CollectA - New for 2021

[OkapiBoy]

Too didn't get more exotic wildlife, I was really hoping for more obscure antelopes.
Basking shark, Longhorn, and maybe donkey for me as far as extant animals

It's very obvious how much leverage Bryer has by the number of horses they have!

Yes, that somewhat disturbs me. Like I said, I want more big wild animals, not just small to medium sized ones. And more birds and reptiles as opposed to all mammals!

I really hope CollectA has replaced either their Asian or their African savannah elephant. Or produced an all new African forest elephant.

I don't really find worthy to replace the African elephant from CollectA, if it has already 2 or 3 of these and other manufacturers produce better African elephant models...

Instead, they should release more wild cattle, Falconiformes and amphibians. So, the only figure I like from 2021 is the Darwin's frog. The rest is not worth to buy.

IDK why these days brands are so narrow-minded...

Shouldn't the female kangaroo be more grey? I just got the Papo kangaroo with joey and I was disappointed that it has the more familiar male coloration, unfortunately, the new CollectA version has the same issue. Is there a correctly colored female kangaroo out there?

I hope they made 1/40 scale arcovenator for 2022.

The best one is the southlands replicas easterrn grey kangaroo but its a male.

@Physeter macrocephalus I can't believe I've slept on that figure! You're right, it really is fantastic looking. It's a shame it seems to be sold out everywhere, other than one italian site that doesn't ship to me.

I'll probably just get the CollectA male and female, and have her repainted. I just wonder why none of these companies release accurately colored females? Hopefully, if Southlands ever comes back, they'll release a good one.

Females living in arid regions are coloured more like males, so this new one is fine.

Well, blow me down. Guess I'll be keeping these two as is then.

I need a female to complement my SR male. This CollectA one is more tempting than Schleich or Safari, I must say

[Advicot]

I personally prefer the Papo, however my collection has just Schleich and AAA, which aren't the best for representing red kangaroos

I found this kangaroo in the page the colors are dull and its a female but I don't know anything about it.

Sorry if this was already covered. Any idea when these figures are officially released? I'm overwhelmingly excited about the basking shark to the point I think I might pass out.. (I collected sharks when I was 5 and apparently removed the teeth of one of my great whites and drew large gill slits with texted as a desperate attempt to transform it into a basking shark against it's will).

I'm waiting on the basking shark who's size will dictate which of the many whale sharks I'll get. Fingers crossed for papo 🤞

The basking shark is about 9 inches
