I won't be revealing any specifics from the catalog without Safari's permission. Bearing in mind this was only a preview and not the entire lineup, I saw one new Toob that would be of interest, as well as four new additions to the Wild Safari Prehistoric and Dinosaur Line. They all look fantastic.

Did the preview catalog have pictures of the new figures, or just a list? If there's a picture of the Brachiosaurus, can we see that, since it was already revealed?

Thanks, I've also added Dinostoreus, with the hope their new releases will finally see the light of day.
Most were visible in photos - though there were none of the Carnegies, which are kind of a special, higher level affair - and I won't post any photos without permission, anyway. The paint apps were great, with just enough color to make them pop without sacrificing naturalism.

That T.rex´s leg on the Triceratops back is very daring, I think. Why must everything look like they were oh so agile? Leave that agile combat thing to Protoceratops and Velociraptor.

Dinostoreus is still working on that 1:4 Triceratops skull. There was a post a while ago about their planned releases, but it's slipped my mind. Pretty sure there was some kind of marine reptile planned. At this rate, we might see Sideshow's marine reptile first.

If they are planning one..it would easily be better too I'm sure.

Dan, any idea when Safari will officially reveal their upcoming goodies? I understand you can't reveal stuff (sadly), but I trust you when you say we're in for a good year.

LoL. Had you changed your name to Ramona Pariente, that just might have worked.
Remember guys, that Safari does take a lot of requests from the consumers, and when they find a certain species is in high demand, they definitely base their decision on that. There are definitely species here that I've seen DTFers asking for, and they've been very well crafted.
One of them stands almost no chance of being guessed, though. No figure of the species has been produced yet, to my knowledge.
