So did safari fall off the face of the earth? Or are they done revealing? its been about two weeks since the last video and for me the only thing interesting is the bear.

No kidding... Safari Ltd was doing great 2011-2014 and now they're just downgrading year after year... Did they fall off the face of the earth? Is there anything else to reveal? Looks like 2016 will be another inactive year of collecting of Safari Ltd continues to disappoint. I feel like they're just cutting corners now.

2015 was a great Safari Ltd year for Dinosaurs collectors and for Jaguars lovers

And that will continue in 2016 too!

No, they are not.

There will be a WW figure of something made for 2015.
36 different models will be 're-mastered'. I don't know what that means. Most have what seems to be the same stock photo while others have new paint jobs.
And anyone who likes Australian wildlife will not be dissapointed.
I hope I didn't say too much; I'm very pleased with the new figures. They only announced the tip of the iceberg.

You allready know them? You're a lucky guy!
If there is much Australian wildlife I hope that there will be some new kangaroo species, maybe a wombat and a dingo.

My catalogs just came in today. (It beats me as to why they sent me two.)

What they allready send catalogues but don't even say which figures they will release?
Anyway I just can say congratulations and I realy hope they will also show to the "public" these pictures.
And great, a wombat and a new kangaroo!

Actually it isn't quite a kangaroo.
The even more ironic part is that it says most of them were released in September. I guess that's when retailers order them? because I haven't seen these on the shelves yet.

Some of them are already on Amazon--must be special sellers or something, because I still can't eve get the info I would usually have.

A wallaby? Wold be welcome too, if it isn't as big as a red kangaroo
Maybe they mean Spetember 2016? I even haven't seen them on online stores, so maybe it took longer to produce these figures? :sratch:

It specifically says 2015. But at least Safari isn't waiting until April or may like in past years.

Remastering a mold is to make slight changes in a previous mold. They use the exact same mold as a previous figure that obviously is retired and make little changes to improve it. Sometimes the only improvement is the texture but often we can see some small changes.
For example, pelican and toucan seem clearly to be remastered molds. Sometimes it is possible to make obvious changes like Mojö did with their moose, updating the figure to a completely different pose. Though, these changes can never be dramatic. Schleich is the master of remastering. Most of their horses are reused molds, slightly changed on mane, tail and sometimes pose, a new painting and a new breed and it looks a completely new figure.
It, unfortunately, makes me think that the new line of Safari horses is likely composed of remastered molds. Not that I don't like their old molds, I am just really expecting for something really new.
On the other hand, and sorry for such a long comment when some of you know already all news and I am only speculating, maybe it is not a bad idea to reuse the cape buffalo mold removing the grass and birds.

Then I think they wanted to reach more than they could. Sometimes it's better to make suprises than "promisses". But as long as we don't need to wait till November it's ok (yes I'm talking about the production of Mojo). Did your retailer gave you this catalogue or was it Safari itself?

Can you tell us when they will finish? Im very peeved they havent updated with releases again.

I got my Catalog directly from Safari LTD.

I don't know anything about when information will be given out. Usually my catalog comes in the mail after everything's announced.

So... someone should ask them when they are going to finish announcing. I dont have a facebook and if I emailed they either wouldnt answer or I wouldnt get someone who would answer me.

Emilia just posted another 2016 news... an English Bulldog!

What a funny little guy

Great figure. Thats a better picture than the one in the banner that was posted earlier.

Nice dog. ^^

Ohh, I really MUST have one of those bulldogs , - now I hope it is a nice as the photo

Okay, now I've seen everything...There are a lot of remastered products...it's really great to see some older ones redone. One is so new, it almost seems crazy, but maybe they have reasons.

As for toobs...well, at least there are animal ones this year?

I never said that...at least one has been painted differently...and maybe the one bear?

Any news yet? I red on FB that someone got a catalog and a smaller new 2016 catalog with new items.
Anyone here got that catalog???
