DS is going to turn 5 next month and we've gone through a bit of upset already as he really wanted a party like lots of his school friends already had this school year.
Overall he has been very good about it and is being really sensible.

He really wants "safari men" basically 3/4" inch figures of people dressed up as explorers/safari or from Jurassic park films. He has had 2 from a Christmas gift 2 years ago which came with one of those all terrain safari cars and it's been his favourite toy ever. They have now been worn to death/ fixed multiple times but still played with every single day.
He's not fussed about the cars etc that come in sets he just loves the figures. I've tried looking online but for some reason it's not really bringing anything up.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?
I would really appreciate it.

Is it playmobile type figures - some here and on eBay www.playmobil.co.uk/onlineshop/products/wild-life#

Or the more realistic figures?

Have you tried the online gift shops, like Longleat or London Zoo?

Would he like Lego? There are lots of Jurassic park/world Lego sets that some with dinosaurs and figures from the films. You can then build on the sets in the future.

I just bought a load of farm ones from eBay. Would any of these do?

I searched for 'farmer toy'

AintOverUntilTheCatLadySings · 14/04/2020 11:42

They had a few marked 'ranger toy' too

Rancher, not ranger

Thanks some good ones there. It's not playmobil.
I've attached picture for reference - this is the all time favourite as you can see has had its fair bit of play.
The other is currently in recovery after having to have its leg superglued back on (in similar condition to the attached one Grin)
He absolutely loves them to bits and takes them with him every time we go for a walk.

Searching for “Jumanji toy” might get you something as well, think the Jack Black character is dressed as a Safari person isn’t he?

Dippitydoodle · 14/04/2020 12:39

We've got similar but they're characters from the newer films.
Search for Mattel jurrasic world toy people an there's a few that come up. Robert Muldoon and Wheatly are dressed most like 'safari men.'
We found ours for fairly cheap in Home Bargains.
