The Nilgai 88764 from CollectA 2016, walk around :-D

In spite of the subdued colours, the nilgai must be one of the most spectacular models from Collecta  

I have tried to take some pictures for a wakaround, but as always I can't make pictures do justice to a magnificent model  
In a close-up photo small things like slightly bent legs and too-white marking show very clearly, but when I got this model, I sat for a long time with him in my hand, and was just happy        

So here we go.
Please enjoy the detail, the great craftmanship of the artist, - and the fact that we have a compagny like Collecta, which makes our dreams come true..and more

Also a must have:)

It's gorgeous.
I love the little detail paintings like the black marks on the ears and the white spots on the cheeks.
Unfortunately bendy legs sure is a CollectA problem.
I have this problem with my Nyala and Fallow Deer as well.
Over time they just bend (to the right! Always to the right!) and the figure just falls over and can't stand anymore.
Then I just put them under the hot water tap, bend those legs back, and hold them under the cold water tap.
And they will stand straight again for a little time.
Oh well,
I guess that's the price we pay for having these beautiful slender legs.

Love it! Hope that I soon can get mine, it's definitley one of the best figures till now, and I'm really hoping for a wife for him in the next years!
And it's true, saddly also mine figures have problems with their legs, and sometimes it's so worse that you can't use them anymore, or just if you can cust.
But they look amazing, and I definitley will suport them. Thanks for the walkaround Susanne, I'm looking forward for the others. :)

Your pictures are always among the best that we can see in this hobby and I am sure you give justice to the portraied figure. This Nilgai is one of these figures that not many brands would be brave enough to release, an heavy body over slender legs. Or, another brand, would make it in a chubby version. Obviously I'd love to see CollectA solving these manufacturing problems but the enthusiasm of having these figures is so precious that I think there's no choice. The only way is to get these figures or surely we will loose the chance of getting some of the best figures ever released in this hobby. This nilgai is as nice for me as the best old Lineol and some of my Lineol are cracked, with a lot of paintloss and I keep loving them. The only way to improve manufacturing defects, is to challenge the limits and CollectA does it.

Very nice. Next year a female, please. ^^

I agree with Suanne,the nilgai must be one of the most spectacular models from Collecta.

I would like, lying nilgai and nilgai baby in my collection.

I am delighted that y'all also love this beauty

This nilgai is beautiful. Thank you, Susanne!

Congrats Susanne, and thanks for the photos. It is a masterpiece of CollectA. Sorry about the bendy legs. It's something I can't figure out. Most of my CollectA don't have bendy legs. Only Giant Sable Antelope Female, Przewalsky Horse, Quarter Horse Stallion, and Haflinger Mare have bendy legs. Maybe I'm just lucky with CollectA and I wish you all would be as lucky in the future.

Thankyou, Ken and Donny

Thankyou for your wish, dear friend
I don't have a lot with bendy legs either, ..but also I choose to ignore it and not to get irritated if it happens.

This nilgai is beautiful. Thank you, Susanne!

Great walkaround Susanne!

love this Nilgai. For me, it was the standout of the 2016 CollectA Wildlife range. The Shoebill was pretty great too; and the Hirola, and the Zebra, and so on, but the Nilgai was special. I had to order from Australia to get it since it still hasn't been distributed in the U.S., but it was worth it.

I have a problem with bendy legs with CollectA as well. (Not all models of course.) The Nyala and the Sables are particularly bad. I noticed with the Grevy's Zebra that it felt like a slightly different--tougher--material. I wondered if it was intended to solve that problem.

Looking forward to 2017 CollectA Bongo!

Thankyou, guys
