I think I know which of these we'll both be getting! 

What a lovely King Crab, I wonder how large it is.

It is VERY nice. Maybe better than some of the Japanese companies' versions! My guess it is the same size as their insects, maybe a legspan of 8 cm or so?

Awesome crab figurine!

Updated first post with 5 more: white rhino, African leopard, Indian crested porcupine, sow, and a Knabstubber horse foal

It's really staggering to me what an endless appetite there seems to be for different flavors of horse.

careful, though, you can get both toxoplasmosis and trichinellosis from eating them

I see what you did there

OK, updated with the last three. This should be all of CollectA's extant animals. Not much this year but at least there is something for me.

I'm rather glad there's only one this year I'm going for, I still have to catch up on most of the CollectA I wanted from the past 3-5 years.

Personally, so far, there's not a single model in the modern animals on my list. A few from the prehistoric though.

I was trying to subliminally encourage people to eat horse. Gotta cull those feral herds in Utah.

They tried that out across the ocean not long ago. Safe to say it didn't go as planned

You mean because of the trichinellosis? Nothing a thorough cooking can't solve.

[Rossano]

King Crab,
White Rhinoceros,
Dama Gazelle,
Mink Whale,

are for me must have.

Indian Crested Porcupine

is verz well sculpted but not as well painted, anyway a good catch.

Zebra Foal,
Boar,
Sow,
most of the horses

are really great models but I am not into young animals and farm ones.

My only problem with Collecta is I don't have a shop in 100kms distance where I can buy them, and really don't love buying them online.

[GrampusBlackfish]

I absolutely love that Minke Whale! I will certainly be adding that to my collection. I do kind of wish it was a Northern Minke rather than a Dwarf Minke, but beggars can't be choosers. It's hard enough to find ANY standard size Minke model, and it's a species I encounter quite often. I'm quite sure few, if any, of the passengers on the boat I work on will be able to tell the difference if I presented this model during my talk. XD

[Advicot]

Just received the rhinoceros, king crab, minke whale and dama gazelle and all look great. 

[Stuckasaurus]

Minke Whale:

Wow, super excited for this one! The paint job looks really nice, too!

[Advicot]

You haven't bought it yet?!  It's a great figure that is slightly on the small side of things but the paint job is lovely.

[Isidro]

Is not in my wishlist, the figure is really great and exquisite, and I accept very very small scale for bigger cetaceans but this one is really tooooo small.
