Safari 2022 releases... updated with Sahara Desert TOOB

The Crested Gecko is wonderful, though it looks to be a Red Patternless (captive bred morph) Crested Gecko as opposed to a wild crested gecko.

And here is a wild crested gecko.

It’s going to be $13.99 and be 5.5 inches long. I’m still buying it. But it’s a shame that the agama is a repaint of the bearded dragon.

And here’s the Patagotitan

Cost: $29.99
Size: 16 inches
Scale: ~1:60

I think the head is a bit blocky, but I’d rather have it be like this than shrink-rapped. Also for me the cost and size is perfect. Very excited.

Here is the chalk photo from earlier, meaning that the chalks were bigger than previously thought.

Resembles this reconstruction, so there's that.

The Mwanza Flat-Headed Rock Agama[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The only bad thing about the Agama is that it’s a repaint of the Bearded Dragon, but it still looks like the real thing,

I like the lizards

This is certainly going to be a fun year for my collection. Also is the op going to add the new images of the figures to the first post?

Pictures are added to the first post but as far as I know we don't have them all.
It was good if the starters of this kind of topics updated the first post.

Apparently more reveals will happen throughout the year, so I don’t believe we have everything that’s going to be released this year, but we should have images for the figures that we have images for.

That gecko is really nicely done, look how the eyes are beautifully painted!
But much like some CollectA's new horse releases, I can't help but worry it's too good to be true : is this the artist's prototype model photographed, rather than a piece from the production run? It'll be very interesting to see more photos, from retailers or collectors, once the stock arrives in-hand.

Oftentimes Safari figures look better in person than in the white background images but I don’t know how it could be much better than this, as it looks like the real thing.

I agree with Haydn, often Safari's figures look almost exactly like the stock photo or sometimes even better.

That's because Safari actually shares photos of the finished toy, and not a prototype or doctored image!

New image dropped.

Is it just me, or does the skull look better from the back angle from the outside shot than it does from a close up or side view?

I think this is just the angle it is at Haydn. But who knows? Hopedully we can get some new models in hand soon enough.

Also an employee from Safari on a separate forum confirmed that there will be more releases throughout the year, so we have a lot to look forward too.

Sounds good. I hope for an amored Stegosaurus. ^^

I understand. Plus, I do hope for XL models of a red kangaroo, ostrich, and snow leopard.

A major controversy on the Safari Patagotitan is its neck, and while big titanosaurs probably held their necks at a higher posture, that's not to say the Patagotitan didn't or never position its neck like the figure shows. I will do the wise thing and save my final judgment until I have it in hand.

Andy has released a wonderful review of the Patagotitan that he received early from Safari.

Here it is if anyone is interested! I won't be getting this model but I think it is very well done

Thanks Jolie, what a weird feeling. I watched a video about a beautiful Patagotitan and ended with the impression that I should have bought that Safari Diplodocus when it was easily available.

After watching the video I thought the same thing! That diplodocus really is huge and beautiful, but now its hard to find/expensive. I can't wait to get Eofauna's though

Yes, the Eofauna is really beautiful and we already know that it is excellent since it is an Eofauna. It is also easy to see a connection between both models, more than a simple Carnegie thing.

Has anybody the size of the Patagotitan in centimeters?
