CollectA Tibetan Antelope (Chiru) - 88721 Special Edition

My willpower is weak - I couldn't resist this once I saw it. I rationalize it as part of the proceeds go to species preservation Wink

Hmmm, $258 HKD = approx. $35 USD. I paid a SERIOUS premium Sad

I know no Chinese, so most of the text is of little use to me (but it sure looks nice). The postcards are heavy stock, the plastic credit card has the special edition number (mine's #0073), the booklet includes two stamps in plastic windows. The whole package is very well done - even the foam inlay is impressively dense with precise cut-outs.

The medallion:

What you would expect - heavy, reasonably detailed. Sorry, I don't know what the metal is made of. Not much on the reverse.

The figure:

In a word, amazing. Maybe my favorite CollectA yet!

WOW ! A fabulous collector's item cheers

Everything is so neat and high-quality Very Happy

I am also eager to get the regular version although I understand that special edition is a very interesting collectible. Not only horse collectors love special editions isn't it? Wink

It also brings other collectibles related to the animal and there's a contribution to a preservartion Institution. Congratulations for getting it and not only because the figure is outstanding. cheers
