Holy hell!!!! Thank you so much for that @K907 - I bought it and yes it's going on the Blog!

Accoutrements is a company that seems to have a lot of strange models that are kind of under the radar...

NSD Bashe

That's pretty cool I wonder what sort of brand name you'll find written on the model itself...

Indeed they do have a lot of models especially back in the 90's/2000's. I remember I came across their store catalog, Archie McPhee, back in 2000 and got a mystery box with various animal figures. I had like two salamanders and such (gave them away unfortunately).

I had a Gila monster very similar to that as a kid. Looks like same body, but had a closed mouth, not those ridiculous chompers. I wonder if one was a copy of the other...
I like turtles.

I did have that Gila monster that's in that set. I also do recall seeing a closed mouth version before. Lol I kinda like the one with teeth mostly because of I love the vintage type of look.

Here's a lot with another of those unmarked cuttlefish:

The cuttlefish is based on the AAA and the octopus on one from an Animal Planet set (not Chap Mei though).

https://www.ebay.com/itm/405059287025

I have a vague recollection of that, now that I see it. Clearly Safari has always done unique things that stretched beyond figures. I still would have liked to see zoo/park sets to work with at least the toob sets, if not the larger ones.

That barn is neat! I had a model farm set when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite toys. It was by Ertle. I had a barn, house, silos, machine shed, garage, and a variety of animals and farm equipment. Used AstroTurf to set it up on, replaced it with white felt in the winter for snow. I still have it boxed up on my garage. I would set it up again if I had the space for it.

I don't think I've ever seen this white version of the Safari jellyfish:

@Saarlooswolfhound  I found the listing I remembered seeing, it's still up!  The butterflyfish has TRUST written on it and the dolphin has HELP on it:

Interesting! Thanks for sharing it!

What's up with the animals with words on them? My daughter has a collared lizard that says something on it. Can't remember what exactly.

That's what we were discussing in my new additions topic. I have a macaw, and just got a barn owl and Tibetan fox with Love, Ask, and Seek on them. I don't have any idea what its all about.

stargatedalek

I had a toucan with something written on it like that at some point, don't remember details though sorry.
