2023 Safari Silky Shark Walkaround With Comparisons

I'm always happy to add a new shark from Safari to my collection, here is the new 2023 silky shark!

Technically not a new species for my collection since I have Safari's TOOB silky shark, but I'm very happy to see it in a larger scale so I consider it a new species

Another beautiful shark by Safari!

Mine came with a small paint chip on the dorsal fin, but it isn't too noticeable. They really nailed that "shark look" on the face, not sure how else to describe it The gradient is really smooth and overall good paint application. The eyes are well done.

This shark costs $7 on their site. Oddly less than the parrot? Safari's pricing seems to be a bit all over lately.

It looks like a splitting image of this I found on Google

And now some comparisons! A "medium" size I'd say in comparison to other sharks. Wasn't really sure what sharks to compare it with so I just did a bunch

With Safari's nurse & bull sharks

Let me know if you would like any other comparisons!

A good catch. Will add the figure in my zoo

The fact that Safari regularly introduces new species of sharks instead of new generations of the same species makes us want to collect all the brand's sharks. I find that particularly interesting even though I don't collect them. However, if it's sharks you're after, start with Safari.
This one is again an interesting species and a very good looking model.

I have all of Safari's sharks (except I'm missing two hammerheads) and they are all wonderful. They have the most variety and in my opinion the best brand for sharks
