Safari 2011

[bokisaurus]

Well, here we are, at the end of the new release season
Theres always a bit of sadness when all the new releases are finally out and on the racetrack.
I just got the Carnegie Carnotaurus yesterday. It's a beautiful piece for sure, the best toy of the species out. The paint and colors are nicely combined, in fact its perhaps the best color scheme they have come up with in a while, IMHO
With that arrival, my quest for all of Safari's 2011 offerings comes to a close.
It's been a nice season for Safari, finally, they have ventured into the more riskier territory by releasing some obscure and never before offered species.
It would be nice if they continue to do so in the future. The quality of the figures are all wonderful. They have continued to produce top quality toy models. Now, if they could just get away from those tripod poses... and perhaps time to retire the color pallet and move on to something different. It's been a few years now since they started the Olive/Brown combo ;D
Anyway, looking back, here they are, the 2011 Safari figures (okay, there are more toob figures out, but nothing that I will be getting soon)

The newest addition, Carnegie CArnotaurus!

Oh so tiny arms! ;D

Stunning figures!

Beautiful paint jobs - but I would be careful saying 'move over Battat' Carnotaurus - first off the scale is different; at 1/30 more detail is naturally possible - secondly the Battat pose is better - thirdly the teeth on the new Carnegie Carnotaurus look like one solid mass with indentations - very disappointing - at this scale they should have been able to have nice individual teeth - lastly the jaws are too curved; a fairly shocking shortcoming for a figure otherwise nicely done ...

OTOH, the Miragaia is probably the best figure Carnegie has ever produced, Kaprosuchus, TRex and Anatotitan are the best figures Wild Safari has ever done, and the trees are a delicious addition - I bought 3 of each, to add "flavor" to the sheves ...
