COLLECTA 2018: WILD LIFE - Bongo Calf (88823)

Last edited by Numaan on Thu Nov 09, 2017 11:59 pm; edited 3 times in total

So I am really pleased to announce this wonderful baby - I am sure you antelope lovers out there will love this one. When the Bongo adult was first considered as a model I pushed for a baby at the same time. It was to follow the release of the Eland calf. with so many adult antelopes in the range with hardly any children I thought it would be a good idea to ensure they make some in future. This baby was started soon after the adult sculpt was completed but due to tight time deadlines it did not make the final cut and still needed some work. Personally I think the model looks great. Where the Eland calf was modeled on an 'older' baby, I was keen to ensure that the Bongo baby was modeled on a very young baby and here it is. Note that the photo is of the prototype and not final plastic model.

Enjoy!

Sorry Florian, this was meant to come out with it's dad last year but didnt make it so just this and no more Bongo's. Besides, our lovely in house sculptor Noemi has made a female to complement this so now one can have a full family :-)

Yes indeed. Damage for this year but I'm happy with the civet !

Personally I find bongo calves super cute! A great plus it is a very young one!

Florian, I think Numaan told us that there's an inedit hoofed animal coming up this year... I guess we'll have to wait one, two or three weeks to discover it...

Very cute calf! Love the detailed texture and painting. And the eyes.

That's a cute calf, maybe not the most realistic one, but still one that will be in my wishlist too! Very Happy

And it's a pitty that it will be an other orphan, specially at that age.

I think it is positively cute and it really looks very young contrarily to the eland as you pointed. I enjoy that the company explore similar animals in different ages, it turns everything more interesting. I am not sure it will be as good as the eland but I am sure it is a good decision. Very Happy

Very nice calf! And a right initiative of making calves for antelopes. Everyone had giraffe claves or zebra foals, but there were not so many antelope babies on the market. Now Colelcta is changing the game!
