Name: Acorn
Breed: Paint Horse
Gender: Gelding
Notes: Collecta's paint jobs have improved so much, and I am here for it.

I really like all these horses. That Appalloosa mold already received a good number of colors if I'm not wrong. I like the long legs and the proportions. I think it was a good decision from CollectA to go for a different design style when compared to other brands. Revisiting these days the earlier horse releases, it feels like we are talking about two different brands. We could even call the earlier models as the Procon generation.

Name: Prada
Breed: Thoroughbred

Name: Aurora

Name: Achilles
Breed: Idk. He's just described as a warmblood so that's what he'll be until I can think of an actual breed for him.
Gender: Stallion
Notes: Why do we not have more cantering/galloping warmblood molds in this scale?

Gender: Filly
Notes: This is one of the only CollectA foals that I like.

Okay, first Southlands, and then some more Schleich that I found that I forgot about, and then on to repaints.

It's mouth is shaped like that because it's supposed to be holding a jolly ball.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
But yes it does look weird when the ball is removed.

I love that Southlands foal, I even think it is the nicest foal figure I know. Curiously, I only have the Brumby stallion. I have also one of the versions of the mini Shetland rearing.

Even if she isn't exactly a tradionnal percheron, I like very much Belle of the Bayou

Okay, time for the customs. Most of these were painted by me, but I'll mention if one wasn't.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Snowcap Appaloosa on CollectA Quarter Horse Stallion. Painted by Me.
This was one of my first real repaints, and it is not very good, if I may be honest.

Overo Paint on CollectA Andalusian Stallion. Painted by Me.

I just wanted to mention that the friends who painted the two customs mentioned are no longer involved in the hobby, and as such, I will not be sharing their social media or names in order to respect their privacy.

New Collecta Pony :)

Name: Pacifica
Breed: Knabstrupper
Gender: Mare
Notes: I love how flashy this gal is. She'll make a lovely photography model.

Very interesting color choices even if some are not supposed to these breeds. Though, the results are wonderful and it is quite interesting to see how completely different colors transform some horses like the Andalusian, Camarillo or Lusitano. You're very talented! :)

Name: Unnamed
Breed: Hanoverian
Gender: Mare
Notes: I was originally going to repaint this gal, but I've actually grown fond of her OG paint job. I know a lot of people on Amazon were complaining that she's "too bright" for a bay, but my variation isn't that bright at all. Her sides are a bit sunk in, but that goes for most of the older CollectA molds, so I don't mind it all that much.

Great work on the customs, the pinto patterns on the Andalusian and the Tennessee Walker look especially nice.

I like the Southlands foal! The mare has always had something about her proportions bother me a little, but the foal is wonderful.

Unnamed
Breed: Holsteiner
Gender: Mare
Notes: I hate this mold, but the variation I received does at least have decent shading.

Some random dogs that I've collected. One is a golden retriever, one is a chihuahua, and one I have no idea.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

All of my Mini-Whinnies. I have some older ones too, but they're old and look terrible, so I don't display them on my shelf. These ones are all from the newest series if I remember right.

Name: Unnamed(for now)
Breed: Brenton
Gender: Stallion
Notes: This guy is a new release for 2024. I LOVE him. My camera makes him out to be a bit darker than he is in real life, but his shading if lovely. He does unfortunately suffer from the pear shape that a lot of CollectA have, and his belly is a bit odd, but he is gorgeous. It is so nice to see a draft model in a pose that isn't walking or standing there.

Congratulations, your third dog seems to be a Shetland Sheepdog. It ressembles somewhat the Schleich model. Do you know the brand?

It is a Schleich from the Tack Shop set. I'm just not very knowledgeable about dogs, so I wasn't sure what breed it was.

OK, so that's the breed and it is the Schleich model I was refering to.

Here is one new Schleich model and some Stablemates:

Name: Hazel
Breed: Oldenburg
Gender: Mare
Notes: This is one of the few recent Schleich molds I can stand to look at. There's just something about her.
