A bunch of retired safari, last from 2011

Here are the wonderful old safari I bought from "buaknallen", as I posted in another topic.

I love the old style of safari, especially their farm animals. not always very accurat, and sometimes not even goodlooking, but oh, soo charming

an old jersey with calf. Very charming from the side, but very wierd-looking from the front

A realy cool sheep family. I love these, they have a kind of an old feeling about them, and they feel more real than many of the newer, all white sheep (like the schleich ones)

The Vanishing Wild polar bear family. The mother and baby are made of what seems to be the regular plastic that safari uses, but the standing male is made of a much softer material, more like rubber

The two authentic-sets.
What is the differens between the old and new versions of this serie? only the color? And when was the newer version produced? Is it still produced?

The wonderful Monterey bay. You cant see it in the pic, but the hammerhead and the grey whale calf has the most wonderful colors. They are painted in a way that you dont see now aday, and they looks truly amazing I hope I can find the rest of the serie one day

And lastly, the carnegie Australopithecus man. I dont realy collect humans, and I´m thinking about maybe trading this one, but I havent decided yet.

Thants all of them Enjoy

:) :)


This group of animals is hard to find.

What important additions...¡

Again,great new additions to your collection!

More phantastic animals!!!More congratulations!!

Anna you've found some great figurines! Congratulations

As I already told in other topics, I really enjoy seeing Safari retired figures! :) Maybe because we find easily pictures of old Schleich and not about old Safari. It means that these are probably rarer and hard to find, only the brand is less known in Europe. :)
Congratulations for your new additions!

They are all lovely! Where did you find those cute otters?

Aaaaarw, they are all fabulous

I fully agree, the old ones are wonderfully charming, I don`t have any, unfortunately

Those farm animals are the most lovely models I have seen for a lobg time, - also from the front

Thanx guys

@Roger: Yes, I also rarely see old safari. And one problem is, that when you finaly find some, sometimes you dont recognise them as safari and dont buy them. The cows and sheep I have never seen befor, and I didnt know they were safari for sure until I got them.
With schleich it´s different, as you have seen almost every schleich ever produced, eather here or in the gasher, so it´s easier to find them when you know how they look like.

@Wildheart; At the same place where I found the rest, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] They send to most countries, but I think the shipping is pretty expensive

@Susanne; Yes they have a special charm But I still think the jerseys looks best from the side

Congrats Anna!

Congrats on getting the older models.I got quite a few of these older models in the early nineties when in the U.S.A. and still think they are great!I also have the Jersey cow and calf but have the bull as well.They also did they same models as Freisians both black/white and red/white.I have the Clydesdale family and also an Appaloosa mare and foal and a Standardbred mare and foal.I also have some Chester White and Hampshire pigs and also the sheep.The Vanishing Wildlife series that I have are the polar bears,wolves,Siberian Tigers,Mountain Zebras and Snow Leopards.All are really great.

That squid is soooo cute!

Ooh, I like the expression on the standing Polar Bear's face.
