COLLECTA 2017: WILDLIFE - Siberian Tiger (88789)

So a tiger remake was long overdue and just like the Lion model I did not want CollectA to make any old generic lion but to recreate a specific and more unsuual species.  Choices were South-China Tiger, Sumatran Tiger and Siberian Tiger and the latter was chosen.

I did not realise until now that a white version would also be made: link to here here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Actually Amur and Siberian tiger are the same subespecies. Did you may meant the Amoy tiger? Which is also know as South-chinese tiger?

I'm not very sure what I shold think about it, his coloration is perfect! But I really dislike its neck.

I like the "orange" version colouration, it's very nicely painted!

About the white one, I have never heard about white Siberian tigers, as far as I know this colouration exist only in Bengal tigers or mixes with Bengal tigers.

I think you are right and that it is an oversight on my part.  The coloured model is Siberian Tiger but the White one is just called 'White tiger' on the marketing materials.

And yes I meant South-China (Amoy) tiger, not Amur

Beautiful tiger. ^^

I like this figure. Especially if the final result of the painting work is as in the photo. Let's hope it looks ... Maybe as Bryan says the neck is a bit strange, although it may be this particular image.

Nice tiger

The orange is ok in my opinion, because the siberian tiger is brighter in color than other tigers.

very nice...
are there any toy tiger figures that are specifically either Siberian or Bengals and not just generic tiger?

Kind of like the Schleich one from last year but its a little more detailed. I like it.

For CollectA, it's a disappointment to me. Fat, fat neck, weird head withb nearly no lower jaw (at least from that angle) plus a somehow squirrel-liike headshape.

Siberian tigers are fat and have long fur, because of their cold habitat.

Incredible!

I like the pose, the painting is seriously made for a toy.

I can't tell my point about the head, neck and global thickness because I would need closer pics

Look like more picture needed for compare.

Thank you, Namaan!
