We recently got a second piece of the old paint variant of giraffe 14028. Both have been produced in Portugal, one from mal 1 and one from mal 2 resulting in differences in length of upperlip (see last photo) and height of the models. But that is not our dilemma.

When comparing the two models, we noticed differences in colour of the markings, but we are not sure if they are common production differences due to them being handpainted, or real variants in colour of the markings as to be seen in the catalogue photos over the years that model has been in production.

Does anybody recognize these differences in his/her old variant of this model? Which one(s) do you have?
Model 1: black knees & inside ears & horns, reddish (lighter) mane, head somewhat more pink than the body
Model 2: grey knees & inside ears & horns, brownish (darker) mane

notice the colours of the knee markings:

this shows the diffences in length of upperlip, due the mal (?):

I suspect that Toy Animal Wiki can help you. You can find there some variations from Susanne's collection. flower
Try to check here and here! Very Happy

The one in the wiki is the one with the grey horns and ears.

If that's one owned by Susanne, then maybe she can enlighten us on the colour of the knee markings on that particular giraffe?

In ours, the knees of the one with the grey horns and ears are grey too, yet the mane is darker than that of the giraffe with the black horns etc.

Your lighter "old" 14028 (middle one in your first 2 pictures) is the same as our light one with the grey markings, so that's probably not coincidence or bleaching of the black, as we contemplated it might be  Razz 

Funny is, that this model 14028 started out as a male, and as of 1994 it became a female  drunken 

Great that you have what we think is the earliest variant of the later model bull 14099 (in your bottom 2 pictures)!   Applause  We are still looking for that one, but haven't been so lucky as to find it yet.

That's an interesting detail once it is actually a female. Maybe Schleich noticed the mistake and changed it. Very Happy
1994 was when last Classics were discontinued and Schleich started working in a more serious way making dogs in 1:12 scale and dinosaurs in 1:32 scale. study :)

Yes, Susanne, I agree that they are 'die kleinen' figurines, but I was under the impression that those are considered a sub-range
of the overall Classics line. Both the Hackstein and Strassberger reference websites list these as such:

Well, I do not insist. I only know from the Schleich catalogue '97  - and from Gascher's  Wink

They are nice, little models, but terribly poor quality rubber ..quite different from other models.

Well, if it's in Gascher's as such, it simply must be true...(you knew that was coming!)... Wink Smile Actually, I'm
not sure what the facts are here; for all I know, you and Frank O. may be correct. We could send a letter to
Mr. Norbert at Schleich, but he has proven to be a font of misinformation (disinformation?) in the past... scratch Wink

My perception, as a non traditional Schleich collector, is that the 96/97 die Cleinen series, are a kind of swan song of Classics era.
As Schleich at this time were more focused on realistic figures the probably released these to celebrate the end of a long era of Classics.
They share a similar design with previous Classics though I don't know how they look together and in real, so my judgement as little value. They also share the numbers starting in 12xxx with previous collections. Very Happy
So, although I don't say it in my previous comment, I share the way of seeing Classics collection with Phil! Very Happy

I never thought of it that way, Roger, but it does seem quite plausible to me... Smile

When Roger and I agree, what other choice than surrender is there?... Laughing 
For our next magic trick, we will agree on the methodology and then use it to
reverse "global warming" Laughing 

As to the others, I don't know for sure. They don't have the 12xxx numbers
that all of the rest of the Classics have, so maybe they are not. Maybe Peter
or Jürgen, or even Torben or Mr. Strassberger can enlighten us... scratch study cheers

Laughing Phil, our disagreements are "classics" and when we rarely agree, we are "Cute Creatures". It explains their contrasting longevity and why there's a gap between them. Laughing

If you and I are now beginning to resemble Schleich figurines, thank Heavens they are classics and not cartoon characters (or braided ponies)... Laughing
