You're welcome!  

Hi All,

I have seen that there are two Spider Monkeys from Safari Ltd.
2009 version that ended in 2010 and 2010 version - they have put a 'b' at the end of the new version number.

I was wondering why did they discontinued the 2009 version and made the 2010 version?
I am looking for a Spider monkey and as far as I can see - the size is good for scales 1:18 - 1:22, Am I right?

I have found several places with safari Spider monkey but since the Serial is the same I am not sure what they are offering?
I do like the NEW one - It looks more realistic then the cartoon version of 2009 - Or both are the same?

Thanks,

The first one had bendable tail

Thanks Susanne.

Are both look the same? - I can not tell exactly from the picture in the link you have sent.
I thought that they should look different - I have also found the new version on the site and it looks less Cartoonish then the older version - Or maybe I just wanted it to be that way :)

Are they actually the same?
One last question - Now that I see them next to a human figure - What scale are they? I thought they were 1:22 to 1:18, No?

Yes, except for the poseable tail , the mould is exactly the same :

Sorry, they are so dusty , they have been standing on my desk for ages  

Susanne already replied competently to all and I only want to tell you that the Safari spider monkey is quite a large figure for you.  As you can see on first picture of this page, it is photographed with an 1:20 scale human figure and if it was standing on 2 legs it would be taller than the human. Really huge! No idea about the scale but probably 1:10 scale.
Safari Ltd has two smaller spider monkeys, the Authentics that is cartoonish and harder to find and a much smaller one from their Toobs. This last is another species, cheap production and probably? too small.
I think the human here pictured is 1:40 scale.

Thank you very much Susanne and Roger.
I do like the monkey they look great - even if they are a bit dusty :)

Roger I would have not think about that myself - Thanks for lighten up my understanding of scale. I almost completely forgot that I should have compare it with the human while it stands on two and not on four.

Yes - now I really see that it is BIG for me - thanks Roger.
I think that it should be in the size of the Squirrel Monkey from Sch. No?

Can I get a Spider monkey with 1:18 - 1:22 scale?

Thanks

Spider monkeys are much larger than squirrel monkeys. It is impossible to keep a collection in 1:20 scale when you have animals with differences in size as it is a giraffe and a meerkat. In that scale, for a 25 cm giraffe, you need a 15 mm tall meerkat if standing.
Though, you can keep a good illusion as it happens with Schleich range. To do it you only need a spider monkey somewhat larger than your Schleich squirrel monkey, maybe the Safari Authentics rain forest habitat squirrel monkey has a good size. Though, it is already retired and it is not as good as Wild Safari version.
Below a picture from Miguel with a 1:20 scale human and the Authentics spider monkey.

I am looking for the safari prehistoric figure that was similar to a placerias. I want to purchase it but I cant remember the name of the actual species.

You mean The Scutosaurus?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Almost surely Takama! The other option could be inostrancevia but unlikely.

Yes, that is the figure. Thank you. I could not remember the name. I just ordered one off of Ebay

I haven't seen any real life pics of this model so far.Could omeone post a pic of theirs?Thank you.

That's a 2015 figure, I don't know if any of STS members already have it. Though, I am sure someone will show it when possible.

I hope I will be this one

It's been out since December.

I really want to see the jaguar because I'm going to buy it on internet this weekend but I have some doubts concerning the painting, for the sculpt it looks very cool

Yeah I want some pictures of the jaguar, too. It looks very amazing and the colour seems on the picture more accurate than the one from Schleich. But I also need some comparison photos, cause the jaguar is expensiver than the schleich jaguar, so I must be very sure.

Just arrived; will be available for sale later this afternoon :-)

Too nice :) Thanks for showing it... the moderators have deleated my post where I was asking for some pictures but I don't know why (or it's who has not well seen)
Thanks really good painting ... The next is for me :)

Florian,
Your post in the Safari catalogue 2015 thread, where you ask for Jaguar pictures is still there.
I don't know why you say that it was deleted?  
(Or did you forget where you posted it?)
The Jaguar looks really nice. I think I will get one too.

I was sure I've posted it in the homepage of the section SAFARI LTD
I have probably a beginning of Alzheimer ... Is there a doctor here?

Topic sorted out now
