CollectA 2010

Lovely Butterfly Blaine, congrats!

Great new additions man!
The lions and buffallo are very nice indeed.
The tigers are a little bit odd, with very human looking eyes more or less...

Great butterfly and model Blaine!
This was one of the most common butterflies around here, but they get really seldom the last 10 years.
But i saw some in the last weeks, the were on a butterfly-bush in the garden, but i was not able to take pics of them.
By the way, did you go see in the treads about "Animals around your house" , where some of us did some pics from butterflies and insects?
It is in the section:Talk about what you want...

CollectA Beaver. It's very cute and I think it's a nice to have this to be added in your collections.

Again better than expected

The CollectA African Buffalo. Not as good as the Papo's African Buffalo but I think better than the Safari Ltd's Buffalo.

Must be added to your Beaver's clan, Christophe.

Congratulations on your additions Ron , I really like the mountain goats, so cute! I'm afraid I never liked the CollectA Buffalo, the pose I really don't like. But I do like his face, the paintwork and detail, it's just the pose that puts me off.

I already mentioned it before, I think this buffalo is much better if it's a cow instead?

Great additions. I like the mountain goats, they are cute. I think I like the buffalo. I like the stance, especially when you put it with the others. It looks like it is cowering down to the bigger male. The beaver is cute as well. Poor little lion cub, hopefully his family will arrive soon. Congratulations.

Thanks Amy. The beaver is my favorite in this batch. And don't worry, this cub won't be missing them so long no more.

Very good buffalo indeed. Its only flaws are painting of the ears and the awkward pose.
I've not held Papo buffalo in my hands yet, so please tell why do you think it's better than the Collecta bull?

i love his pose

I also received this CollectA Peregrine Falcon two weeks ago. A very descent raptor. It's like a much improved and updated Schleich Peregrine Falcon. Sorry that my pictures can't show his real beauty.

An excellent figurine to my mind. One of the best bird figurines in my collection (or maybe even the #1).

Absolutly fantastic!!! Congrats Ron!!
I think who loves animal figurines may pay atention to CollectA. I know older figurines are not fantastic, but the new ones are impressive. To me it doesn't metter the tag.
When I visited the CollectA store I said something like this... CollectA animals look like wild animals we can see the bones, natural expression, etc.
In Schleich they are very good too but look like in zoo, very fat with a perfect fur.

An interesting thought, Roger!

That's something I never thought of
