Prehistoric, Revolutionary, Turtle And Green Bean



The Jurassic Park movies showed just how large and dangerous ancient dinosaurs were.  The T-Rex, Raptors, etc. were formidable predators. But, the real monsters of the Dinosaur era were not the land creatures but the dinosaurs, fish and sea life living during that period.

Safari Ltd.’s Prehistoric Sea Life poster shows just how formidable and huge the sea life was during the Prehistoric Dinosaur era.  Just take a look at the 50 foot Mosasaur, the 53 foot Leedsichthys, the 75 foot Shonisaurus Sikanniensis and the other large (and I do mean LARGE), sea life.  Kind of makes you want to stay out of the ocean.

The American Revolutionary War is responsible for the birth of the United States.  British and Continental Army soldiers fought long and hard for their respective causes and many good men died on the battlefield.

Two new Toobs have been released by Safari Ltd. that include small figures from both armies.  Figures are expertly sculpted, stand about two inches tall and feature bright colorful uniforms painted to the smallest detail.  Figure sculpting is crisp and sharp and paint application is tight with no rough edges or bleed over.  

Just take a look at the detail of the flag carriers and especially George Washington.  
  
Revolutionary War buffs will love these new figures that make recreating battle scenes look realistic.  For years reenactment collectors choose lead figures for battle scene dioramas.  Safari  Ltd.’s figures easily match or surpass their detail.

Safariology has two new science kits that include the Life Cycle Of A Green Bean Plant that includes four stages sculpted in 3D.  They are Seed, two stages of Germination, and Seedling. 
The Life Cycle Of A Green Sea Turtle also has four stage and they are: Sea Turtle Eggs, Sea Turtle Hatchling, Juvenile Sea Turtle and Adult Sea Turtle.

The detail and accuracy of both sets is impressive with precise sculpting and spot on color application.
