Seriously?! Hardly any of these lasted very long, I only put the Yorkshire terrier, Thoroughbred stallion and Hereford calf on my wishlist!

The anaconda did well lasting 4 years, whereas the goose in my opinion was also retired earlier than I expected

Thanks again, Kostas! From htis list of short survivors, I only have the Arctic fox. Though, there is in this list a figure that I will regret not buying bfore it turns rare. It is the spotted hyena. Very Happy

Again, if the list is accurate, I think most of them make sense. A shame about the dinogorgon, that was their 1 prehistoric model I actually really liked.

Yeah, the Dinogorgon is one of the best prehistoric figures they've made in several years. I guess kids (or their parents) are only buying the terrible ones.

Yes, the dinogorgon is one of their best prehistoric and Schleich has the only one. Safari has the congenetic Inostrancevia.

The Safari Inostrancevia is discontinued too, sadly. So once this one is gone, there will be nobody making a gorgonopsian.
