Safari Ltd 2025 wishes and predictions

There's a shortage of bird of prey in toy form. Apart from the bald eagle, the peregrine falcon, the Andean condor, the harpy eagle and some New and Old World vulture, collectors have nothing to get their teeth into, in terms of accipitriformes.

Safari Ltd is the most appropriate brand to release models of raptors in its 'Wings of the World' collection...

Here are a few examples of figures I'd like to see:

-Golden eagle
-Osprey
-Bearded Vulture
-Cireneous vulture
-White-tailed eagle
-African fish eagle
-Crowned eagle
-Eurasian goshawk
-European sparrowhawk
-Black (or red) kite
-Steller's sea eagle
-Common buzzard
-California condor
-Gyrfalcon
-Rüppell's vulture
-Egyptian vulture
-Short-toed snake eagle

Being an American company, Safari Ltd is more likely to prioritize on New World species. But Africa and Eurasia have a lot to offer in matters of raptors

Safari actually already made a California condor. It is a beautiful model! Unfortunately it is now retired and hard to find. There are quite a few nice Steller's Sea eagles and golden eagles out there too. Bullyland has a bearded vulture but I'd LOVE to see Papo make one.

As for the osprey, I've been wanting Safari to make one for years! I think it would be a very appropriate choice

I have some other species you mentioned too if you want to take a look at my Accipitriformes

What a nice collection, Jolie !

A few years ago (2017-18) Italian brand DeAgostini sold rubber falcons, eagles, hawks, vultures and owls in lucky bags.

I remember I sometimes bought some birds of prey, but also crocodilians and chameleons. Some of them were even glowing in the dark. I still have a few of them

Other animals were sold, like several species of slimy scorpions, bats or other critters...

Ooh I would love to see them make a bearded vulture!

We have already a 2025 wishlist.

My main wish is that they (further) improve the quality of their TOOBs so that they become more similar in quality to the standard-sized models.

Yes, I merged them. This kind of topic pops up a lot and people usually forget to check if there is one or at least a similar one. I know wishes and predictions are not the same but they can live along in the same discussion topic.

It's just here on top since I merged the topics.

From Safari, I would specifically like to see:

Any Paradise bird species
Any Nightjar Species
American Kestrel
Himalayan Toob with Yak, Snow Leopard, Chiru and Tibetan Blue bear

That's all what I can think of when it comes to Safari, likely because of their administration changes affecting releases (that's what I've heard of)...

We need more lemurs made like aye aye mouse lemur Sifkata maybe some very rare species
Like the crowned Lemur brown lemur dwarf lemur

I agree also they need to make toobs with more overlooked species I got examples
Like
Ethiopian toob
Swyanes hartebeest
Ethiopian wolf
Gelada baboon
Sacred baboon
Golden gopher
Wallia Ibex
Mountain nyala
Blue winged goose
Wattled ibis
Hyrax

My main wish is that Safari protects the models in their toobs better so that they don't scratch each other. In almost every toob that I bought in the last few years, some models were damaged. It should be possible to put something between them so that this doesn't happen.
