Attention Collectors - Unnoficial copied Models sold officialy as CollectA

An email from CollectA.

Quote.
"What is really discouraging is the copycat is a big company with over 150 years old history and now sell the knockoffs in Greek & Italy with TV commercials. That really worries a lot especially they are all straight copies. Anyway, we are not scared of fighting with the giant."
Unquote.

I think it's disgusting what the company did.

Sue them!!!!
I do support COLLECTA all the way!!!
Thank you so much for letting us and me know this.

It`s interesting how they change the Papo Triceratops.
It`s actually mirrored reverse from the original...and the head is more rotated...

Kosta you was to fast for me. I also found this Knock offs in Bulgaria

Oh my so many copies, why can't these cheap chinese companies just make their own designs

Yep so much And those aren't even looking nice... So poor.
Thanks for photos, Kosta

:) Yes, I think is the same.... I ordered from a bulgarian website and they came from Varna....
You said that yours are from Varna too.
I spoke with the guy , who sell them..and he told me that he erdered them from China.
That Gorilla from China..which I repainted..was from the same seller.

Almost exact copies

And they even have the nerve to write "The Authentic..."

The worst thing is that they are actually quite nice So I want to say CONGRATULATIONS with these great finds

Actually, they are made from a cheap material...and inside are hollow. They have ugly grout in the midle.
And the legs (especially) on the deer..and giraffe, are so soft, and they are crooked

I found this copies in small shops with toys , books and other things.

The copy factory is Zhong Jie Toys - but i dont find this figurines on their website

Not nice, not fair for CollectA

Ahh, ok ! Then it is not so bad.
I just feel sorry for the grandmother who buys them for the grandchildren who wanted the real thing

Still, on the photos they look really nice

Yes, the seller who I found...he sells this toys to the small shops.
That`s why I couldn`t buy only one toy from him..but he sold to me the hole box with 12 models..but they are only 5 animals
But they are very cheap. The hole box - for 8 euros :)

yes, for that price... they look ok. They are pretty cheap.

I hate copy of CollectA. Few weeks ago I saw in some shop a nice figurines. I thought "Wow, Collectas!" but there was nothing written on it! They were only copy

Kosta is right. They look nice in pictures but when we touch them they're really bad. Very poor manufacturing . They are here 1,80 €, the same price of a pair of Happy Kin Toys little dinosaurs. I like the dinos much more than these CollectA copies. :)

Yes, but without this copies :)

Like Gugogulo76, no stores near me sell CollectA; any copies I have found have been on eBay. I wish the Chinese companies would just make their own designs I don't know if anything can be done about them copying other companies designs I think something should be done, so then the Chinese companies will learn to make their own designs and not copy off others.

China does not seem to have any manufactures with original ideas. All they do is copy!
They do the same thing to the company my dad works for.
It really ticks me off when people do this, but there is nothing we can do about it.
