Today I got the last few 2022 figures from Safari that I wanted, the okapi & Saharan desert Toob!

Here is a walkaround of the okapi,

Okapis are some of my favorite animals, so I had to pick up a new one from Safari when I heard about it Very Happy

I really like this model and think Safari did a nice job on it. I particularly love the smooth gradient and the face is better than their original okapi.

I wish the legs were a bit thinner and longer, but this is a common problem with many ungulates so I'm not too bothered by it.

I think the face is painted very nicely although I'm unhappy with the eyes, I might try to repaint them.

It is hard to see, but it is marked 2022

And now for some comparisons with my other okapis! I do really like this model, but if you are looking for just one okapi for your collection, I think there are better options. Hopefully these comparisons will help!

With the old Safari (mine has been through a lot of wear, it was one of my favorites when I was little)

Perfect walk around, Jolie! Very Happy
Safari was needing a new okapi at this scale but my opinion is already written in this topic.
"I do really like this model, but if you are looking for just one okapi for your collection, I think there are better options."
You have a beautiful collection of okapis, I think you're only missing the Bullyland models, they're slightly larger but they work nicely next to these.

A very nice model but I don't see a need to replace the CollectA one I have (but if I was starting from scratch today, this might be the one I got!).

I'd love to find the Bullyland adult and baby I love you

I can't say that any of the okapi figures on the market really call to me as being a perfect representative. The CollectA is my favorite of the available ones, but it is still missing a certain...something. Very nice walk around!

It seems I agree with you and Rogerio and... It's a nice model but I will stay with the CollectA male and Schleich female.

Thank you for the walkaround Jolie Very Happy
