Questions about Safari Ltd

Do somebody know if the safari orca is the same mould than the papo one?

No, the Papo orca is much bigger and made of harder plastic. The Safari one is smaller and more flexible, but both are good figures.

Thank you Andy?
have you got both? have any pictures of them together?

I don't have both, but I have seen the Safari one many times

I bought from Ebay these old gorillas and chimpanzees , but they have an unnatural pose . Are complementary to something , like tree? Missing pieces?

We really, really should go together a lot of collectors and make a Safari-site !
It could be great if we could use the toy-wiki !

Look, this is all it says [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] that is too bad !!!

We need a Safari-expert with a lot of time to be the stakeholder, - I don`t know enough about Safari

I Brought these and they were Advertised Papo
but the long horn looks like the full brown Safari one ??

Only brought it for the 2 bulls.. don't know what i'm going to do the the other 2 lol

Ohh, I surely understand that you wanted those two Safari bulls

That spotted Texan Bull is SO much on my wishlist, too
The other Safari bull looks much more dark that the recently retired one, - they are usually yellow

CONGRATULATIONS

Thought they were Safari Bulls Not Papo Silly people not knowing what they were.
I Payed $20 AU For All 4 of them. they Will hopefully turn up soon

That spotted one looks like the retired Safari Farm figure Spotted Longhorn Bull, 238829. Here's a pic:

The other resembles another retired Safari Farm figure, the Jersey Bull, but yours seems darker. Perhaps checking the belly on your figure will reveal a title? Safari generally marks their figures on the underside (but not always!). Here's an image of Safari's retired Jersey Bull for reference. Safari often has different paint schemes (especially on older figures) without changing the model numbers, so it may be that I have a pic of a lighter paint scheme, and your figure could simply be a darker paint scheme from a different year.

Thank you both :)
I Will have a look at him belly tomorrow and see what i find

I could use some help from fellow collectors who have both Safari and Schleich (or Papo) horses.

I'm considering buying some Safari models, but I'm baffled because according to the description their size sounds a lot bigger than Schleichs.

I do have some old Safari horses in my collection but they are boxed up and I have no access to them at the moment. But I remember they were actually smaller than their Schleich/Papo counterparts.

Could anybody tell me if recent Safari models, in particular the Welsh pony and Rocky Mountain pony are compatible with Schleich and Papo models?
Thanks!

I just got the beautyful Rocky Mountain horse a few weeks ago

Let me know which Schleich and Papos you want to compare it with, - I will be thrilled to take a picture of my new treasure

Cool! Congrats Susanne. Any Schleich horse would do, I have them all so I can figure out the size by comparison. Or maybe another pony or small horse like the Icelandic?

Thanks in advance!

Here you are

Rocky is a tiny bit smaller over the rump.

Isn`t he BEAUTYFUL ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

He's such a beauty!

I'm definitely going to add him to my herd. Thanks so much for the kind help!

Any ideas about the size of the Welsh pony? I suspect it was part of a different Safari line, I think the Winner's Circle line - it might be bigger than the Rocky Mountain pony.

Rocky is also a Winners Circle...I think they fit together

The now retired Blue Ribbons horses were much larger, I think.

It makes sense! Thanks so much for all the help :) :)

Adding some more information to Susanne's contribution. Blue Ribbon horses are in Classic scale 1:12, like new larger CollectA and Breyer classic.
Winners Circle are roughly in 1:24 scale what means that they can be somewhat smaller than Schleich.
I've found this information here!

Excellent, that's very useful to know. Thanks!

I have a comparison photo of two Safari Friesians with Collecta one (no Schleich, sorry):

Schleich Friesian would be somewhere in between Collecta and small Safari.

Hmmm, I didn't know Safari makes such small horses. If you compare them to their grey squirrel, that's kinda spooky!
