Dr.Narayanan CollectA collection

I am really excited for many of those CollectA models to become available. It's great to see pictures of them. Thank you especially for the picture of the Walrus! It looks fantastic! It looks like it is quite possibly a stronger model than either the Schleich or the Safari Walrus. And I agree with you about CollectA Octopus; it is an excellent model and the detail is fantastic.

Thanks again folks.

@Scott - Schleich Walrus [ my vote ] and collect A are on par . Safari one is brilliant in it's own way [ represents a sub species ]

CollectA is building a fantastic sea life range! Thanks for showing, the walrus looks promissing in line with the sea lion that is a brilliant figure.

I had no idea. Thank you for mentioning it! May I ask what sub-species it is?

Up tp now, i only have the Kelenken, from CollectA. But I intend getting more from them someday.

Wow, I like best the sealion!

Oh no, that Walrus and Red River Hog are at the top of my wishlist! Congratulations!

Further interesting critters - really Collect A has improved their standard ....unbelievable esp. 2012

Brahman bull is amazing with grainy texture - a new innovation indeed , and sharp details of wattle, hump , tail , back , rump and abdomen [ being from India , I am able to recognise the greatness of this animal figurine ] a perfect designing

Gosh ! You are getting SO many wonderful models from CollectA

I have been hoping and hoping to get those Brahma cattle ever since I heard about them.
Now at least they have them in USA ( TGF-Toys), - perhaps they will get them in Europe also soon ?

The elefant is wonderful indeed ! AND that Arabian , - your picture makes him look like a DREAM

The dogs are wonderful also, and the giraffe, - thankyou very much for the great pictures, and CONGRATULATIONS with all these beauuuuutyful models

Thank you Susanne granny [ hope u don't mind me calling you granny ....just for fun ]. I am so happy you liked them all .

Phantastic additions!!

Congratulations for some more great CollectA figures! When I entered on this forum I predicted a promissing future to CollectA, unless in terms of quality, that was obvious in their evolution along first years. I'm glad I was right! They really need to descontinue some figures to give a range with higher average quality. :)
I also think that these zebus are really fantastic as most of their 2012 releases. This elephant remembers me a good discussion with Christophe where I tried to show the good details of the figure while Crhistophe was showing the bad proportions of it.
I think we are both right!

Lovely figures Dr!! I especially like the Braham. I think he has just entered my wishlist!!! Wonderful!

Nice pictures Doc! I really admire that Giraffe and I'm looking forward to getting that Zebu (c'mon TGF, hurry up and send it!).

I'm hoping that someone will eventually post a set of photos comparing the CollectA, Safari, and Papo Zebus. (Alas, I can't do it: I don't have the Papo and have no prospects for getting it; and the CollectA is in the mail. In an ideal world, the photo shoot would include Harriet's Safari repaint as well.)

oh, and I almost forgot that bullyland has one as well.

Thank you for the pics Doc

The giraffe is a true gem and I will buy the zebu, it looks awesome

I will be purchasing the Striped Hyena and Red River hog. However, do you think the hyenas legs(Kind of noticed form the photo) are a bit to long? Also, I think the adult walrus is a nice figure, but perhaps a bit to thin?

@ Baltimore zoo ; I feel the hyena's legs are perfectly proportional to it's body and head. You can definitely go ahead adding this one to ur collection .
and the Walrus , though bit leaner , excellently detailed and an absolute marvelous figurine. Pls. don't miss it .

Just like humans , every animal after all , varies in size in it's own species . I am sure , it goes well with the Schleich and Safari ltd. guys . My rating is SCHLEICH first followed by the rest .

Thank you Kiki , the giraffe is a masterpiece .

Thank you Scott , Katty and Roger , for sure Brahma bull is an excellent figurine

@ Roger - Asian elephant , to my knowledge is a highly decent figurine and the proportions don't seem to be bad at all . Only thing is that if would have been in much bigger scale , it will look magnificient .

New additions.....

Female giant sable is nicely justified with fantastic painting and sculpt in different pose


Bearded dragon - really well done with finer details



and the Beluga - amazing figurine

Love the Beluga! It is fast becoming one of my favorite animals!

Doc Three collectors... Four different taste indeed I still don't have the COLLECTA but, between SAFARI Ltd and SCHLEICH, there is no doubt : The SAFARI Ltd is Number 1

I made a topic about the walrus HERE with a nice discussion

I still think COLLECTA made a very detailed asian elephant, alas with wrong proportion.
Unfortunately I can't find the topic where we discussed this
