The First CollectA's came in for March 2012...

It seems, as i had a real CollectA time last week...
First i had 3 wonderfull figurines from Rogerio in a trade, at least more or less, as some good friends here on the forum don't really look what they are sending to eachother, everything with closed wallets, and regardless what a figurine is woth, and i can only welcome, wish andrecommend that very much!
So thank you all very much in the first place, a lot of you make me a happy man on a regular basis, with loads of surprises coming in from time to time!
These are the 3 from Rogerio.


The giraffe, peregrine falcon and barnowl

Thanks again Rogerio!

Then i had to go to another city last week for some other business, and when this was done very quickly, i took the advantage to go to the zoo there(from which are some pics coming in another part of the forum), and i this zoo-shop they sold collectA, instead of the normal Schleich and so on, and i picked out quit a few of them, as my money i had with me allowed me.
Here they are.

Thank you all very much my friends!
I am very happy, that i finally could add some more CollectA's to my collection!

Well Carolynn, the man didn't do anything, he is just checking if everything on the model is ok, so he has to check the rearside to, besides that, he is smoking a pipe, to cover up the bad smell...
Besides that, the baboon is female, and attracted by this man, so she shows him what she has to offer him!

They are all beautiful! Keep it up with the nice additions!

Willy, be careful, I'm afraid the man will have a little surprise!

I think he should be carefull, not me, haha...
There is all kinds of love these days as you know.
This baboon looks female, but isn't indeed...
The first Schleich giraffes are marked as females, although they have the male detail on them, only in the third version with reddish spots, this detail is gone...

This one is the male Willy, ask your BRITAINS controller

I must buy this guy glasses, as i did see it(afterwards), but the controller didn't...

Beautyful models, Willy ! Congratulations

Those lions are much nicer than they look in the catalogure !
And I LOVE your collection of falcons
