Hahaha, so what? Is this a hint or something? I was just guessing   
*And sins I don't really like the current 'Boto' out there by the major brands, I just hoped this would be a Boto. Freshwater dolphin...

Everyone is getting excited. :'D

I'm not saying it isn't a boto; I'm not saying it is, either.   

That sounds exciting, I'd love a new reindeer. Can't wait to see new pics! Anyone have an idea when they will be revealed?

Whenever Chad here feels comfortable, or whenever Safari gives the green light to reveal new things, I am sure you will see them. But keep patience. We probably have a good 1-2 months before Safari reveals their new items, and before we see them on the shelves of a toy store.

It would be great to see a new Musk ox too...

Aaarhg XD Well, what ever it is, it is a water animal, and I'm happy about that

Oh, there are definitely some aquatic additions that will please collectors. At least one is a species that no other company has produced, at least none of the majors. Kaiyodo may have produced one as part of their Aqualand series from the 90s (not the same as Aquatales), and there is one other Japanese company that has produced one, but if I say the company name, I'd be giving too much away. I've known about a few of the new intros since last year, actually, and I'm glad to see they are really well executed, at least in the photos.

Is there a tropical fish Toob?

Maybe. Maybe not.... have you tried asking Safari directly? This is too specific a question for me to comfortably answer without Safari's greenlight. If they are ready to reveal their 2015 lineup, they'll let you know directly. Debuting new products is a pretty big deal, and they deserve to be the one's to decide when and how to do it. But if you ask them nicely, they may tell you one on one.

Okay, maybe I could email them? I'm not allowed to have FaceBook.

chad, so that's the pirarucu! I curiously I suggested it the only time I posted im their Facebook. i love these river monsters!

So Chad,how well has the Carnegie Collection's new Velociraptor sculpt for 2015 mystery feathered prehistoric come out?
   

I've actually seen pictures and I know that one, and only one, of your predictions is correct so far. It is a spectacular model beyond what I had imagined likely.

Where did you see the picture? Just out of curiosity what kind of animal is it? (mammal, reptile, fish, etc.)

I was sent a mass e-mail advertising for a collectable convention. It is a reptile... sort of.

Could you possibly share these pictures?
We've all been waiting to find out all year. Maybe we could be treated with news a month early?

I'm guessing another ceratopsid will be released  this year. Perhaps nasutoceratops? I also haven't seen any new sauropods recently so camarasaurus or another titanosauriform is possible as there are already two diplodocoids. I have found Safari a very predictible brand at times, but not always.

I talked with one of Safaris Sculptors, and he said Safari is not keen on releasing more Sauropods cuz they think the public is unable to tell them apart   .

He did say that they had him start on a Shunosaurus though, but they kept calling it off. I think that maybe they will finish it for this year

Evolution of the Horse would be fantastic, - with better material and finish that this year's Evolution of Man.

Yes please!

So Doug Watson has a Shunosaurus lii in the works for the Wild Safari line eh?That would be different enough from the recent 2010 Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus to most lay people to warrant it.With luck maybe Safari will eventually release that one,maybe even for 2015!One can hope at least.

Yes,reptiles are very strange looking when they are covered with feathers aren't they?  

Honestly I'm not sure if I should share the photograph (singular). Safari did share them with everyone on their mailing list. does that make it 'okay', or should I wait for an official release?
