My new additions

I have recently received four new horses from Australia to add to my (very small) collection of CollectAs Could someone please tell me how to upload photos, so I can share some pictures?

I feel really embarassed, I know I read somewhere how to do it, but now I really can't find it again and I'm hopeless with computers, so I can't seem to figure it out without help

Somebody made a guide how tio do it a while ago. I am searching....

Here it was :

I hope it can help you

Can´t wait to see your pics!

Thank you so much, Susanne! It certainly helped me and I've saved it to my favourites so I can look at it if I need to again



Thoroughbred mare. Looks slightly odd and she's got problems with her back feet or she is just plain stubborn. She looks a bit nervy, but there is something about her that makes me like her. She was the first CollectA I bought, and she was the reason I wanted more of them :)



Hanoverian stallion. Nice model.


Thorughbred mare. She is, in my opinion, absolutely gorgeous. I love her!



Arabian mare. Much more beautiful than I thought she would be. She looks much better in real life than in the pictures.



Appaloosa stallion. Is in fact a gelding. I love his face, his got such a nice expression.



Friesian stallion. Another gelding who wants to be called stallion. This model is another favourite of mine. He is beautiful!


Bull terrier, female. Who can resist this little dog? I've always loved bull terriers, so I was extra happy to find this nice little bitch. She is lovely!

Oh my goodness
All of new horse models are stunning! It's good to finally see a non-catalog photo of new Thoroughbred mare.
And I really agree with your opinion about the bullterrier - she's really nice :)

Wonderful horses and dog. I love them all. So glad you were able to post photos.

Congrats! Thorughbred mare is gprgeous!

Congratulation Beautiful horses And dog

Congratulations!!! They are so nice! I really want to get some of these new CollectA horses trouble is they're so hard to get hold of in the UK - I haven't seen a single site offering them yet

Lovely animals, especially bully girl

Wonderful figueres and wonderful pictures
Good you found out how to do it !

What a fine collar for the little bullterrier. I love her too, have always been fascinated by bullterriers, they look as if they have a sence of humour

Very nice, thanks for the photos.

Thank you very much, everyone

Harriet (is that your name?) - I had the same problem. In the end I gave up trying to find them in the UK and ordered them from Australia instead. I'm sure they'll be available here eventually, but in the meantime I'll quite happily pay the more expensive postage and get them now :)

Yes, that's my name I'd forgotten you were in the UK too! It's really annoying isn't it, there are hardly any sites selling CollectA, Bullyland or Safari ltd in the UK.

... and MPV still doesn't have them in stock. Good news though: they will be getting the rest of the dinosaur line, at least this year's!

If I understood them correctly, they ordered it all but the main distributor for Germany doesn't have them in stock yet...

Yay, I got it right I wouldn't know about the Safari ltd or Bullyland since I am not collecting them (yet... I have a feeling it won't be too long before I do. Have already started looking at some safari ltd models. But only looking of course, with no intention of buying anything :p ), but I agree, it is very annoying. In fact, so annoying that I have more than once considered the possibility of starting my own business and stock the brands that no one else seems to have

Some people complain that the 2011 horses have more bendable legs that Hanoverian, Friesian and Appaloosa.
Could you tell me if there is a big difference between the "bendability" (what a word but I don't know any better one) of the legs of the 2011 horses and the earlier ones? I'd be very grateful :)

The akhal teke has thin legs which maybe affects them being bendable. But the knabstrupper, you can't move his legs at all.

Thanks Harriet, but I meant the Collecta horses, those whose photos are in the topic

I'm afraid the legs of the new horses DO bend much easier than the ones of the older models. CollectA seem to have changed material because the new horses feel much softer and more rubbery. The legs of the older horses don't really bend at all, unless you put extreme pressure on them, but these new ones are easily bent just by lightly touching them.

I love the thoroughbred mare! She´s on my wishlist (that I hope to get on July)

About the legs, I had a big problem with my Collecta chestnut hannover, his right legs were blent so much that the horse couldn´t stand by himself. But I fixed them up and now his legs are like new and the paint wasn´t damaged anyway :)

Me too! Maybe we could go in together!
