They are replacing a fantastic giraffe. It would mean that the new will be better!

This isn't always happening, have you seen the pictures of new Schleichs?

Yes, are even more toyish and made for children, don't you agree? That's Schleich evolution! In the other brands, like Papo, CollectA and certainly in Mojo you will see that almost always remakes are more realistic than previous.
I don't want to comment much more Schleich because many children love them and I love children!
Crocobert is very happy with what is happening in 2012!!! :)

Yes, I hope they're nice!

So many wonderful animals coming out, and we still haven't heard from Papo, I won't be able to afford all these amazing figurines!

Sounds really good!
I can't wait to see them, thanks for the news Numaan!

I am really happy about the new antelope , the capybara and the stripe hyena. I am glad Collecta is daring to be different!

MORE ANTILOPES AND MORE BOS INDICUS CATTLE !!!!!!!!!!
I CAN WAIT TO SEE THE PICS FOR NEXT YEAR 2012

OMG! Waterbuck, red river hog, and so many more!!! Oh, great news Numaan!! Can't wait for the pictures

Exited with the news and look forward for photos! Big Thanks!

Me too, I can't wait to see those bigger ones, I'm so curious of them I already know how I'll repaint the 1:12 Arabian stallion

...I think Collecta set oneself as an object to exclude another brands (Schleich, Papo etc.) from the ANIMAL-MODELS MARKET!

we wait pictures.... !

I cannot wait until pictures!

Just moved here from LG, hi everyone!

WHAT!!!!

New okapis, red river hog, capybara and antelopes! Can't wait to see the pictures , I hope they live up to our expectations!

Capybaras with baby, new stegosaur kinds, more prehistoric mammals and neanderthals.

Welcome Andy

I've never collected Collecta (it sounds strange! ) but all these animals are amazing (especially the black wildebeest, the giraffes :) and the okapis)!! Unfortunately, I don't think that I can find them in Italy!

I am sure you could find them online that shipped to Italy.

Welcome Andy to the forum where all dreams are possible!

WElcome Andy!! Glad to have you with us!!!!

Numaan, you are always the man when it comes to the CollectA's tips and infos and I don't have any doubt about it.

Thank you, Mr Col-leak- tA!


With this kind of line-up? I must start from fasting now!

Thank you CollectA for making as my most favorite brand for the past 2 years already.


And to Andy, finally, you are on the real animal figure's forum now. This is where you can find the latest news still hot off the grill. Even the CollectA is also updating their own Giraffe now!

Welcome Andy, so great to have you join us

Collecta is really the hero of the next year for all of us!
Looking at their wonderful list it seems that they're really paying attention to what we discuss here at the forum. How else could one explain the red river hog and the sable antelope???
Numaan, haven't you asked them if our forum somehow influenced their production plans?
And could they give you the list of the figures to be retired?

I'm also very glad to see the new trees! Other brands haven't updated their tree line-ups for a long while...

- walrus and walrus calf (I didn't see yet a good figure for a walrus)
- european Lynx (the linx is a really hard making figure)
- striped Hyena

Agree 100%! I've not seen a really great walrus figurine yet. And no striped hyena at all - only spotted ones.
By the way, what about a walrus female??? ) Or it will again be a single dad family, like ostriches...

Hopefully this approach will lead to their market success!

:) This shouldn't happen - we need competition on the market!

After that unbelivable, phantastic list of animals collecta is publishing in 2012, I will start to collect this brand immediately !

Four magnificant antelopespecies in ONE year ? That's amazing, and give us antelope fans new hopes for the upcoming years, so hopefully, colleta will produce more antelopes.

A Striped Hyena, a Red panda and, most important of them all, a Red River Hog...I can't belive it. So hopefully, all these models will look great.

So let's forget the 2012 trash line of Schleich, and look forward a bright future with collecta and the other brands like Mojo....

I hope the walrus and beluga are good, it could be a very good year!

First reaction: Yahghaudhduhah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second: YGAGIIIHYASSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@HkOllinstone

Me, too, Giant Elands are my Favourites, since I've seen them in in Zoos.

So let's the fingers cross, it will look magnificant...I have the same hopes for the other anteloeps, of course...

some figures of collecta are realy good , like peafowl, swan, dinosaurs, insects , but other are not realy good (comparative with other brands)...

Brilliant, glad they have made a boma, can't wait to see it !

I´m so excited abou okapi calf!!!! I hope It´ll be more realistic than Bullyland´s calf. Hope it´s coloring will be realistic too... okapi´s calf is black so I hope CollectA will make one like that :) And with smaller head

The Okapi calf is much better than the Bullyland one. The Bully Okapi calf was used as a bad example for CollectA to avoid making.

You will like the Okapi calf I am sure. Also the colour isnt actually black but a very dark brown.....

I hope, the okapi calf will be da mix between dark brown and black, okai calfs are not really black in colour, I've seen a lot of okapi calfs in my life, not only one of them was black...

@Schleichzoo. Any informations how the antelopes will look like ?

I don't know why, but with the help of Numaan I'm sure we will have very nice okapis!
In fact we are used to see some brands making calves only as little cute replicas of the parents. It is changing fortunately. We saw it clearly in Schleich, not because they don't know how does a calf looks like but because they are a hard selling brand. It is not the case of a okapi, but in some species the calf donnot look like an adulte and Schleich was afraid of kids not be able to understand which calf would fit with his parents!
Only two little words to Bullyland. The brand was the first modern brand making an okapi calf so the brand had no chance to use any other as a reference and also because it is the only brand that was brave enough to make a puma baby, even toyish it is not a miniature of an adulte and it is the only one.

Yes I have seen all the wildlife models but cannot post any pictures until the official ones are released. Please be patient, I will get them to you as soon as I can. I have only seen photos of prototype images and you must remember that even when the prototype are intricately detailed the outcome is slightly different with the eventual plastic model which is mass produced. From what I have seen they are great but I am also waiting to see official photos just like you. A handful of wildlife models are still being finalised. Thank you.

Wohoo... that is amazing!!! But I still don´t get why there is okapi male and calf and no female ?
Can you tell me one thing? Are okapis in movement or just standing?

Oh yes, it would be nice to have an okapi calf lying
I saw a figure on the web
and our friend Harriet, in a very nice home creations !................................
At the glance laying pressed and enjoyable for a calf!

I was hoping for an Okapi Male, female and baby but an Okapi male came first 'to tes the waters' and if it is successful then we may get a female in 2013. The male of a lot of animals species are always more impressive i think - sometimes you get a mother and baby and sometimes a father and baby. I am happy either way, but I do hope we get a mother the year after.

Both Okapi's are standing.

Of the four antelope -

Waterbuck standing (similar to current Schleich Kudu model)

Sable Standing/walking (being finalised)

Eland walking

Wildebeest running/galloping with tail flicked in the air.

Running wildebeests? Yeey! Finally!!! Thank you for that info :)
I would like to see walking okapi but standing will be good too I hope :)

I must get that running gnu!

Thanks for all the updates!!!!! I can't wait to see the pictures!!! A collecters life requires patience which I seem to be lacking right now!!! UGH!!!

i hope they will be in schleich scale....

Some very promising poses! I'm happy with it!

I hope they'll give you green light to post pics ASAP
