This week, two new Wild Safari Prehistoric World models arrived at Everything Dinosaur. The Wild Safari Prehistoric World Therizinosaurus and Saltasaurus are in stock.  It is great to see these new figures arrive at our warehouse and to celebrate their arrival we got creative and produced a short video. In our YouTube short we briefly introduce the figures with Mike and Sue each highlighting a model.

The short video was posted up on the company’s social media pages.  In addition, it was posted onto Everything Dinosaur’s YouTube channel.

Wild Safari Prehistoric World Models

The Wild Safari Prehistoric World range of models is manufactured by Safari Ltd.  It is extremely popular.  However, in the past, this company had two, main ranges of prehistoric animal figures.  Alongside their own figures, models approved by the Carnegie Museum of Natural History were also made. First marketed in 1988, the Carnegie Collectibles range featured a number of iconic dinosaur figures. In addition, this range included many dinosaurs that had only recently been scientifically described. For example, a Concavenator model was introduced in 2013, just three years after the formal scientific description.

After twenty-eight years of partnership and collaboration, it was decided to move on and to terminate the Carnegie Collectibles. As a result, the Wild Safari Prehistoric World range became the mainstay of the company’s prehistoric animal model production efforts. Since then, Safari Ltd have regularly introduced new dinosaur models.

Therizinosaurus and Saltasaurus

The Therizinosaurus and Saltasaurus figures discussed in the YouTube short are new sculpts.  However, Safari Ltd have produced a replica of Saltasaurus before.  There was a Saltasaurus model in the Carnegie Collectibles range, and in 2012 we reviewed it.

We look forward to hearing what dinosaur model fans think of the new Therizinosaurus and Saltasaurus figures.  Furthermore, we would welcome any comments about the new Saltasaurus and how it compares to the Carnegie Collectibles Saltasaurus.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur explained that the Saltasaurus and Therizinosaurus models will join the Estemmenosuchus and Kentrosaurus models that arrived earlier this year.

In addition, he added:

“Safari Ltd are already working on several new figures.  We will do what we can to bring new for 2025 models into stock quickly.”
