My absolute favorite is the white buffalo :

New black rhino . In the catalogue he looks a bit silly, but the more I look at her, the more I love this model
( Except the paitwork . Why, oh why could they not have painted her nails   )

All interesting figures and thanks for your very useful pictures.
Bison is really a great sculpt and the white color turns it very attractive!
About the rhino, I know it is not an accurate figure but I feel that I want it, a feeling similar to the mighty Papo cape buffalo.
Hippo is nice but Papo still keeps being my favorite.
Giant panda looks an excelent figure and gellyfish is a good idea!

Very interesting figures I appreciate the action pose of the rhino, it's nice to see something different than the oh-so-common standing pose.

UFO jellyfish. Ha! Good one!

sorry Susanne, I don't really like them    I couldn't get warm with many safaris

But I see you are happy with them

very nice additions. 2014 is good year of Safari.

I like specially the white bison.

congrats Susanne

Really nice newcomers Susanne!!

Thankyou, friends for your comments

   Good that we do not all like the same

Congrats Susanne, I like the hippo very much but I have to say the buffalo is my favorite too...

New congrats Susanne   

In the catalogue, the 2014 pandas' nail are painted   I thought for sure they would have painted the eyes as well   The jellyfish isn't too bad, but I think it's tentacles would have looked better if they were made similar to the glow-in-the-dark jellyfish.

I love the Bison! Looking forward to getting one myself. I like the hippo more than I expected. Although I've been more excited about the Papo 2014 Hippo (Cow), I suspect the Safari Hippo is more the scale that I'd prefer.

Great photos Susanne! The comparisons are really helpful.

(And of course Tim's version of the Rhino is super.)

I wonder if anyone has noticed that both the new Wild Safari hippo and adult panda actually have mirror reverse poses to their respective larger Wildlife Wonders counterparts?

No, I did not notice   
Thankyou for making us aware of it   

The Whit Bison and Black Rhino are really lovely models    -form the wish list!!

How'd I miss this topic? Thanks for the pics Susanne and congratulations! I love the rhino, I just wish that catalogue pics would be more true to the actual figure. Sadly, they mess it up all the time (for better or worse).
