Thank you! Nice to see the Thylacine there too, I did overlook that one. And seems roughly in scale with the others, very cool display indeed. This is an impressive little range of extinct mammals by Collecta, a new woolly mammoth for 2018 would be very welcome.

A new woolly mammoth to replace the old one would be nice, although my preference would be Mammut borsoni, with its 14-foot long tusks.

I can see Collecta making such an unconventional choice.

What i really want from them is a new Paraceratherium.

Columbian mammoth and Mastodon too from CollectA would be more than awesome.

Collecta says that Deinotherium is at 1:20 but it is not.
Deinotherium Giganteum was around 3.63–4 metres (11.9–13.1 ft) tall.
So the Collecta one is at 1:36 / 1:40 and not 1:20....

( Thylacine 1:18 / Entelodon 1:15 / Smilodon 1:18 / Arsinoitherium + Megacerops 1:25 / Andrewsarchus 1:20 / Moropus 1:24 )

Well I said roughly. Scale is not that important to me, unless they don't go off too much. Although not exactly in 1:20 these mammals make a wonderful display and sure an impressive collection in its own right within the Collecta prehistoric range.

Nobody got Collecta Gastonia, Safari Sauropelta and Papo Ankylosaurus to show?  ::)

I'm a big fan of megafauna and I have all of these figures (and I like them very much).
But Deinotherium is totally out of scale with the others; it could be almost double sized....
And Smilodon+Thylacinus  don't match at all with the group (too big).
Other ones are (more or less) around 1:20.

For my part I especially like that the prehistoric animals among which the prehistoric mammals of Collecta are found are scientifically well made and detailed as happens with smilodon and thylacinus. I am not a fanatic about animals with scale, but that does not mean that I would welcome a paraceratherium or a deinotherium at a 1:20 scale that would mean that they were more bulky. And I finish pointing out that for me the prehistoric mammals of Collecta and birds of terror (kelenken) are the best on the market and without that we have to admit that Safari follows them very closely and they have had strong competitors like Mojo.

RobinGoodfellow, thanks for the comparison pics! I knew the Collecta prehistoric mammals couldnt all  be 1:20! also paraceratherium and deinotherium rivaled many dinosaurs in size! wow!

Palaeoloxodon namadicus beats them both though! I wish someone would make a nice big toy of it!

yes the Kaiyodo Palaeoloxodon is the only one i know in existence and quite small too.

...just for fun, that's how Collecta megafauna should be (at the right scale):   ;)



..instead of:

Jose S.M.

That's a great image! Deinotherium was huuuge! And Daeodon I've never look at it's dimensions, it was quite big too.

Shonisaurus

There is also missing the paraceratherium, the mamuth primigenius and its offspring and the kelenken (although it is a bird forms part of the megafauna of the Cenozoic).

Robin on the other hand I agree with you and with the rest of the forum that the deinotherium is disproportionately small, and the same we could say of the arsinoitherium with respect to the megacerops.

Kelenken could be slightly larger, the bill alone was a little over 3 feet long.

And finally another bird to be joining them (Ivory billed woodpecker) after just mammals for so long!


Shonisaurus

They look magnificent. Thank you Robin. Collecta could do a larger version of the paraceratherium and also the deinotherium that I mentioned earlier, as has already been done with respect to the deinocheirus Collecta deluxe 1:40 scale.
