CollectA @ The London Toy Fair (Olympia) January 2023

Hi guys

Reporting back to you after my visit to the toy fair last week.  I was pleasantly surprised to come across a CollectA display at a distributor's stand showcasing the CollectA range AND the new 2023 models.  I must say, the Llama is stunning but that Amazon River Dolphin is a TRIUMPH! I love it.  It is an animal I have been asking CollectA to make for the last seven years but it was always relegated in favour of other models - models which have really pleased us, may I add!  Nevertheless, CollectA have proven again that they listen to the 'fans' and I am so pleased that this model is now with us!  It is beautiful....my favourite release this year....

Anyway, enjoy!

THANK YOU Numaan!

Thank you.
The Koolasuchus, the Anomalocaris, the Goblin shark and the river dolphin are must haves. ^^

Do you have pictures from the fair for other brands?

Oh yes...Papo, Mojo and Schleich...will post later today :-)

interesting photos,   thanks for the beauties you show

Thank you very much Numan!
for the photos you show;
My choice is made and reassures me on the first catalog images. They are fantastic in person
Goblin shark, Boto dolphin, Angel shark are must-haves for me
Pangolin, Llama and Jersey Cow, will also be in my gorgeous collection too!
And long live CollectA

Thank you Numaan for enjoying us with such pictures every year

All of this confirms my belief that 2023 will once again be a year of happiness in my relationship with CollectA.
The Boto, the Koolasuchus, the honeypot ant, the Angelshark, the Shastasaurus, the Hadrosaurus and the Brightstoneus will leave my wishlist to join my shelves as soon as possible.
Too bad the right whale and the Stegouros were not present.
Please Numaan, put some bigger pictures for my old eyes

Thanks Numaan, you are our official reporter for fairs and other related events.
Please just remember using the righgt code to avoid these thumbnails, we have to click individually on each picture and if you get the right code, we will be able of enjoying your pictures in a much easier way.
I'm really excited about the Koolasuchus !

The Arab and Holsteiner look great. They'll definitely be joining my medieval display. I hope the rough collie scales well with Schleich's current labs and retrievers, because I'd love to get her.

Thank you so much for the photos, how wonderful to see the CollectA Rough Collie, I am so excited for the release of this model! It looks beautiful and I'm sure even better in real life!

Rogerio, I am shamed to say I am bad when it comes to technical things. Going off topic, I always use [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to uplosd full pictures BUT when I try to upload these fair images they keep loading upside down with no way of editing them. so I tried to find another site which only lets me post thumbnails....

If you know of any easier, simplier image hosting site then let me know...I will try and look again now...

Uploading images always drives me crazy! :-) Heeeelp!

I don't understand the problem? You can click the pictures and they will show a larger image of the photo.
Or does that mean it's fixed now? Anyways, thank you for posting them. 2023 will be a great year for CollectA for sure

Oh wow, soo many great models!!! Loooove, the horses and the Jersey cow and calf! Thank you for these photos!!

I'm slightly disappointed in the palomino. He's seems a bit too yellow for my taste. But the Holsteiner looks better in these photos than in the promo ones. The Arabian also looks really nice. His color is quite plain, but customizing him should be fun.

Thank you for sharing these enjoying pictures Numa!

I'm suggesting below a hosting service which I find easier. Though, if you don't like it, just keep posting as you're doing, as Simmone pointed, it is not a problem at all that we ahve to click on thumbbnails.
This service you can even use without loging in.
When choosing the code, choose "Hotlink for Foruns" and paste it in your post.

There's no problem at all. It is just much easier to see them at once.

Rogerio thanks so much, I was using that very site and now with your instructions I have re-loaded the photos. They are bigger now, yay! Will now post Papo, Schleich and Mojo pics! THANK YOU!

Great pictures!The Llama and the Rough Collie look great.Liking some of the horses as well but the Jersey cow and calf seem little washed out for me which is a bit disappointing.

You're very welcome and I'm glad you managed it. We wait every year for this moment when you bring us photos directly from these exhibitions. Now I can see it in Full HD.

Thank you for these wonderful photos again! I'm very excited for CollectA this year even if I'm only getting a few models. Was the right whale not on display? I was hoping to get it along with the river dolphin, goblin sharks, angel shark, and pangolin

Can't wait for these to come out!
