Safari ltd. 2012 figurines

I have to disagree with you. I think the wolf is a great choise for WW, and the bear to

As far as I know, all previous WW has been from african/asian animals, so I think its realy nice to get a european WW to

(And of course, I love wolves )

I don't think it's a european wolf

I like Anna's point of view but the wolf is indeed a North American subspecies as usual in Safari.
I don't remember seeing Safari, even in its wild Safari series, releasing basilar species of the European fauna like a red deer or a red squirrel, for example. But this is natural in a North American brand.
There are some other WW figures out of Africa,, the bornean orangutan, Asian elephant, tigers, polar bear and giant panda for example.

I agree also that I'm glad Safari isn't putting out a lot of new stuff, so that I can catch up a little on the old.
I have the 2012 catalog and on my wishlist for the New Year:

Sable Antelope (or Mojo, whichever turns out best)
Reticulated giraffes
gray squirrel
barn owl
rockhopper penguin
walrus
Gypsy Vanner stallion
and the now discontinued mandarin duck!

oh, and maybe the whitetail deer family :)

Kristie, you must pick both sables! The Mojo's is our choice, a choice of the members of the forum where you also participated, I guess! Also because they are different subspecies. The Mojo's is a giant sable while the Safari is a common sable! :)

Ok, then both it shall be. :)

Maybe but a Baribal and a wolf are unusual species among the more exotic WW.

I think those are only conservative options for a North American brand that lives mainly from the home market. But it is nice that there's a brand working with American fauna since others are relatively repetitive choosing American species. :)
