CollectA 2025 Releases, 3rd Batch

What an interesting batch. It might be even my favourite so far.

I really like the Takahe, it's a very beautiful model even with it's slightly "overwhelming" base. The clours of the feathers blend in nicely.


The marmot looks awesome! I really like how they made his fur and facial expression.

The Haflinger stallion has a very nice pose, I just hope that he stands well. All the horses were nice so far but CollectA didn't reveal a single new breed for now. I hope that that will change with the next batches.


The blacksmith is a very interesting idea. I like that concept, even Schleich didn't release one (at least in the recent years). That is definitely a set I will look out for.

I love having something to look forward to on Friday mornings

I am by far most excited for the Takahe, as it is a species I don't have in my collection. It will be a great addition to my nearly-empty New Zealand display. I also wish it didn't have the grass between the legs, but CollectA tends to use a softer material so it would probably fall over otherwise.

The marmot looks really great too! I already have Schleich's, Papo's, & Bullyland's, but this looks like it could be the best of the bunch. I may have to add it to my European Alps display along with the new Chamois

I'm excited for the next two weeks! So far I will just be getting 2-3 of the new CollectA. I'd love to add more to that list.

Oh, I missed the Haflinger Stallion!! He looks very nice and the blacksmith is a great addition too!!

The good news takahe, I would have preferred a model with less grass between the legs or none at all!
For me this will be my third takahe the yowie, the home made one of my first trials and for sure this one!
Marmot very beautiful and will undoubtedly join the clan.

The marmot and the Takahe look really really good,so they will be on my wishlist!

Some collectors have written that CollectA will be releasing a Gemsbock and Armadillo figurine for their 2025 lineup. Does anyone in this forum have any information about these releases?

The chamois has sparked my interest.
Too bad I bought the Papo a few months ago, but I couldn't predict Collecta would release its own version in 2025.
The Papo model is very nice, but too big in comparison with my other Alpine animals (Eurasian lynx, mouflon and ibex) when I put it on display on my bookcase.

Can you share a photo of Papo Chamois vs other Alpine animals?

The chamois is too massive next to the Eurasian lynx (Papo), the Corsican mouflon (Collecta) and the Alpine Ibex (Collecta). It should be shorter than the Ibex

I knew it would be slightly oversized before I bought it, but I ordered it anyway, because I found it beautiful, unlike the failed model from Bullyland.
I hope Collecta's rendition will be smaller.
The marmot would also be a nice addition to my Alpine fauna.
Too bad that we Europeans, will have too wait so long before they get released here.

I haven't heard anything about that. I guess we will find out for sure in the coming 2 weeks
