Astonishing model

Welcome back :)

No.1 Collecta model of 2016 for me, I think.
Hirola is too rare for my taste, and not so beautiful as well

Handsome beast, the paintjob looks really well done !

OH, this beast brought some members back to the forum? Nice to see old friends posting again!

Welcome back :)

Glad to be back, thank you.

Happy New Year to all! Wishing everyone a healthy and happy 2016! Didn't really know where to post this(But the Nilgai Bull post seemed apropos, but there is a new book that many would enjoy pre-ordering. It's a Princeton Field Guide : Bovids of the World: Antelopes, Gazelles, Cattle, Goats, Sheep and Relatives by Jose R Castello

Thought this may be of interest to collectors. Again, happy new year!

Thanks for your book suggestion. I also hope they make one small wild feline. We need that one of the major brands make a caracal or a serval, these cats are not so unknown to the public. I think that the caracal is easier to manufacture and it is also enough distinct from the remaining figures of the brand.

Here's a nice little video showing all the CollectA 2016 releases in one neat package. Hope you enjoy!

Cruel Samson, I first thought you will show pics of the real models Nice job though

Oops! sorry to confuse.. I should have mentioned that there's no new images

We will however have access to the actual models earlier than most and we'll definitely be posting full review videos with nice close ups, rotations, everything we love to see on STS!

Thanks for that video! They are only 38 but the excitment is like they were 380! So many nice figures in a short batch. Looking forward to see these 360 degrees reviews!
