Safari Ltd Authentics Dinosaurs

Many of us know the old, 6 stocky little dinoes that were made by Safari and which were also sold by Schleich in 1993, packed in a little, clear plastic box with all 6 in it .
They were made for several years and can be found in many variations of painting, and some variation of size.

Later Safari made 12 more Authentics dinoes, now a bit more elegant.
All 18 were sold in the green "habitat" boxes with 6 in each, and also separately, from boxes of loose models.
There were also sold under the name "Carnegie Mini Dinoes" in blister packs with 3 in each, at least the later ones as far as I know.

As the later ones weren`t made for nearly as long as the first 6, they are harder to find, and I have been looking for them in vain.
BUT ! This week Beatrice came to the rescue, and was so generous and kind to let me get the 13 models that she had
THANKYOU, dear Beatrice !!!

Perhaps these models are somewhat primitive, compared to large models, but I love them.
A great way for children and Sussnes to begin learning the names of some of the most common dinoes !!!

Thankyou again to Beatrice for these cuties !

Big congratulations for you Susanne and a big hurray for Beatrice

congrats

Thankyou, dear Paige, - yes ! Hurray for Beatrice (o)):

I love animals of the past, 
because they are the base of the beautiful animals that now we collect.

You have one treasure. Susanne.(o)):

Congrats Beatrice too.

They are lovely Susanne! It is very nice from Beatrice and I wish you good luck with the missing iguanodon.

A wonderful collection!
I love the Safari Authentics, especially their expressions. That stubby tailed Brachiosaurus is too funny!
I really like the vintage Plesiosaurus, but for some reason I'd have to call the Stegosaurus my favorite.

Congratulation Susanne, those models were funny and weird but the Protoceratops is the true gem (o)):

Congrats on the models!I have the newer set and both it and the older set are just PURE SAFARI!

I agree with Christophe: That protoceratops is just wonderful!

Nearly the only Authentics I have are the series 2 and 3 dinosaurs.

They are very special to me in part because of where I bought them

Here is a closer image of the one you still miss Susanne. Unfortunately I only have the one so he must stay with his friends. He looks a bit embarrassed about being caught outside his box.

These are very nifty! The Styracosaurus and Protoceratops are indeed quite good.

  yes, nifty is a good description  

Ohh, Tim !
Such gems you have there  

Thankyou for the picture of the shy, little iguanodon !
I found one in an e-store in USA, almost a month ago, but I haven`t got him yet...I hope the parcel isn`t lost

YESSSSS !!!  

I also got the shy, little iguanodon

Isn`t he cute ?

Isn't it an equine gait? I didn't know it was invented by crazy dinosaurs! Congratulations, I don't know how to call that design!

  It`s Igu-gait    

Congrats

Great to see he has arrived at last!

Thanks, guys  

Yes, it is such a nuissance to be missing ONE little critter .

Now I just miss the Authentics butterflies  
But it is fine to have something to search for
