Hi all

Here is the photo of the Giant Eland. This is the prototype and not the final plastic version so the final product will be a little more smoother in texture. I hope you like it. It is one of my favourite new CollectA releases of 2012 along with the Giant Sable.

hmm I am not a fan of Papo at all. They have great cats but I am not sure about others.....but we all have different views...

Glad you all like the Eland! I am now going to post the final Antelope of 2012 - the Waterbuck in a separate thread.

There are no Papo standards indeed, as not even all of their big cats are good...
The puma has ist head to small, forget about the lynx at all, and the attacking tiger and lion are out of model almost completely, specially the big paws...
The rest is very good, in case of the tigers and lionesses.

at least Collecta make a Giant Eland Antelope and really listen to us and Cheers for Numaan!

Currently Papo star model is still tiger & jaguar. Lynx really cannot make it at all. So even the big cat family is still not close to perfect yet.

Indeed, but the jaguar has its flaws to, as his head doesn't have the typical broad jaws of the jaguar...

true.but every brand has it own merits and negatives.

Exactly!

Agree!!

What is special about the year 2012 for the CollectA company that they almost gave us their best of everything? I hope they won't run out of a new bright ideas in the years to come.

All their antelopes are simply the best by far.

We will think of something gorgeous, perhaps lots of birds ?

I totally agree with you. CollectA was already a good surprise two years ago when they released the spoonbills. But 2012 will be Collecta's Year. The antilopes are great, the red river hog is simply beautiful and I hope they release a bird as well.

That's a big big bonus already Suzanne!

Yes this is an area CollectA are definitely lacking in along with Monkeys so will push for these for the future.

Do we, Roger?

I'd love to have your bird, my friend. Not only I love the phillipine eagle but also I haven't got ANY phillipne animal!

Well, thank you. I appreciate that!

Speaking of our Philippine Fauna, we have a lot of endemic animals in the Philippine itself. But I don't think any of these toy companies will risk their monies manufacturing them without any guarantees that it might not be popular to the world market as well? They maybe beautiful and unique animals but they are also might not be very appealing enough to the public? As we all know, the majority of these buyers are coming from the European, North and South Americans and perhaps the Oceania regions and perhaps the Asian market plays a very small percentage only?

I think i must agree with Ron here, but we can hope, isn't it?
I hope for many birds and monkees for 2013, since they made so many wanted and bigger species for 2012.
There are species enough around the world, we wouldn't have time enough to collect them all!

Hello Laser. I agree with you: those companies rarely take risks. Safari and Schleich 2012 collections are clear signs of that. Problem is: countries with splendorous fauna, such as Phillipines, Brazil and so on, are underepresented. It is a shame! But let's hope that at least a philippine eagle be presented!

A Philippine eagle sounds great but any eagle I would be happy with that isn't a Bald eagle, there are too many of them on the market.

Yeah, when you look at the current eagles, you would think that a bold eagle is the only species there is...

Absolutely, if we except the COLORATA raptors set

Yes my friend, and the older Schleich birds of prey...

Great eland!!! I think i will buy a lot of CollectA animals 2012.

I absolutely love this Eland; he's so majestic. I so want this figure, its quite simply awesome!
