First Safari 2019 figures revealed!!!

Does anyone know what happened to the new Toobs? I can no longer find them on Safari ltd's website.

It is possible Safari just removed the items that are not yet available. They tend to release figures in waves. They used to have all upcoming releases on their site, with a 'Bag It' under those that are already available. Maybe they just decided to remove those that are not yet available.

I hope they will be back soon. I need the Dolphin and the Primate Toob.

I totally agree

I ordered yesterday a primate tube on spielzeuggünstig. You can order there only what they really have on stock (no subscription or so). They also have the other tubes available, so nothing seems to be wrong, maybe just a bug on Safari's site?

The website is actually missing a lot of their products, new and old. I thought at first they had retired some of the old figures that are missing, but they are still in the 2019 catalog, so it is a website problem. My rep at Safari gave me the release schedule for all the remaining 2019 figures.... According to the schedule he gave me, we should see the Snub-nosed Monkey (which just became "available" on their site today), then the Camarasaurus, then the Albino Burmese Python. Dates and availability of each figure can change, and I don't know if I'm allowed to post the actual schedule, so I won't say anything more about what should be available or when, but most of the TOOBS have not been released yet, at least not in the US.

That´s strange. I wonder why the toobs are available on a German website then?

That is weird. Typically Safari LTD releases in the US first and THEN abroad. I wonder if the listings on the German website is actually a Pre-order instead? I've seen plenty of pre-order listings over the last few years among the major brands.

I've got the primates tube and snubnose yesterday, so no pre-oder, but I agree, that this is unusually early for Germany. The last years I had to wait rather long before I could get the actual Safaris
Btw. the primates are surprisingly small, filling the tube only two third...

Could you please show us some pictures? It's actually the thing I'm most excited about fpr next year!

I actually just checked their website and the snubnose monkey is now available but still no sign of the primates tube. Someone mentioned earlier that its because Safari LTD is temporarily out of stock of some of the 2019 figures. (Looking at Instagram they also put up a post informing of the out of stocks.) Must be very high demand this year!

Btw,is the paint work as good as shown in the stock photos?

Here are my first animal models from 2019 For size comparison there are always some other models. I hope you enjoy it.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, but I only had my smartphone

Thanks for the pictures! I hoped to see some of these modls in a smaller size, too bad this isn't the case.
The sample pictures of the primate toob were definitley too nice to be true, specially the Emperor tamarin looks horrible and I really don't understand why they decided to paint the Howler monkey that strange, does that species actually exists? Anyway, I'm still happy with the figurines, as I was wating for years to see smaller primate modls, hope to see more of their range be rezides and put in toobs.

Thank you Ralf :)

Very useful pictures, Ralf! Interesting that you're showing basically those I am most interested in.
They're larger than desired but enough desirable once they look really great. As I always have to be selective, I think two or three I can live without them. Though, I must get the serval, the clouded leopard, the monkey and the vulture is tempting me either. Honey badger and Tasmanian devil look great but I have to think better about these. Many thanks for your pictures and congratulations for having them.

This could be a Mantled Howler.

It appears to be one

Speaking as someone from the US, I think a more subtle Freedom Griffon would have been better.  It already looks like an eagle, so not much more would need to be done.  In retrospect, maybe this dragon is trying a little too hard.

I love the contents of the Pelagic Fish Toob, particularly the Tuna, Swordfish, and Sailfish.  However, based on the quality of the recent toobs that I've seen, I'm in no hurry to try any new ones.  Hopefully, someone will release full-sized versions soon.

In general, I have found that it's best to get a toob when it first releases; subsequent production seems to really pull back the paint quality (I've seen it in many of the prehistoric toobs, especially the mammal one).

On another note, I recently got my first batch of 2019 models--I am picking and choosing right now, but with a Black Friday sale I had to get most of the ones on my list!

But the pelagic fish toob hasn't released yet, so I will still have something to wait for!

Lots of nice Safari to choose for 2019 and all so early in our friends' collections! The ray looks particularly beautiful!

Congrats, i get my soon. The ray is very large
