Paint layers are a fine sacrifice if it helps Safari compete with Procon and (bleh) Schleich. The Coelacanth looks fantastic despite only a few paint steps. The Rhamp doesn't actually need its two toning - it would look fine just black and red. The Kent could likely use colored plates and black spines, but it still looks good as is. Can't wait to see the toobs ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) (With Coelacanth and Dunkleosteus, perhaps "Prehistoric Fish"? naah...)

Oh right, the toobs! Hope they're decently detailed. I'd like to use them as babies! ;D

The toobs might be the most exciting thing Safari has this year, aside from the new Carnegies. You probably wouldn't even know they were toobs, if you saw them. They look that good. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Rhamphorhynchus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D ;D Deanm is one happy dude! I will also be picking up a coelocanth. Both figures look great!! It's great to see one of the rhamphorhynchoids being done instead of the standard pterodactyloids. Happy, happy, joy, joy...

I'm kind of with you, in that I see the Procon-ness, and yet they are still pretty clearly Safari. And thankfully nothing like Schleich (man, I used to love that company--except their dinosaurs, mind you).

I have butterflies in my stomach thinking about these new toobs! Expecially if they look good next to kaiyodos. So, they are much better than the carnivorous dinosaur toob then, right? Because that's probably one of safari's best prehistoric toobs, aside from the mammal one.

Wow I looove these species. I'm not a big fan of the fishy but thats personal preference. As for the other two well...I'm very thrilled.
I was hoping one of the dinosaurs would be a kentro. It about time we got another stegosaur. Its 5" so would that be about 1/40 scale or smaller?
I'm also really glad they finally made a rhampheryncoid. I would have preferred a Dimorphodon (my fav pterosaur) but this guy is just fine I still love it.
Can't wait to see what else is in store.

Now you've all got me hoping for toobs full of tiny Greg Wenzel sculpts. Oh how I love my old Protoceratops...

But they will make very good figures in a Kaiyodo collection. That's OK, I also like to use smaller adult versions for figures in the distance, to create some depth perception. I have most of my collection set up in different dios of sorts. ;D

Maybe we'll get lucky and one of the toobs will be Prehistoric Fish ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) (honestly though, "Prehistoric Marine Life" would likely work very well - do mini Tylosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, dunkleosteus, coelacanth, then add a few more reptiles and fish to taste ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cheesy.png)

Amphibians would be awesome, but I'm just not sure if Safari would do a toob of them.
And yes, an Orthacanthus would rock - it's easily one of the coolest sharks that ever lived.

I think safari would be more likely to do a toob of amphibs that fishes, IT seems as though reptiles/amphibians are more popular than fish. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) And along with the orthacanthus, there would be helicoprion, cephalaspis, eusthenopteron, dunkleosteus, little coelacanth... ;D *Sigh* just a pipe dream I'm sure...
