Quick Answer
Choose the UFO Colomba for a more affordable entry into the Rollin' Icons series, or the UFO Canarina for a higher-priced collector-grade piece with a distinct colorway.
Design Heritage and Series Distinction
Both the UFO Colomba and UFO Canarina draw inspiration from the unworldly 70’s concept car era—wedge-shaped vehicles with angular lines and taut skins. However, they belong to slightly different series within Playforever’s lineup. The Colomba is part of the Rollin' Icons collection, aimed at kids who play and adults who keep. The Canarina is labeled as a collector-grade icon, suggesting a more refined finish or limited-edition status that justifies its higher price.
Price and Value Trade-Off
The UFO Colomba is priced at USD 36.30 (catalog comparison price USD 59.50), while the UFO Canarina costs USD 40.46 (catalog comparison price USD 59.50). The difference is modest—about USD 4—but the Canarina’s collector-grade designation may appeal to serious collectors who value exclusivity. If you are on a tighter budget or buying for a child who will play actively, the Colomba offers the same iconic shape for less.
Trade-Offs at a Glance
- UFO Colomba – Rollin' Icons: Best for buyers who want the classic UFO shape at a lower price point. Suitable for active play or as a starter collectible.

- Price Difference: The Canarina costs about USD 4 more than the Colomba. Both have the same catalog comparison price of USD 59.50. If the exact color or series label matters more than a few dollars, the Canarina is the pick. Otherwise, the Colomba delivers the same design for less.
