WIA's

Hi! I just purchased some WIA's from a third party and don't really know anything about them, other than they are absolutely beautiful for their price! So my question is, how do I show them? Are they under Rubber/PVC? OF? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!! Mary

Willow, yes, they are generally entered in classes for PVC/rubber, but sometimes included in classes for Other Manufacturer or included with all other types if the show doesn’t have classes set by specific manufacturers or finish types. You can use the toggle button to see the class criteria when entering classes, but the system will also show them as eligible when you are entering your models(if the host has specified the class criteria).

I’m a big fan of the WIA brand too—especially the drafts—and I do find a lot of shows offered where they are eligible to enter. 😀

One thing to keep an eye on when filling in OMHPS profiles for your WIA horses, is that they're not all the same scale! The 'Identify Your WIA' website says they are, but I've just checked out the info for each mould elsewhere, and this is what they're sold as in the official release blurb...

1:18 scale :
Niklas (Friesian)
Sharif (Arabian stallion)
Arabian Mare
Marwari Stallion
Erren (Criollo)

1:20 scale :
Gustav (drafter)
Lancelot (warmblood)
Vincenzo (bowing)
Birdie and Boone (Mustang mare and foal)

Just to add to Harecroft's post:

CollectA's come in three scales (sizes): Mini, Standard, and Deluxe

a) Mini collectA's are roughly 1:64 scale (similar to Breyer Mini Whinnies) = micro minis

b) Standard models are the most common (with most being @ 1:20 scale), and range from 1:15, 1:18, 1:20, to 1:24 in scale (similar in size to P. Stone 'Pebbles.' Most showholders slot these in a MINI Division.

c) Then there are the DELUXE models; which are roughly 1:12 scale (similar to Breyer small traditionals). These are usually slotted in with Trad/Cl size divisions.
