Horses, musk ox and others from Maia & Borges/Science4you :-)

Look, what I got from Roger

They are the same moulds as some retired Schleich.
But the marking and tags are different :

The lovely rearing mustang Morgan with beautyful paintwork :

One of my favorite models, - the Holstein horse . It is called "Lipizzan", - not very typical for the breed

Another beautyful, old Schleich model, the Hanoverian .  
Sooty chestnut, - now called Arabian

And black. In the shop they called him "Andalusian"  
But he is lovely. Please note that the mane and tail are not just black, they are painted with a more shiny surface !!!

The Schleich Holstein here is called "Buckskin horse". Roger kept this one, and hopes to get it changed to one without scratches

We have already see the musk ox, but now I took the pictures, and he is so lovely that a few more photos won't harm  
Even more important : He was a gift from Roger

Compared to the Schleich Holstein horses ( no 13262 and the lighter bay one, which was half of the team pulling the prarie wagon :

My Schleich Rearing Mustangs are packed down. I will try to make a comparison picture later  

Thankyou, thankyou, Roger, for getting these delightful and rare models 4me

Y'all may already know this, but in case somebody doesn't,  M&B made several other models from old Schleich moulds. You can see the 6 tropical fishes and the sealife models HERE
They also made some poultry, but they are unmarked :

Susanne, it is so nice to see your presentation of these horses and muskox.
They are like Schleich special editions although they are only repainted versions from a long date partner company.
I need yet to confirm but I think they call the black horse an Andalusian instead of Friesian or Arab.
I agree the painting work is very nice but I think they should choose better their breeds. Schleich breeds are much better adjusted to the sculpt than those from M&B. Hard to see an Arabian in that mold, I haven't removed it from the plastic bag so I couldn't see it as perfectly as in your pictures
The color of that Lipi is convincent but the mold is also not adjusted at all. I think they're doing a great work but they definitively should be more careful naming their figures. I have to recall that they call the muskox a buffalo. I am very curious to see which figures will they bring back later, I've heard that they introduced the grey whale calf in their range too. I have to check it once it isn't yet in their website.

Oh, my, they are lovely!! It seems I will have to be on the lookout next time I visit Lisbon, I have wanted to get these older molds for quite a long time. Who knows, perhaps they even have my favourite, the old Thoroughbred...

Congratulations on your lovely new additions! The Hanoverians in particular have such a sweet face.

But, Susanne, the rearing horse is not in the mustang mold, but the morgan. Painted quite a lighter colour!

Ohh, goodness me !!! You are right !!!  
I had completely forgotten the lovely, little Morgan  

Here they are , - Mustangs to the left, and the Morgans to the right !!!

The Schelich Morgan was made 1997 - 2006, - the Mustangs replaced them in 2007

Thankyou very much, Pip

Wow, Susanne, those are amazing! Musk Ox wow! I need that one too.
And that old goose and ducks are magnificent!

Susanne, I was again on Science4you shop and I confirmed that they call the black horse an Andalusian. Not a perfect breed choice for that Hanoverian but surely better than calling it a Friesian, I guess.
I already fixed it on TAI so you can edit your post if you want.
I added also the rearing horse as a Morgan but can Morgan be grey? If not, I add it as a mixed and non breed horse once M&B is not assigning any breed to it.
It is great to see again this topic with the rearing horse comparisons, actually, and although I like best the Mustangs, I am glad it is a Morgan once it means a painting quite different from the Schleich version.

Thankyou, Roger

Yes, I am sure Morgans can be grey

Wow for the musk ox, it is amazing! Horses are lovely also, very nice looking in these new colours. I agree the breeds don't fit these moulds, but the models are very very nice, no matter the name.

I so totally agree, dear Anna

They are beautiful Love the buckskin color on that Holstein!

Congrats my friend

I think you won't find it online. I don't know if it is still available here in local shops but, if you wish, I can check it for you. I only don't know how much is the shipping to the Airport.

The Airport is in Germany. ^^
Yes, please search for that muskox. Thank you. You can give me a PM, when you find it.

I already started hunting it like an Arctic wolf. It seems it is almost extinct but I have some faith. I will pm you then.

The howling crocodile

Love the poultry!

I've found another wildlife figure on Maia&Borges/Science4you range that we know from Schleich.
It is the Schleich 14322 that was available from 2004 to 2011.
Another strange element in this experimental series. The painting is updated and shows a different color from the version I know. The figure is cute but not up to date, so I hope Mojö Fun is not thinking in introducing this figure in their range. Also, they released in 2016 an elephant calf.
I am not totally against the reintroduction of known figures but it should be made with moderation and with very specific figures.

Maia & Borges African elephant calf

Nice elephant calf :)

It is so difficult to find. I can't find

An elephant calf !

You are right. It is a lovely model, but why re-introduce it ?

Thankyou for the info
