Ha ! This is my 3-th Black model by Collecta , which I am presenting these days
But this one actually it`s not just black ... no, no... This one has sooo many and sooo beautiful colours , presented in such a clever and interesting way. Well done CollectA !
So, I tried my best with taking photos, but only from them you can`t get a clear view of how beautiful the colours are.. because they are shiny .. and changing with the light .. just like some real birds we know :)
That`s why I will share also a video of review of this model, from one of the Youtubers, which I like to watch : Andy's Dinosaur Reviews
But now, let`s still see my photos of this lovely model :)
So, first, I was thinking that I don`t need this Collecta model, because I already had the PNSO one...and also because it`s big.. But after watching Andy's review on this model, I decided to get it.. ...and now, I love it !!! Especially because of these unique colours.
And because I showed the PNSO model here, let`s share one more video by Andy , a review of this one too

I almost can't believe! Does CollectA made it really iridescent or is it a sophisticated painting technic to simulate it? Whatever it is, it must be fabulous, I am so curious now to check it in real and I see the figure is unexpensive! Kosta, I am not collecting prehistoric animals anymore, why are you doing it to me? It has a hunting pose and a level of detail almost unbeatable. I think there is no doubts that CollectA is currently the company with the best manufacturing finish quality. Thanks also for sharing Andy's videos. They're quite entertaining.
Thank you very much for this great walkaround of a magnificent model The PNSO micro stands on my desk, because a fantastic Bulgarian Santa gave it to me This one is fantastic too ! Amazing how two great models of the same animal can be so different
wonderful pictures of a wonderful model, thank you Kosta!

Gosh! What a wonderful figure. When I first saw it's official photo, I expected it would turn out to be a very beautiful figure. Now I'm in love with it. Too bad I'm not collecting prehistoric figures anymore. Anyway, thanks to CollectA for creating it and to Kosta for presenting it here!

Thank you very much for your lovely comments friends Imagine Roger starts collecting prehistoric models again ... this will be a miracle And if Donny join the prehistoric party too ...
But guys , this what we can imagine realistically ... is , if Collecta makes some new models of modern day birds , using this painting techniques .. This will be really cool Like for example the : cayuga duck , which Andy mentioned on his video .. :)
Maybe we should give this idea to Collecta .. if they don`t have it already .. What do you think ?

A very beautiful raptor, wish they sold CollectA around here.
Roger, it looks like they used interference paints on it to me.

Ohh, yes ! And tell it to Safari also, - I accidently had their raven in my hand yesterday, and it is just a dull black

Yes, I really hope they use this technic in modern birds, even if it is just as Kelly mentioned. It seems to work. I am waiting for a long time for an ibis, my suggestion would be a white-faced ibis although I know there are more attractive ibis species. The duck is also very beautiful but maybe Susanne is more realistic and they may use it in a corvide. :)
I hope we will see soon a comparison topic with the new big Pnso one.

I rodered the new PNSO one, but for sure I have to wait a lot before having it for photos. When I get it, I will show it for sure. In the meantime , you can watch a nice review of it and maybe it will help you to decide :) Here is one :
I also like the smaller PNSO one. It is with very nice size and also very very detailed, and wonderfully painted. And it is in one piece

I saw the review Kosta but nothing can compare to a good comparison walkaround. In my new home I have less place for my collection and I have to make choice. The new PNSO seems very very detailed but the CollectA is looking so « alive ». So I will wait before ordering something
