COLLECTA 2018: WILD LIFE - African Civet (88824)

Let me join the joyous chorous :  WOW !!! Hurraaay !!!! WOW !!! Perfect !!! Stumnning !!! Wonderful !!! WOW !!!

I love it

Love at first sight! I'm so happy CollectA is doing all these interesting species that I've always wanted to see in realistic figure form. PV is the only one I've seen do this animal before but this one takes the cake.

Beautiful work!

What a surprise! After many wonderful antelopes, an amazing predator!
Collecta should surprise us more with these kind of animals! And there are many of those!!!!
Wonderful animal!
Wonderful figure!
Wonderful Collecta!
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

NICE! It looks amazing!

If they won't make anything interesting a freshwater-fishy (and they won't) this civet will do! Very cool, and a long time coming.

Now I just need to find someone to get it from.

as a hyena fan I am glad to finally see one of its close cousins(that is not a cat, lol!) in figure form!

Knew you would be impressed Florian!

Indeed ... I just need a bearcat and a fossa for the coming years :)

I agree about the fossa! first time I saw one in a tv special about carnivores I was floored! it looks so much like a small cat, except it isnt a cat! its so archaic looking, like something out of the Paleocene!

and what is a bearcat?

Wow,they are so lovely! Very true to a Civet. I've been having trouble finding the newer CollectA releases on ebay but I would like to get this one eventually if I can.

I ordered the Himalyan Tahr from a seller in Singapore and never got it (the tracking number they gave me didn't even work at all) so I will definitely have to find someone else to order from.

Beautful species and a nice model. Very rare in Zoos, but I've seen Afrcian civets recently in an awul private Animal park. I've seen them for the first time in 2002 at the San Diego Zoo.

Minizoo Australia is one of the best to buy from , shipping is reasonable and the owner Jason is a gem of a person

I was going to say the same thing! Plus, he's a member here!

Nothing new for me but a very interesting choice and a must-have for every collector. For me as a species collector, I´ve already the playvision one :)

Great model and on my wish list!!

Magnificient figure of a not-so-well-known species. Superb.

Same here! But like the PV striped hyena, this one is so much better!

This is fantastic

Donnie I am enjoying the releases of my favorite brand Procon CollectA !! I am happy I made my wish for an African Civit specifically !! I wanted a Civit !! actually we can have a whole TOOB of viverridae species !! these carnivora need more miniatures !! also Mongooses are not represented as much as they need to be !

Except meerkats...everyone has a meerkay (I think) when there are lots of other mongoose species out there. The Play Visions set is still the biggest collection of them, and they could all use some updating!

Wow, fantastic, excellent Bravo Collecta & thanks!

even withe the skunk !! the same critter species is represented over and over again !!! when there are other species of skunks !! It would be educational and so cool for kids as wll as collectors , the scale too would be perfect if a toob was made of small canivora ( like the way COllectA made the prehistoric sea life toob this year )

Me, too, James. Maybe we can ask CollectA to make a Ring-tailed vontsira.

And a Muskox and a Great Auk.

Donny what a splendid choice !! Madagascar has been badly represented until CollectA made the Baobab tree !! That is a fantastic piece of flora !! Which made up for the lack of animals from the island ! The ring tailed lemur being the only flagship of other brands for Madagascar.
My memory is fading and I can't recollect names these days but my books and BBC earth is never far away !! After the Amazon (which has most number of species of fresh water fishes in the world) The most mysterious n beautiful flora and fauna is Madagascar !! The sifaka , bamboo lemur !! Sooo many !! The Malagasy mongoose is a brilliant !!as an educational tool , the Kids can explore the whole region of Madagascar through one unique species !!!
