Safari LTD 2024 ?

Hello,
I found this on the brand's official website. I don't know much about this brand, but it seems to be what's new for 2024 :)

They actually just announced these for 2023 but many probably won't be available until 2024. Safari is still having production issues.

Sadly we may not get 2024 announcements until mid to late next year.

I don't know whether this gray parrot of safari ltd is released or not! maybe it's for 2024. I can't find it online

The grey parrot is not available yet. Safari Ltd doesn't follow the traditional habits regarding release dates.

Very sad, that such a great company like Safari still has so much trouble caused by Corona. I hope that they will stay strong.

On the dinosaur toy forum a Safari member said the rattlesnake and axolotl *should* be here before 2024 but the other things not released yet (parrot, shark, Everglades toob, dinosaurs etc) aren’t expected til early 2024

Also keep in mind it’s only really Schleich that delivers everything at once. CollectA typically has winter and summer releases, but it varies. Papo releases things all throughout the year (we still don’t have the Einiosaurus, and only a month or so ago did I manage to get the last of the 2023 extant animals from Papo). So it isn’t just Safari that releases things throughout the year.

Not corona. It's mismanagement. Papo, Schleich and others don't have these problems.

I really don't appreciate this kind of comment. I have tremendous respect for what the Safari Ltd brand has been doing over all these years, enduring until today as a small family business that has a genuine love for what they produce and doesn't easily succumb to the dictatorship of easy profit, unlike almost all companies these days.

Tupolew Tu-154, I think that is quite the assumption. Safari has done a lot for the collecting world and continues to produce high quality models. If you look closely at the business practices of other brands, Papo has had the worst track record so far of models being announced but never actually made it to production. CollectA and Papo both use a similar strategy of releasing models periodically through the year instead of all at once like Schleich. And as the only big American company around I think they compete with other brands (mostly European) just fine. Please temper your commentary. Schleich is perhaps the worst comparison one can make as they are not anywhere in the same production situation as any other brands. They are the absolute king as far as availability, though many argue the quality isn't always there. But that is not the topic of discussion here.

From the rep on ATF/DTF Safari has made these announcements for 2023 releases recently because they only just got the finalized prototypes back. This member has been kind enough to also share rough estimated updates for when the models will be for sale on their website and they are trickling in. A handful of models come in every few weeks so things are coming around! Things just take time.

I like what Roger said here, but you have to admit, now that 2023 is coming to a close, Schleich, CollectA, and Papo announced their usual volume of figures and all have been released (Papo peppers their releases throughout the year and I think as of now everything is out, but I might be missing an item or two that aren't of personal interest). Schleich and Papo have already announced very typical lineups for 2024 and CollectA is nearly done with theirs.

Safari is defiantly having more of an issue, I hate to admit it. NOW, what that is, i am not sure, and I dare not speculate. I am sure it is NOT mismanagement. They are a smaller operation, which could have something to do with it. Also, it's possible being an American company could play a role (longer shipping times, customs issues, etc. associated with products produced overseas). I am sure Safari is doing their very best, and in the end you know you'll get a great products from them.

EDIT: I forgot, Mojo has been quiet. Have their 2023 items come out? Mojo takes the longest to get to the US so I am not even sure.

Still waiting on the Einiosaurus from Papo... I think that's it though. Haven't seen anything for Mojo for 2024. All their 2023 figures have been released (although I buy them from Australia so not sure if they are in the US yet).


Safari still makes high quality figures and I'm more than happy to wait a bit longer for their models.
