Safari 2022 releases... updated with Sahara Desert TOOB

-----------original post-----------


Jeah, a life sign. They are not dead.
Here are a few news for 2022.

Crested gecko
Patagotitan
Asia toob
Salmon shark
Twilight unicorn
Some dinosaur eggs
Feathered T-Rex new color
Blue Pyrois
Tancho koi
Rock agama

From Spielzeug Günstige

Excellent news Good to hear from them and they have a nice lineup for 2022, especially as some of us thought the companie wouldn't produce anymore

However for the moment nothing really for me. The 2 lizards seem to be from the Incredible Creature line (looking at the price), maybe the same for the koi. So it depends on the releases in the tube - south america and great lake tubes had some interesting species. The shark should be a newcomer for most of us.

Excited for the salmon shark and asian toob! Hopefully we will see product photos soon.

Ooh I am rather interested in the gecko depending on the size/paintwork.

I’m def interested in the crested gecko, as I need a figure to match my profile. Patagotitan looks promising too, I hope it’s in scale with Collecta’s Argentinosaurus.

YAY!! I'm so glad to hear that they are releasing some new figures!! I'm very interested in the rock agama, crested gecko, and salmon shark, even if the lizards are most likely larger.

So far, interested in the Patagotitan and salmon shark.

The rock agama is a maybe if a 'wildlife' figure (but bet it will be I.C.)

Maybe something from the Asia TOOB, if a new/unique small species.

Very very NICE!!! Safari is alive! And their releases include some interesting picks, such as the Agama, the Crested gecko, and (possibly) the Asian toob. Five stars!

The Tyrannosaurus and eggs aren't new, they were already available last year and part of a cross promotion with Dino Dana, thus using colour schemes from the show.
It could be that they are simply only now available at this retailer, which is odd as I think Modellpferdeversand had them already last year so no idea why Spielzeug-Günstig couldn't earlier.
The koi seems to be a repaint of the previous Incredible Creatures version.
The Patagotitan and crested gecko are very exciting news to me, Safari's sauropods are some of the best and it will be great to see a new titanosaur from them after that phenomenal Malawisaurus.
I wonder who it will be sculpted by, it would be neat if it turns out to be a Doug Watson sculpt, I love how hefty the Camarasaurus he made looks.
The Asia Toob could be cool depending on what's in there, would love to see a binturong figure.

I second that idea! Several neat iconic but unique species could be possible.

I thought their great lakes & South American toob was excellent so I hope this Asian one is good too!

It's great to finally know what we'll be getting this year. I definitely am interested in the Asia TOOB and the Patagotitan. Hopefully the TOOB has some interesting species, and it's not just small tigers and pandas. As Burgerenby said, a binturong would be fantastic.

Sounds good. But i hope in the new toob are not only common species.

Me too new medium sized species!

And i hope, that the Patagotitan is not so SMALL like their Malawisaurus. Small and expensive.

oh my Safari!

It certainly frustrates me when a small figure is expensive. Thankfully the Malawisaurus is still somehow 1:40. For something as big as Patagotitan (where estimates go anywhere from 31-40 meters ), I would think 1:80 like Collecta’s Argentinosaurus. Low key hoping I can do a group shot with them both.

Oh finally! Salmon shark definitely is the most interesting of the list right now, and I’m intrigued to see what the makeup of the Asia toob is. I wish the crestie and rock agama would be normal sized figures but I’m sure they are IC models. The agama especially would be great to have standard sized!

Also here are some pics of the Pyrois

From the looks of it these will become slowly available

I actually quite like the koi now... crazy how just some paint can really change a model!

A big improvement from the previous koi!

That's really nice, I had to go look the older one up on Toy Animal Wiki cos I wasn't familiar with it (here, incase anyone else wants to compare) and what a transformation!

Dear Sts Friends:

Well, they've done it again! They've pulled through, even with the pandemic! Yay oh yay oh yay! Yay for Safari! Not only that, but yay for my collection as well! Finally some news, and not bad at that! Man oh man, I've never seen a figure of a salmon shark, so that's new for me. Anyway, I just took a look at the list on spielzeug-guenstig, and the lineup looks great so far. The only downer is that they'll be releasing things with a staggered approach, much like Schleich does. This means we'll have to wait a few months before we here any more news. Oh well, for now, even a little news is better than nothing. Anyway, I've already taken notes for my collection, and the koi fish is on my list. Also interested in the crested gecko, and the rock agama. Man, I never saw those coming. Anyway, I'll keep watching this topic for replies, and ... well ... this is such great news! I am SO excited, I can barely write the end of this post! Anyway, if anyone hears anything else in the coming months, let me know. As always, I'll keep you informed about the additions to my collection.

Not a fan of the staggered release schedule myself but I understand why they are doing things this way. I do quite like the Koi! I am budgeting for the scheleich and papo releases I want for this year first but I might pick them up later. I don't collect this scale generally but I do have alot of japanese stuff that it would go with.
