- Hi all
Does everyone want models exactly like Schleich with all animals just standing still with head held high?
On one side we have those who complain that Schleich just makes standing lifeless poses and then another who disagree with any model sculpted in a way that deviates from the Schleich norm so what would some of you like in future? Unfortunately most of the wildlife range of 2013 consist of models doing something and very few static poses but if collectors would like CollectA to revert to the Schleich 'static head held high' positions then I can see what can be done about this. Just let me know
I have come to realise that you can never please everyone all of the time and at the same time. Numaan, I agree with almost everything although I don't understand from where these comments come. I have red all comments before yours and I don't see any criticism about unusual poses. Most love it actually. I am one of the few that makes reference to the pose and I am saying it is a good idea only the wrong pose to the wrong animal but it is merely an opinion. I appreciate your effort with the brand to give us the best and I also feel the same when a figure where I gave my best to please everyone is criticized. But it always will happen. I remember reacting to a negative comment on Mojo sable project and although I still don't understand, my reaction was not neccessary. About poses, of course we want unusual poses, in my point of view, mainly to common creatures. Unusual species usually don't need unusual poses, walking or standing can work very well. CollectA shouldn't make them all standing looking to one of the sides as Schleich does, I don't want 20 cows standing looking right or left to see the new farmer arriving with his new tractor. Though, it doesn't hurt me that 2014 wild ass is standing unexpressively, that the waterbuck is in a typical Schleich pose. These are unusual species, any regular pose will fit very well. A barbary sheep is a spectacular creature and the best pose to see all its glamour is standing like CollectA markhor. Though, I am truly happy that CollectA is making a new zebra in an unusual pose, probably walking or running. I don't like that Mojo made a new zebra standing in allert pose, what saves clearly the figure is that it is superiorly sculpted. Zebras are a lot and it is good to diversify their poses. I hope you understand now. There are a lot of excitment with CollectA, you know it . And a forum is more a place of discussion where everyone is allowed to give opinions as long as it is not ofensive. Keep your work we're enjoying it. |

| Thanks for pictures, Numaan! The pose really detracts a little the sumptuousness of this animal but much better like that than the silly pose of that Ibex! Haha, I love it upside down! |
