My new Collecta models 2012

I have get the first part of my order from MPV of Collecta models to this year. The figures have a good quality and looks very nice.
Above all the wildebeest has particularly impressed me, but I like them all. Here some pics:

Okapi bull and calf, Black Wildbeest from 2012 and going Ostrich chick and Lioness from 2011.














And my Ostrich family now has four different chicks.

Great catch Ralf, I love them all.

The gnu is indeed very impressive and I'm happy you also like the lioness.

The ostrich family is growing and remind me I must find enough time and enough painting to change some ostrich gender

Eeeek

They are so beautyful, I could cry

I just can not wait to get that gnu, he is FANTASTIC !!!!
And he looks so great together with Joans gnu

And the okapi! With calf !!!!!! I did not know that MPV had the calf

Thankyou for the lovely photoes, I will dream about them tonight

Congratulations and thanks for your nice pictures. Today I also found my first 2012 CollectA. The gnu and red river hog! They are very good figures! :)

Many thanks Christophe, Susanne and Rogério
Unfortunately I have not yet the Collecta Red River Hog , until now only my own model. It waiting for a partner, the Collecta model would be a female, judging at least by Christophe's photos? They fit so perfect together. + = ...

Still no sign of collecta 2012 in the UK, it's very odd because they're a British company aren't they?!

Hi Harriet, actually Collecta are a Hong Kong company with HK/China ownership/management and China Manufacture base. They used to have a UK connection back in 2009 but this no longer exists. Its a wholly owned Chinese Company with no actual UK/ EU connection (except on paper), all products as far as i am aware (outside of horses "Deborah") are designed and manufactured within the China region. I would think the UK connection has more to do with perceived status than actual fact.

Gorgeous linoel Gnu too!!!

Many, many thanks my friends Harriet, Anna, Andreas, Baltimore, Doc, Martin and Egbert

CONGRATULASIONS!!!! GREAT FIGURINE ;-d

I absolutely adore the ostrich family you got here! Really nice quality to the paints on them too!
I still don't see why people place ostriches in Africa ugly 8, They are some pretty magnificent animals.
Well my term of "magnificent" Some people place Lions and Tigers there but I prefer animals like Warthogs and banana slug so

I wouldn't place any animal in any "ugly 8". I think all the animals have own charm, probably even mole rat

Nice to meet You on forum Toxic Hyena! We like hyenas here as well as the warthogs, lions, ostriches, tapirs, crocodiles, monkeys and many, many more

And ostriches are very beautiful birds, really, I never heard opinion that they are ugly...
