Safari Ltd Announce New Prehistoric Animal Models for 2021

Safari Ltd have officially announced their new range of prehistoric animal figures for 2021.  The company will be adding models of Daspletosaurus, Baryonyx and a Spinosaurus to their Wild Safari Prehistoric World range and they have extended their Mythical Realms brand by including two armoured dinosaur figures – T. rex and Triceratops.  In 2020, Safari Ltd introduced a total of nine new figures into their Wild Safari Prehistoric World range.

There may be fewer models coming out in 2021, but given the huge difficulties caused by the global pandemic, plus the re-location of the company, Everything Dinosaur would like to pay tribute to all the dedicated and hard-working people at Safari Ltd who have made the introduction of new models possible.

All the models we announce today are scheduled to be in stock in January 2021.

Wild Safari Prehistoric World Models – Daspletosaurus

This striking figure with its green and yellow markings demonstrating the biological concept of counter-shading represents a new tyrannosaurid genus added to the Safari Ltd product portfolio.  It follows on from the tyrannosaurid Qianzhousaurus that was introduced by Safari Ltd this year.

The first Baryonyx model produced by Safari Ltd was under the Carnegie range, this figure came out in 1998, but was retired when this brand was withdrawn in 2014.    This new figure will join Suchomimus and Spinosaurus as representatives of the Spinosauridae within the Wild Safari Prehistoric World portfolio.

On the subject of Spinosaurus…

There will also be a model of a Spinosaurus introduced next year (2021), this figure depicts this iconic dinosaur walking on land, as opposed to the swimming figure that was introduced in 2019.

Not Quite Armoured Dinosaurs

Talk to a palaeontologist about an armoured dinosaur and visions of nodosaurids, polacanthids, stegosaurs and ankylosaurids are conjured up.  However, in 2021 Safari Ltd will be adding a couple of colourful characters to their Mythical Realms range.  Two dinosaurs wearing silver armour will be added.  A T. rex complete with a helmet and an armoured Triceratops dinosaur model.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“These armoured dinosaurs are very imaginative.  They remind team members of some of the dinosaurs that feature in the Dinotopia series of fantasy novels by author and illustrator James Gurney.  These figures will make an exciting addition to the range of Safari Ltd models that we supply.”
