The two new Collecta synapsids with some Safari animals:

Congrats :)

How do you like them? They look really great to me and maybe CollectA and Safari together make almost the essential of the prehistoric times. We are happier with all brands but these two take the cake. :)

I am an enthusiast of Safari extinct animals, Collecta extinct and extant animals. I am keen on the two first Eofauna elephants. I prefer to buy three time an excellent (in my eyes) figurine of Safari or Collecta rather than a prehistoric ugly beast of .... I am not a specialist in anatomy. I attempt to understand the Thyreophora (Stegosaurs, Nodosaurs and Ankylosaurs). It is hard enough. Thus the synapsids are largely unknown to me. I trust Safari and Collecta. Their animals look as enjoying life and not living in an awkward body. I prefer still animals rather than over aggressive ones. I collect out-of-date dinosaurs too if they were a milestone in your hobby (e.g. Starlux, Invicta...). And some models are so cute like the first Mammouth of Safari...

In closing, I am very happy about the Estemmenosuchus and Dimetrodon of Collecta I got last week.

Nice to see the size comparisons too; I was worried the CollecA ones this year would be too big.

Thank you for the pictures.
It is nice to see them all next to each other.
All different brands seem to have something in favour for every collector out there.
I must say though, CollectA's choice of colours for their figures this year is not my cup of tea...

Great to see them ! They are both on my wishlist, but I think they are very expensive, aren't they ?

Thanks for your reply and for your interesting points of view. I enjoy the way you are immune to the monsterified world of media. :)

Yes, they are as Deluxe models they are.

For both models, I feel too the colour pattern as not being the best. As kid, I couldn't accept the pink colour with yellow spots chosen for Megalosaurus by Starlux. Currently, I am tolerant and weaker with Collecta (I like it)...
