The CollectA 88682 European Mouflon: A walkaround by Kikimalou

I'm still in a Caprinae mood and it seems there is still no CollectA mouflon walkaround. So I have no doubts about making mine

So what about European Mouflons in the animal toys world ?

Rare, more than the Alpine Ibex of course but even more than the Chamois... Maybe a horns making problem ?

You will find some mouflons on ToyAnimalWiki

And now, ladies and gentlemen, some pics  

I have this one, but looking at your photos makes me even love it more and more. Thanks.

A very nice mouflon:)

Thank you Donny and Andreas

Exactly

Wonderful walkaround of a gorgeous model

I agree with you, it is much probably a manufacturing question behind the fact there are not many European mouflons. Also, when there is, it is generic looking being hard to identify from otehr "wild sheep" species. Mainly because that lighter large patches are very important and probably not pleasant looking. However, CollectA did a good work with sculpting and painting as we can see in your excellent pictures. This is one of these figures that a more common pose was preferrable for me, I love unusual poses in common animals and common poses in unusual figures. The other is the barbary sheep.

What a beautiful pictures kiki...¡

Is very detailed figure.

Thank you Susanne , Rogério and Fernando

Of course the pose could be different and a "usual" one should pleased me too. Nevertheless, the Safari Ltd Bighorn was "standing, head on the right", the old Bullyland was "standing, head on the left" and the odd looking Papo was "standing, head straight". Except the old Lineol, the CollectA is the more "natural looking pose" of the batch

Beautiful model, certainly on my wish list. Thank you for the walk around Chrsitophe!!!

I like the colours, the unusual pose (in toys, but in real life I think very normal pose) correctly painted eyes (not like the ridiculous eyes with vertical pupils that were done by schleich in their new sheep ) And I like also the correct thin legs.

If I get one I may slightly change the horns/head edge, the gap between them is a bit too visible.

Where is the family photo with other mouflons?

 A bit belated answer

You're welcome Anna
