FINAL RELEASES - CollectA 2015: SEALIFE - Great White Shark Open Jaw (88729)

Here is the mighty great white shark for all your fish lovers.....

I know some of you will wonder why a commonly made animal has been released but this was to satisfy another customer request.  It will still be welcomed in my collection for sure....

It is a great shark for sure

It's a little sad that it's a common species, but I'm happy to see a good white shark. It looks really fine, something is a little strange but the best one is still the old Schleich one.

Impressive!

I actually see nothing wrong with companies releasing very well known and common species,as collections need those too,along with the more rare and obscure ones.

Hmm... something about this guy's mouth reminds me of the sharks you can buy in the dollar store. I do like the pose though, you can tell he is after something.

Nice white shark:)

Nice, but maybe a little toyish?. We will have to see it in person.

Nice shark! Just nothing surprising - I thought this one was an old release.

Nice white shark

A little "sharkastic", I won't get it but I hope it has a lot of commercial success to support the introduction of more unusual species as CollectA is doing.

I had exactly John's thought expressed here. I think it would be odd if CollectA limited themselves to just uncommon species. I want to see CollectA's take on the run-of-the-mill, canonical toy animal species as well! Animals like Giraffes, Hippos, Tigers, etc. CollectA's recent 2012 Giraffe was a true gem. (And their old Hippo and Tiger are kinda meh.) In any case, not only must the company release such animals to survive (as John pointed out), I like seeing new takes on well-known animals. It's one reason why Papo still ranks up with CollectA in my estimation.

I like the Shark.

I agree with you both!

Nice. I hope it's a female and not too small.

I love shark !!

I agree with you, and I think CollectA is doing this well, for the last years models

Well, all the older White shark toys seem older fashion to me

Nice teeth, but looks more lie a Hollywood "White-Mako"-shark

You are so right Roger.

I do not collect all sea animals, but I will buy this one to my grandson. I am sure he will love it. He is 10.

This one looks like the movie one "JAWS"!
