For these first releases, these are my choices:

YES:
Amazon river dolphin
Jersey cow

MAYBE:
goblin shark @suspsy - any idea of the size? I am unsure if I want to replace my Colorata version
Hadrosaurus - unless Safari releases (or announces) one before this one is released
Mustang - if this represented a 'wild mustang' I'll get it; if it's a mustang-like domestic variety, no

The goblin shark is 20cm long and this one looks to be a male

Yes: Amazon river dolphin
      Goblin shark
      Jersey cow
      Hadrosaurus

Shaping up to be a good year for CollectA!

[suspsy]

That goblin shark looks awesome. Great choice, CollectA!

[bmathison1972]

CollectA is starting off with a bang! Although if 20 cm, I might stick with my Colorata goblin shark

Speaking of goblin shark, I hope someone makes it the 2023 Halloween review. Hint hint, @Gwangi @suspsy @JimoAi

[JimoAi]

Hopefully we see a spotted eagle ray! I'm dying to get a definitive version of a very popular species! I sound like a grandpa gain don't I

I would be happy to make that happen. Although it would be hard not to cover it for Shark Week.

Go for it! I doubt I have time and energy for new figure reviews atm. Heck I still got some I've reserved. But I'm confirmed getting one out by February 7!

[Arctinus]

Ooh, I'm definitely getting the dolphin and the shark.    This looks like a nice start. I just hope Collecta keeps 'em coming.

Halloween is definitely a more fitting time for a goblin shark review.

[Dusty Wren]

That dolphin is fantastic. Hats off the CollectA for choosing to make under-represented animals, and for doing it so well.

Also, I haven't collected horses since I was a kid, but both the morgan and the mustang are making me want to take it up again.

It would probably have to wait until Halloween anyway, given the pace at which I review new CollectA figures. Still have the 2022 releases I reserved that I need to review.

[bmathison1972]

Removed the mustang from my wish list; it's a wild mustang, but it's a Deluxe figure in the 1:12 scale which means nearly twice as big as a standard horse, such as the few others I possess

[EpicRaptorMan]

Hell yeah, Goblin Shark. I was *this* close from finally pulling the trigger and buying the Colorata one (which I think is a bit small)

Hopes this is of decent size.
The Pink River dolphin is also another highlight to go well with my Ganges River dolphin

[SerAndrew]

Good!

[NSD Bashe]

Nice, another epic deep sea animal from CollectA.  I wonder if they'll put one out every year...

20cm for the goblin seems a bit big...

Do we know the size of the dolphin??

[Isidro]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH finally finally finally a boto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fantastifabulous rendition to this dolphin, zillion times better than the obscure, hard to get and slightly too large Play Visions one!!!! This go STRAIGHT to my wishlist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I peregrinated to Duisburg before it was too late and this species have a special significance for me. I will be very very glad to have one in my collection!


Goblin shark is also the best one in quality and much better than any Japanese rendition, but I readed over the posterior comments and it's 20 cm lenght... so definitely not for me. It's bigger than my great white.

I don't collect domestics nor prehistoric, but I admire the very good quality of the cow. CollectA managed to keep their quality seal over the years, something that Schleich failed sometimes.
