CollectA 2014 News

Any idea as to when the bowhead whale and pygmy sperm whale will be available for purchase?

This Pygmy sperm whale is really beautiful and better than the previous one IMHO.  

Nevertheless i have a question for Sea life specialists: The sideways position of the tail seems a little odd to me, it looks like a reptile or a fish position  

For me a cetacean tail is moving up and down, not left to right.  

Is it the pic ? Am I wrong ?

Maybe it's like the position of the tail of the Pilot whale's and the Ganges river dolphin's?

And also the Pacific white-sided dolphin's tail?

You are right     Even if it seems not to much for the Ganges river dolphin.

Numaan, I don't see items 88662 & 88663. Where are they?

Bravo CollectA!!!!!

Thanks.

You're welcome!

So, Numaan, is this all the releases for the year? or are there a few more? I'm pretty impressed with their interest in ungulates (particularly Asian species) and their interest in canines. Being a canine lover, I like all the new species.

An email I received from CollectA said they are working on photos for the May releases.  

I hope for more nice wild animals.

Oh, so these are only the January releases? That's great news, more awesomeness from collectA.

Mostly. I received photos of all the ones Numaan posted today, along with the dinosaur posted by Takara and the horses by me. The message said all of those are January models (as well as the other previously shown ones, by Numaan) except two, which were not said, that are May releases. It looks like we will have a pretty good number of CollectAs for 2014!

The Missouri Fox Trotter Mare Palomino and Chestnut will be released in May.

We won't know the May releases til later this month and into early next month. I joined CollectA's emailing list not expecting to get the new 2014 pictures and at the bottom of the email it said they were working on the photos for the May releases.

Yes, cetaceans do move their tails up and down rather than from side to side like fish, but if they are in a turning or a jumping position their tails can appear to be moving like a fish:

The Pacific white-sided dolphin from CollectA appears to be in a "present" position, commonly seen during shows in aquariums:

CollectA most likely thought it would be boring to have all of their marine mammals in one similar swimming position.

Thank you Orcagirl

About the Pacific white-sided dolphin, the "Show" pose is probably the reason I don't like him.
