"This month Safari Ltd excited us all by announcing a bumper lineup of 13 new prehistoric creatures scheduled for release over the coming months. Feathers play a key part of the story with five of the new dinosaurs sporting up-to-date plumage, including some very familiar species. Close observers have also pointed out a notable overlap with species previously portrayed by Safari Ltd in their recently discontinued Carnegie Collection. This suggests that the company is intentionally replacing those familiar figures with completely new versions for their Wild Safari line. We will leave the detailed analysis for the individual figure reviews when the models are released over the coming months. In the meantime, here's a summary of what we can look forward to from Safari Ltd for 2017…"

They make some fantastic figures which can be pressed into service for gaming purposes, mostly fantasy and pre-historic. I've used some small lizards they produce, as mounts for Lizardmen cavalry. Only thing I did was apply The Dip, and base them (of course I also mounted the Lizardmen figures onto them…). Love their stuff! Their Dragon toys blow most gaming dragon figures away: they're less money, and they come fully painted for the same price (though some need to be re-painted for gaming purposes)! Cheers! |

A lot of great figures in the 2016. The feathered "raptor" and T rex are great. One miss: Why would you put tiger stripes on a Tylosaurus?

I also wonder how these will scale to 28mm human figures. Obviously the smaller dinosaurs will be too large. But in the past Safari dinosaurs have usually come closest out of all the toy lines for being the right size for 28mm gaming. |
