOL

It's extant, and it is a taxa that most people have, just not in this particular form.

I'm debating just giving it away but I like to see people guess.

[bmathison1972]

Nah, don't tell us. Make us wait for the formal reveal     

[Gwangi]

I'm guessing it's a maneless male lion, or maybe an Asiatic lion.

[MudpupWaterdog]

I'm guessing it's a maneless male lion, or maybe an Asiatic lion.

Maybe it's one of the lions of Tsavo...has Safari ever made a model of a specific individual animal before?

(I'm only half joking, I normally would not be interested in adding a lion to my collection, but a historically significant lion...)

[sphyrna18]

After the Type D Orca, my money is on Asiatic Lion.

[Saarlooswolfhound]

It would be neat if Safari did a few more cryptid figures. I.e. another big cat could be a marozi. But an Asiatic lion is welcome!

[EpicRaptorMan]

Looks more like a maneless lion to me than an Asiatic Lion (assuming it's supposed to be ♂️)

[suspsy]

Well, my hope for a new Asian elephant gets dashed again. But all these new toys look nice.
