The Backside of Vinyls - Kilimanjaro Safaris


Today I'll be looking at the back side of the Kilimanjaro Safari Truck from Park #8. I really like the neat touches on this vinyl! Let's start with the back of the ears. You can see numerous camping equipment on the back of the figure's ears, which represent the many camping supplies piled on top of the truck, ready for your 2 week safari:


Moving on the to back of the body, we see an animal stripe pattern starting on the back of the head and moving all the way down the back of the vinyl. If you look at the picture above, this exact same pattern features on the hood and sides of the truck, as well as above the windshield.

Now looking at the back of the figure's head, we can see the Kilimanjaro Safaris logo, which can also be found on the driver and passenger side doors of the safari truck:


The Kilimanjaro safari trucks are packed with detail! I think Eric Caszatt did a wonderful job of picking up on these details and beautifully and accurately including them on this figure.
