CollectA and Schleich size comparisons!

Due to the growing interest around CollectA figures and after some requests of size comparisons with the widely available Schleich, I decided to make a compilation of some comparison pictures that we can find on forum.
CollectA horse figures have their comparison with Schleich in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] already. :)
As long as more pictures are found topic will be updated and further contributions to this topic are appreciated.

Great idea Roger! This is very helpful

Indeed very helpful

This is a brilliant idea, Roger! Thanks!

Good idea

Good work Roger

I've always found that size models is similar between Schleich and CollectA, except the okapi for example : I have the Schleich model and I find it too big compared with Schleich african elephant.
The CollectA okapi has a more realistic size (one head smaller as you can see).
The size difference is much more important between these two brands and Papo, about 25-30 %.
So it's difficult for me to add Papo models to my collection because of their bigger size.

Thanks for your comments, I am glad this topic is helpful!

The question about sizes is a myth, the differences between Schleich and CollectA are less relevant than the differences between some animals of the same company. You're giving a good example, Schleich elephant is ridiculously small when compared with Schleich okapi, the same happens when you compare both figures from Papo or CollectA. You're again right about okapi better proportions on CollectA's figure, actually, their difference in size is not dramatic and it could easily happen in real life, the problem is indeed the big head of Schleich's figure that makes it look more toyish.
My major brand okapi is the Papo that works nicely with those from other brands, my 2nd favorite is CollectA, there's an interesting discussion [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] :)
About Papo, they're in average larger, that's a fact, maybe it is a good idea that I open a similar topic comparing Papo and Schleich?

Yes, this makes a useful assortment of pictures all in one place. That springbok seems to shrink every time I see a picture of it! It is a very delicate figure...

Great thread, extremely useful, thank you Roger!

What a fantastic detective work you did, - Hurrayy for the most brilliant croc

VERY interesting

Can't we make these Stickies? And can we add more photos to these topics??

More photos? Of course! Everyone can add more photos and they'll be added to the first post. Even other pictures on forum that are not listed here are very welcome.

Thank you my lord

Hi,

Can anyone take a comparison picture of :
- the newer Schleich American bison next to CollectA one
- CollectA new African leopard next to a Schleich big cat (a lion for example)
- CollectA new sloth next to the Schleich one
- CollectA new Komodo dragon next to Schleich last one
- CollectA new puffin next to the Schleich one
- CollectA Grevy's zebra next to a Scleich one
- Schleich newer mountain goat next to CollectA ones

Thanks

I would love to see the African Penguins in comparison as I wrote in a different thread..
Also, the Collecta female chimpanzee with Schleich's current male if possible.

RtasVadumee, the 2020 collecta figures that you mentioned above are not going to be released before June..

Ah... I didn't know.

Here is the Schleich African penguin next to Collecta Gentoo and Rockhopper, I don't know if it can help you...

I believe the goal is too know the size of the CollectA African penguin instead of the Schleich African penguin.
Not many people here have the CollectA figure and I also only have the Schleich, it arrived first and it is much easier to find. Though, according with online sources, the Schleich figure is 51 mm tall while the CollectA is 58 mm tall, considering, obviously, that these sources are trusteable.

Well, my goal is to see one next to the other to decide which one I'll buy, not so much for their size. I've seen both figures in different shops and I was not able to decide. Lately I'm thinking more the collecta one, it also costs a bit less. Not a big deal though, both are good. Thank you both!

Here are the mountain goats and Zebras
I mainly have the CollectAs of rare species, and Schleich does not have many of those.

Thank you Susanne !

I also mostly have rare species from CollectA but now I have almost all of them, I am planning to get some more common species to complete my collection. However I need to make sure they look good next to my Schleich/Papo (and it's not only a matter of size).

What do you think about Grevy's zebra ? I know it is the largerst zebra but isn't it a bit too large ?
