Thank you

Thank you so much .
Magnificent Catalogue, a feast for the eyes!
the most beautiful of all brands

Beautiful catalogue, it's nice to see old models near newcomers, we can see how CollectA improved its collection year after year.

Thank you for sharing

Great ilustrations in this catalogue.

Thanks Thomas

I find it interesting that the catalogue starts with prehistoric animals. Perhaps it suggests that that's the section that sells best.

The prehistoric figures have always been, since an early stage, the flagship of the brand. They have one of the largest ranges if not the largest and they have had a dedicated sculptor to the series. They made the same with horses, at a later stage, and they also gained reputation in this area but CollectA is still regarded mostly as a brand of dinosaurs.

Could it be that this is one of the most beautiful catalogues? Love those illustrations and the way CollectA represents their figures.

Interesting for people who collect (sub)species:
- the wild boar and the lynx are under the Asia-Category, so probably asian subspecies
- the hare is under the Europe-Category, so Lepus europaeus and not a jackrabbit (as often used)
- the rabbit is under the American-Category - so maybe a american species
- the barn owl seems to be a american subspecie
- the otter and beaver are european otter resp. beaver

That's interesting but likely the boar and the lynx as species which can be found both in Europe and Asia, just found an empty space in Asia as it happened with the Peregrine falcon which has an even wider distribution. Though, it has been suggested the boar and the brown bear to be Asian subspecies which is great.
The hare is marketed as a brown hare which is the common name for the European subspecies.
The rabbit is under Europe and not North America and it has always been identified as the European wild rabbit. The same for the barn owl, it is under Europe too and I think its heavy spotting works better for an European subspecies.
This otter is an European species,, it was the previous otter which was suggested to be a North American one and to be fair, it was a good suggestion.
The beaver we didn't know, so, since this catalogue distribution seems to be accurate, I think we can assum now it is an European one.

Off course the rabbit and barn owl are under Europe ‍� sry, didn't realize they shared a half of the double page with north america^^

Yes, it is possible that they haven't enough space for the species so they put it under Europe. However I can think of one user who already argued about the wild boar being the asian subspecies. However can't remember who it was^^
