It features Chamois, Capercaillie, White Stork, Red Deer, European Badger, Wild Boar, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Wels Catfish, and European Eel!

Wow that's amazing, I will need this!

Nice again, but also no new specie for me

Such a cool tube and how surprising it is Safari providing an European tube!
I love the badger and a few more, I miss a red fox but I understand why it is not included. I like the fact they avoided species that we can find easily in North America. Great job Safari!

I'm not really a tube, toob, collector and the down under isn't appealing to me but the European fauna tube is already on my wantlist Great job

Nice, but WHERE is the roe deer?

I love these! I have the old Australia toob so most of these I have but I have to get it for that kakapo & tuatara! The Europe toob was also a surprise and there are many in there I want! Can't wait to see these, hopefully we won't have to wait too long

Roe deer are very stubborn these days.I'm also curious to see which brand will release a roe deer again, it seems this animal is now forgoten forever. Let's hope CollectA releases one or even Schleich since they're now able of sculpting delicate creatures as they did with the current gazelle.

The australian continent toob has nothing new from Australia, however some interesting species from New Zealand. So, I would argue that´s a good toob, even that there aren´t so much new models. I love the kakapo, as I was never in love with the S&N figure, however I will not buy a whole toob for only one small model where I already have another rendition.

The European toob is interesting, some unusual models. The european eel, the Eurasian Sparrowhawk and the Wels Catfish would be totally new figures for me. Even on TAI, there aren´t so many of those, there are some wels, but no European.

The Gray Owl, even that it´s another subspecies than the Bullyland model, is nice, but no priority for the moment.

I am always happy to see more toob-sized animals. In my opinion, the bright, contrasting colouring style that Safari uses works well for some figures like the badger and even the chamois, but I prefer more subtle shades for others such as the deer, stork and capercaille. Still, the painting quality of the recent toobs has improved compared to past toobs; it's now rare to find paint in the wrong places.

Does anyone know the exact shoulder height of the wild boar?

Check this review on Animal Toy Blog I think the boar should fit nicely in your 1/32 collection!

Thanks, Ana, that's good news. Wels catfish can sometimes be very large so it can be used for 1/32 scale too.

More toobs? Then i want:

Ediacarium toob
Devonian toob
Carboniferous toob
Permian toob

Microbe toob
Snail toob
Worm toob
Horse evolution toob
Whale evolution toob

Independantly from scale, the wild boar and chamois are the biggest reasons for me to buy this toob.

Very nice European tube,will add to my wishlist.

Like Christophe, I am interested by the wild boar and the chamois but what a pity there is no wild european wild cat!

I'm kind of interested in the Capercaillie and the sparrowhawk... Very nice!

Still, I'll wait until these are individually available on eBay.

Kind of bad that not much of wild cattle were released since 2021 by anyone... Still, Safari did a good job on many other lesser-known species I'm doing research into! :)

One more puma for my collection. I like it even if I think it could be done better.
Let's hope it won't take long to someone show it on forum.

I think it looks like a nice female to contrast with the big male from before. :)

It is nice for sure. In this catalogue picture it looks quite balanced but on other non catalogue pictures it looks quite massive.I like the colors, the black markings on tail and back of the ears and the inner leg is not completely "flat". I want it and I'm so happy Safari decided to release one but I suspect it is not yet the ultimate puma figure. However, it looks better than the current Papo.

I think this may be my favorite puma yet... But I'd have to see in hand Like you said I don't think its perfect but it looks really good and I'm excited to get one

Nice puma

I like this puma very much, it is the most interresting puma I see since the older Papo. With 14cm length, perhaps it could be 1/15

The Estemnosuchus isn't bad too and I think I could spend moneyy for it.
