My nephew Zack loves to play with toys and pretend his little men are in a magical land. That is why
when I had the opportunity to review a dragon from Safari Ltd, I knew he would be excited.
The box arrived and I barley held my composure to get this review done before he seen it.
The dragon I received was the Glow in the Dark Snow Dragon:
Dragons can be found in any habitat, and this blizzard-white Glow-in-the-Dark Snow Dragon blends in with its icy home. Our Glow-in-the-Dark collection lights up the night, featuring popular creatures with a special paint that allows them to glow for many hours after exposure to light. The replicas are professionally sculpted and hand painted, giving them the realism Safari Ltd® toys are known for.
Here’s Safari Ltd.’s story as told by Ramona and Alexandre M. Pariente:
It seems like only yesterday when my parents, after returning from a trip to Germany, showed me a children’s card game that would be the beginning of Safari Ltd®. Its theme was endangered species. The year was 1979.
A few years later in 1986, we signed the most important license agreement in the company’s history with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. This license allowed us to produce authentic, scale-model dinosaur figures with the collaboration of their paleontologists.
25 years later, children, adult collectors and educators worldwide enjoy purchasing these unique replicas.
As a fascinating side-note, I discovered that some of the original painters in the factory are still painting some of the same Carnegie dinosaurs 25 years later.
This collection has longevity thanks to you!
The founders of Safari Ltd®, my parents and Alexandre’s grandparents, had a passion to share the unique beauty of wildlife with children.
After 3 generations, Safari Ltd® continues to forge ahead with their vision.
For 2012, we are offering an abundant of delightful products that assist in the “joy of play”. Our toys are inspired by nature, fueling the imagination and speaking to the innate curiosity in all of us.
This toy certainly has brought the “play” out in Zack! They are a great way to get him using his imagination!
When we were sent our replica, we were also sent a catalog showing all the replicas they offer. Let me tell you, they’ve got a LOT! That catalog has been one of Zack’s favorite books. He is already picking out things that he wants Santa to bring him for Christmas. It was only a few weeks ago we were walking around Michael’s Craft store and saw some of the replica’s from Safari Ltd. there. Look for them the next time you’re out shopping.
