CollectA 2019: WILDLIFE -Timber Wolf Howling (88844)

I've just got this good news from Collecta:

"The wolf plays an important role in fairy tales and is being worshipped in several other cultures.  But besides the positive so as negative attitudes that the wolf is said to have:  the wolf is a real animal. Originally (before the proliferation of Homo sapiens and the development of farming and agriculture) the wolf was the most widespread land mammal on earth. Wolves were based throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Wolves became known primarily as forest animals, because humans had driven them out  from populated areas to the backwoods. Their adaptability allows them to live in the Arctic Tundra as well as in the deserts of North America and Central Asia. When re-working on the the CollectA models our wolves received a new colouring. So, we are presenting you with the new decoration of our two wolf figurines howling and hunting."

Both of these are dissappointing. These models are old and could have used new sculpts all together.

My comment here could be the exact same as I did for the wolf hunting. However, I excuse CollectA if they present a new canid species this year what can mean that they wanted to invest in a new species instead of updating the sculpt of a commoner one.

Nice wolf

I like the new colouring, but a totaly new sculpted model would have been much better.

I agree ! The new painting is beautyful, but especially the walking one needs a complete upgrade...or perhaps a couple of puppies insteda of two wolves ?

I'm absolutely dissapointed when saw their "new" wolves. These two ones never differ from other brands by good anatomy (really, if to do a top of wolves had been released among major brands I'd give to CollectA's ones the last point/ Even Bullyland were always mading wolves better!). Plus I don't think that in hand these wolves will have the same paintjob as official ones have.
