I hope so, i want prehistoric mammals.

But the wild life and the dinosaurs are very great.

It's an ornithomimid year! Beishanlong! Struthiomimus! And Lythronax which is a tyrannosaur, but still, cool.

They haven't released any wildlife information at all yet. But CollectA usually seems to include at least a few antelope of some kind.

There are three wild animals in the second batch.

Yeah, I just saw that after all. it appears everyone is making Wombats this year!

I'm really happy about the Tahr and the Wombat is cute but there will be more wildlife aside from just those I hope?

Mainly just seeing lots of horse and dinosaur news and unfortunately that doesn't interest me in the least.

It would be unusual for CollectA to stop at 3. If nothing else, there should be at least a few sea creatures, and more wildlife.

Numaan said some time ago that there will be 6 new species that were never made before by other brands. Today two were published that never were done by a other major brand the tahr and the wombat(altought I know one from a Safari toob). So there are 4 more to come?

Yes, I also noticed it and I am curious about that. Was there any mediatic event that turned, suddenly, wombats so popular?
They're now as popular as Tasmanian devils. ;

What is with austalian animals/science and nature? They also have wombats.

There are several wombat figures, Numaan was referring to what we call here major brands (Schleich, Papo, Safari, Mojö, Bullyland and CollectA). Basically, brands that make figures in large size of global fauna. S&N is geographically oriented. You can see here more wombats, all species merged in the same page.

More are coming in the upcoming batches.

Me too!!

I just have hope for them with canids (since no other company seems too interested thus far outside of wolves and foxes). I love wolves, don't get me wrong, but there are also so many other species of canids out there that could be done, and CollectA seems to be the brand to do them. Nevertheless they could update their current wolf models to match their newer style. But canids come in three kinds generally, Large (meaning species of wolves), medium (meaning coyotes and jackals), and small (various species of foxes, or raccoon dogs etc.) and anything other than gray wolves and red foxes would be welcome. Again not that I don't like gray wolves and red foxes, but there is more out there. And we have been lucky with some things like fennec foxes and jackals, but there are bat eared foxes, dholes, dingos, arctic wolves, raccoon dogs, etc. etc. that could be done and CollectA would do such a lovely job.
Now I'm done with my rant....

I totally agree :)

3rd set of CollectA 2016 updates are being listed for you now!

Thank you Numaan

I'm happy with the animals that had been released, but will there be an other batch?

There is supposed to be at least one more horse, so I guess there'll be at least one more batch

Iris from CollectA wrote in today's e-mail that next week will be their final batch of 2016 releases!

Thank you two for the information! :)
