Using a snake as a base instead of the grass triangle would have been perfect.
Now it's just almost perfect.

I am happy that there is not a snake

And I think it is great that the legs won't bend  

Also, as a toy, I think it is more fun with only one animal in a model.

So one more, a female? , with snakes and everyone will be happy

Glad there is no snake !!! the colorata raptor has a snake ( and also a stand to keep the raptor standing/hovering) CollectA has done a marvelous job on this figure .. what they did with the Woodpecker, and other birds proves they are geniuses and know what they are doing when they give us a beautiful figure to play . display and make dioramas !!

Finally a great wish came true I wanted a Secretary Bird for so long and finally CollectA gave us one :) It´s such a beautiful thing, that CollectA also respects the wishes of their fans

This secretary is simply incredible!
Numaan,
Will CollectA release any new monkeys for 2017 such as a colobus or uakari?

Hi Lane, unfortunately no primates for this year (that I know of) sorry! Will try for next year :-)

Wonderful model!!

i like the dramatic spanish one,...and i look forward to cut the legs free (CollectA)

Great species choice and brilliant execution

Numaan,

Do you know if there are any hooves and horns wildlife?

you will have some news soon I promise.....hooves and horns? oh Yes - CollectA could not possibly fail us by not giving us at least ONE horned beast......and what a beast it will be.....believe me!

All eyes glued and waiting for those Bovids !!

I hope a big bovid ... please, can you just give us a letter of this animal's name ?

What about the antelope babies CALVES? Really hope that there'll be one for next year too.

Forest buffalo or Bongo would be a great news at least for me

Like I said before: I pray for a bongo and a Pere David's deer.

Is the hint in the beast? wildebeest (not black,though) topi, Hartebeest, or kudu?

Bongo is a very high probability ..!! and the other maybe a huge BEAST !! a MUSK OXEN !!! !! ??

I pray for a big male Indian gaur !

They have indeed an African one and the wild water buffalo ... I hope it will be revealed on the next batch but it will be probably for the last one :)

Numaan told us it is a species never made by a Major

The same... Not a new model

Why not a Bongo for Africa and a Saîga for Asia?

And we are so far from Secretary bird comments

I was thinking of Saiga, too, besides Bongo. But Numaan said "at least ONE (he wrote in capital letters) horned beast." Is it a hint, that there will be only one bovid? If so, the other one could be a deer, or a rhino.

Sumatran Rhino !

He did mention hooved animals so one bovid and another cud be anything now !!

I was thinking that this Secretary Bird and the Colorata one can hunt together in a pair--isn't that what they do in the wild? I hope they are similar size.
