Toobs you'd like to see

Well, I was looking at my Big cats toob - and y'know, it could do with an update. Some of the models look really old-timey, and not in a good way, and the paintjobs are decidedly sub-par.
That got me thinking: What toobs would you like to see redone? How about the huge gaps in the existing line?

Here are some of my ideas:
* Birds of prey. Contents: Various eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, and of course vultures... and a secretarybird!
* Bears. They already have black, brown, and polar bears in other sets - never mind an entire toob of nothing but pandas - but there still isn't a separate bear-lovers' toob.
* Wild dogs - all the classics: Wolf, coyote, jackal, dingo, several fox species, African wild dog...
* Mustelidae: Ferrets, wolverines, weasels, and everything in between
* Ungulates: Deer, antelopes, giraffes...


Please note: I'm in no way affiliated with Safari (not even facebook friends), so I have zero power wrt doing anything about this... but hey, maybe someone there browses the forum occasionally?

I would love to see a saparare bear toob and a wild dog toob too. Maybe also a rodents and lagomorphs toob.
P.s. Can someone upload a photo the domastic cat toob?(of the cats, not the toob itself )

Your ideas are very good, i would like all. And too much more with unusual species.

I would love a fox toob - with Tibetan sand fox, Fennec fox, Corsac fox, Pale fox, Swift fox, Rüppell's fox, Kit fox, Cape fox and Blanford's fox

Would like to see the following

Cattle breeds
Small wild cats
Rodents
Wildfowl
Chickens and ducks
Wild Sheep and Goats
Deer
Antelope

All that sounds phantastic!!

Oh yes, lemurs of course!

Honestly, the more I look at that big cats toob the more it annoys me. The thing is, several of these models would be Kaiyodo-level good if painted well - those MiniMe VW Jaguars, and that leopard-that-looks-nothing-like-one which would make an awesome clouded leopard... Well, I'll just have to repaint them myself.

Yes! Yes!!!!

I would SO much love to see that

An updated Monkey tube, with more detailed versions!

In my dreams, I'd like to see a Meerkat Toob. All the meerkats will have different poses.

Moo cows!!!!! :)

I would love to see all that toobs

I would love those toobs have PLAYVISIONS or YUJIN quality level

I just now came up with the idea of an "evolution series" toob. If you don't get what I mean, they could pick a type of animal and give it a toob with all of it's ancestors. I'm sure horse-enthusiasts would get a kick out of an 'Equids through the ages' toob, complete with Eohippus.

YESSS !!!!
A serie " Evolution of the horse" would be ... just WOW

But, - NOT a toob, and NOT by Safari. ( their paintwork !!!! )

Better by CollectA, preferably by their dino artists, NOT McDermott
Or perhaps Bullyland, made by Isabell Werth . She makes beautyful, sober horses.
OR - why not Mojo and Ana ?

I'm not crazy about Safari's Toobs for the most part because creating such small animal figures means a lack of detail. I want their skull Toobs really.

Collecta & Bullyland's paintwork isn't impressive to me and there are probably very few figures in those 2 lines that I actually want, but to be fair, I don't collect horses so I don't know - maybe their horses look better than their dinosaurs or other animal figures.

I wanted that too but unfortunately it will be not possible for 2013 I will keep proposing it year by year so maybe one day Mojo will agree And I must keep talking about musk ox family also
