Yipppeeeeeee

I so much hope for some completely new sea birds
Puffins and pelicans and pinguins are fine, - but it could be wonderful with f.inst albatrosses, seaguls, oystercatcher or..

Oistercathers? ...probably not...seagulls? very likely! An absolutely gorgeous bird of prey? almost 90%!

That's a downer! Well I gave them suggestions earlier this month on the MBA collection and telling them its dying (as replicas are retiring like the sperm whale adult), I told them to add a Blue Whale (man that would be huge) and a megamouth shark. At least I'm going to look foward to the new Carnegie additions and the new sea critters!

thanks! A deer? Which deer? A updated white tail? Almost surely but i'd loved a mule deer! Any bird is welcome, even from American fauna, maybe a golden eagle? Ah,

Yes, please! I think it's reasonable to have such hope after they released Abaco Barb this year :)

Yes! And could you also tell a few words about them? Their character, how they are in work, etc. I also like ponies.

Oh, that's a great news! I was hoping to see some new birds already in 2011.

And doesn anyone has any information about which models are going to be retired next year? Even a hint anyone? I'm interested in horses, wildlife and sealife.
I'd love to know which models to order by the end of this year

I hope Safari made a updated Wapiti,a magnificent animal. The current one is horribly made and not in size with the human figures

I'm totally agreed with Martien that is a pity that there will be no new prehistoric mammals

Perhaps it is better to put our bet on CollectA when it comes to prehistoric figueres

and MOJO

when they make the next prehistoric mammals as the one they made now,,

than they have a big hit

Martien

In looking at pics of the Mojo Sabre Tooth(And some of their other big cats), personally I don't care for the texture/paint job). So respectfully, I can't agree with having Mojo make more prehistoric mammals.

You're right. Time ago I talk to James from Mojo, and at least one new prehistoric mammal will arrive next year!

I hope very much it is one that the others have not made before

I'm not sure Mojo will bid in prehistoric mammals but I must agree than the smilodon and mammooth are really nice! When we have prehistoric figures we want them accurate as those from museum lines, not artistic representations showing a completly wrong but spectacular figure as it happens with Papo! Ok, they are beautiful but not educational, more related to fantasy lines than museum lines!

Roger, we all know that all figures/figurines are "artistic representations". Are they supposed to be educational? Maybe somewhat educational... Because if so, all the lines have figures/figurines that are inaccurate for the most part then. I'm mean Schleich put's their "cute spin" on their figures, and that's not educational or realistic.
So the body position of the Mojo sabre tooth is fine, all I said was I just don't like the fur texture/paint job.
If they had made the fur of the sabre tooth more like like the style of the Papo lioness, tigers etc. in my opinion, would look better.
I really haven't looked at enough museum sabre tooth cat or woolley mammoth skeletons to know that the figures should look like.
*The only thing I really don't like about the Papo sabre tooth is could have had a little more thickness to it (Little to thin "under fed" looking to me).
My favorite mammoth is the Safari Carnegie adult(bull)mammoth.

you mean this one

yes it's a beauty
