Got 2 new 2023 releases today at my work, the tuatara & mountain lion!

Here is a walkaround of the Tuatara:

Another really wonderful incredible creatures figure. Safari did a great job on it and I'm happy to have now 2 of these species in my collection! Can't wait to take some outdoor photos with this figure.


With Safari's leopard gecko from this year and the crested gecko from last year.

Starting with the species choice, it is quite interesting. Animals like these are what I expect from this series. Tuataras are not lizards and they're not comparable to any extant animal. So, it turns them very special. They are just a thing but a special thing. Thanks for this great walk around with these useful comparison pictures.

Nice figure

Interesting. I originally had the Kaiyodo Dinotales tuatara in my collection. But I bought the recent Safari Australian TOOB and the tuatara therein was actually better, so I swapped it out!

This Tuatara is really great. For now I only own the Colorata one but having such a huge guy is very tempting.

Snout to vent lenght please ?

Thank you for the walkaround

Total length is 18.5 cm

Body length is 11 cm

Thank you Jolie I need to find a place for it on my 1/3 shelf

Every figure you have pictured here is incredible! It is tempting to look for them even though they are so big . . . (that little toob tuatara is perfect, though, what set did that come in?)

Thank you! The Toob Tuatara is from the new 2023 Australian Continent toob. Highly recommend it!

Why does it feel like the smaller TOOB version has better proportions, and less awkward limb positioning compared to the larger IC counterpart? I know some Tuataras have short tails, but the IC sculpt is a bit too short for my liking.
