PHOTOS 1: Schleich @ London Toy Fair - 26th January 2017 (Farm & Wildlife)

Ive noticed that too. Their larger animals and hoofed animals are getting pudgier and cuter, with shorter legs. I hope their extant line dont go the way of their dinosaur line.

Wonder if new zebras will be made next year--in more action pose. I do not collect the farm animals, but what a great set of buildings and accessories for farm. They really went all out with buildings this year, including safari/wildlife ones.

Are the Wildlife boxed animals sold separately--great mountain hooved animals.

Why a new eagle--especially when it is horrible compared to the former one.

I do like the new gorillas, but again, why make new ones when they did two years ago?

Hurraaaayy !!! The prince went to the mermaid instead of the other way round ! Equal rights to women and men

Btw, he must be a mer-lad

I agree with Martin ! See the smiling wood animals and silly cartoon-looking orangutans !!!!

And Shawn, - yes, that eagle

And the anaconda, - poor critter has broken his back in two places

But the toucan, sloth and jaguars are fine :)

But the "new guy" isn't the one that sculpt these creatures....
I would like to know what kind of people they are hiring to make these figures?
That "big eyes" and "cute hairstyles" sell is something I believe......

I suppose the "New guy" is the one who sets the standard and style ?

And it must be because the other brands begin to breathe down their neck...they have needed to change/sharpen their image. And this "new guy" clearly has no feelings towards the traditions of Schleich

I am sure cuteness sells to little girls of all ages and sexes

So I sculpted a beautiful, proportional horse for Schleich and afterwards added big eyes and pretty braids to make it look cute.
It looked like an accurate horse and still cute at the same time.
I showed it to the "New guy" and he looked at it and shook his head.
"No no no! This is not what I want! I want this horse to have a giraffe neck, stumpy legs that look broken in some places and make the hooves look like cardboard coasters! How many times do I have to tell you?!
YOU'RE FIRED!!!!"


....true story.
