What a great choice and model again from CollectA!
Very very nice model, only don't forget to tell the CollectA people to paint the white ring on the backside, it is very significant in this species!

I think the painting is right for Defassa Waterbuck. Defassa has only lighter colored backside then rest of the body. Ring on backside is typical for Ellipsen Waterbuck. By the way my favorite from these 2 is Ellipsen Waterbuck indeed

I was wondering which of the two I preferred. However I prefer the Defassa. The reason is because of the deeper darker coloured coat and the large white rump - I also like the light brown/orangey colouring that you get around the head area and on the coat. The chocolate brownness with the orange is lovely. After looking at many Ellipsen Waterbuck photos most of them have just the one type of coating and is not as colourful to me. Yes the ring on the rump is nice but I think the Defassa colouring is deeper, richer and overall prettier.....

Yes, Defassa is also very beautiful. Both are beautiful! But I'm happy that Ellipsen is still to do, maybe by me

my thoughts exactly. the color of Defassa is so yummy.
I still can't get over that i put a Defassa on my Mojo wish list, thinking it was sort of a waste of time since it didn't stand a chance... and then Collecta!

BTW, I'm saying 2 for Papo because I believe theres another in 2012!

There are already 2 antelopes in their range though, if one comes out next year that will be 3

Correct, Papo already have the greater kudu, my first antelope of ever, and the blue wildebeest! :) Thanks, curiously I have both posted in the antelopes topic!

AMAZING!!! 100%

Yes, you are very right Ana!
The ellipsen is a different animal indeed, i was blinded by the picture that was used as the example for the model.
Any of them is good for me, both are original choices, although there were some waterbucks made in the 1950's and 1960's , only one-coloured, and much smaller.

It's a blessing in disguise that the Schleich has a very bad line-up for this year because there is a CollectA to save my day!

This is the first attempt that I will buy more Collecta than Scheich in 2012.

Actually i am a kind of happy that Schleich made such bad models for 2012, so we can spend our money on CollectA and Mojö, which are cheaper to!
The only problem is the availability here to, so that will be internet-purchases then.

Absolutly number 3 in the must have list.

I need to buy another nosebag, I hope to be feeding this magnificent creature soon!!!
