Yes ! WOW !!!!

Arrrgh, MPV, get moving your behind !!!!

This is definitely the best Antelope model of the year! (and the Schleich Zebra is also very fine)

Very big but very fine antelope Numaan, again I thank you for the pics... Now I will suffer more until it reach my display

Thanks for showing Numaan! It is a very nice antelope and I'm also eager to have it in my collection! CollectA not only made a good work as made a design that will please a lot the typical Schleich collector. The traditional pose and a touch of cuteness. But in an improved way.

By looking at the photo, I may say that is most beautiful figure in 2012 IMHO. Thanks for the photo!!

Thanks everyone. Yes you are right Roger, it is a traditional Schleich pose - I never thought of that. I do love this figure.

You know at a time when Schleich is starting to become boring and uninteresting other brands are picking up. I just hope things get really better from now on.....

I also believe I'll love that figure and it's good that it has some "commercial" apealing because the hobby is very bored when brands only make polar bears, elephants and so. How nice is to see these less known species in the market and so nicely replicated. I am sure CollectA will follow that strategy, Mojo we already know about it, Safari always did. Now it is time to other brands follow but they will only do it if these figures are successful what I hope honestly!

he is great looking--really like the stance and the look in his eyes. of course i would like him a little more to scale with the others but it will not stop me from getting him!

Numann big thank you,
It is magnificent, and I love it since I saw the first images.
It is among my wish list a number of figures collected a 2012!
He will be enthroned perfectly on my shelves, with my test house sculpture of a Watterbuck!
Thank you fantastic! I can not wait!

Hi Numaan!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures that you added the comparison Schleich Wildebeest and zebra and waterbuck CollectA ! Thank you ! ! !
One question-why do you need a sticker on Schleich Zebra and Wildebeest on the leg?

Daniel, many collectors prefer to keep the tags (the "stickers") on the animals. It is a matter of preference. But regardless of individual preference, often the price of a figure is higher -- on eBay for example -- if the tag has not been removed.

Of course in some cases, one may need a tag to keep a broken leg from falling off. Perhaps that poor zebra would fall over without its tag.

Like some of the others have mentioned, what an incredible model!!! I will add him to my very small brand name collection but
I wish it was smaller, it is much too big to be displayed on the diorama.

In my view, these labels should be discarded immediately after getting home figurines, or even come off and hide somewhere and not keep clinging to the statue because it did not originally look-no because in collecting animals is not just about who has the most models, only about who has the most thumbnail in the wild species, such as zebras, and zebras in the wild do not have a label stuck to the legs ......

There is large. It is about the same as zebra Schleich (such as size, of course, waterbuck, near Grant's zebra) so if you have a diorama Schleich zebra, waterbuck are also suited .. You can make the diorama, a little down in the tall reeds and put Collecta waterbuck and there will seem lower by the fact that the bottom is a small, but it will fit perfectly into the marshy terrain
