The Yorkie is not the dog from the advent calendar, the dinosaurs that are limited edition on the schleich website now are indeed in the 2018 normal range.

I am overall very pleased.

Thank you for the info !!
When will we see pictures?

Once they are uploaded here >>> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I am not allowed to spread any images onto the forum

Can you at least say if the Tawa and Dinogorgon are at least present in the catalogue?

Also is the ctalog for the first half of the year? or The entire year?

The Tawa is a drawing, but looks very handsome, the Gorgon is already an finalized model and looks pretty nice imho. And this is only the first half of 2018...

Are any of the other Dinosaurs Drawings?

Nope

Sounds wonderful, and i cant wait to get my own catalogue. I think tomorrow.

I'm not at Istagramm, what is happened there? Horse collectors, which think they can make it better, than Schleich sculphors? So it sounds like the german Modellpferde Website, there is every year the same whining and stomping like small children. ^^

the hashtag stopschleich2018 has been thrown around, even though all they had seen was the four horseclub girls, which are admittedly the least appealing of this year but in no way representative.

Thank you.
Sounds really like germans, they only see a tiny picture and believe to know all. Laughable.

I am glad the people here know how to behave hehe

I hope the dinogorgon and Indinan rhino will be nice models, Indian rhinos are common animals in the toys world but I have a bias for them

I promise you, the indian rhino is fantastic, I am not at all biased for them.

Great

Ooooohhh! Dapple greys and liver chestnut flaxens! This could be interesting! And the grey roan blankets! I am now even more excited!!!!!

i saw the horses or the front and i'm reading this ...
And i really think and hope that schleich is doing better/
We will see..

Where have you seen them?

Are the zebras in the catalogue too? If so, will they be just standing and again some Plains zebras?
Fpr the seals, again harbour seals with an white baby?
Does the koala has a baby on his back? And what will be the colour on its tag?
Is the chimpanzee just a sitting and will he be alone? It's really strange that they say that it will be a male but no female will be released.
Is the walrus finnaly a new one?
The panda enclosure, how do I can imagine that? Like a Playmobil-Zoo exhibit?

I hope this answers some questions

Horseclub

13852 - Quarter Horse Mare [Anna]
> Beautiful light chetsnut mare, the braids are subtle and the yellow gummie’s do suit her color. She pose is gentle and her anatony isn’t all that off, she she has a nice structure and is an overall very pleasant model to look upon. I really like her, one of the better models of this year, horse wise


13853 - Quarter Horse Stallion [Dickon]
> He has the same base model as the former Appaloosa stallion, which is not a bad model, he is a buckskin colored stallion with windswept manes and tail, though not as bad as the pinto stallion. It is a very good model and I really like the action of the pose.


13854 - Quarter Horse Foal [Gilly]
> A dark buckskin foal with her tail up in the air, the model isn’t as good as some foals by schleich. She is rather cute, but not cutesy. She gives off a bit of a shy vibe.


13855 - English Thoroughbred Mare [Victoria]
>The same mare as in the set of this year, but in a pretty chocolate color that quite suits the mold, better than the off colored palomino we have this year.

13856 - English Thoroughbred Stallion [Ephraim]
> For now he is just a drawing, but he looks very promising. The base mold seems like the Knabi mare, but his manes are short and change color at the tips, which looks very nice. He is solid black, which really looks bad ass, I hope they pull off a good shade of it, though


13857 - English Thorougbred Foal [Harry]
> AS CUTE AS THE CURRENT FOAL IN THE SET. The deep chocolate brown makes him look even cuter. I just wish I could get him right now. So wobbly and cute and shy!!!


13858 - Holstein Mare [Helaena]
> A pretty white mare with flowing manes and only a few small braids that can easily be overlooked. Her body is quite square, but she has a sports horse pose, as if she is doing an exersize, her tail is help up a little bit and she is overall quite a nice model.

13859 - Holstein Stallion [Baelor]
> A dapple grey gelding, probably with the same base mold as the current Hanoverian gelding. His manes are longer and he looks very friendly. Definately not my favorite of this year, but not bad at all.


13860 - Holstein Foal [Daeron]
> The old hanoverian foal, dyed white with a grey butt and tail, simple as that. The greatest disappointment of the year, not because it is a recycled mold, I got over that, Breyer does it all the time. No, I am talking about the fact that foal are rarely born white, horse turn white over time, slowly, schleich!


13861 - Appaloosa Mare [Aphrodite]
> For now only a drawing, but what a stunning coloring she has, she is a blanketed blue-grey roan like proud looking mare, her tail is on the short side and I can’t spy and braids from this angle! I really love the color, one up for schleich on this one!

13862 - Appaloosa Foal [Freckles]
> For now only a drawing, with the same colors of her mother, with a bit of a bigger blanket, well past her mid section. She looks young and shy and a bit wobbly on her legs, her front knees look a bit bend as if she is only just learning on how to stand up, it is very cute!

13869 - Morgan Horse Stallion [Florian]
> A chunky flaxen chestnut stallion. There is not much special about this horse, he is standing very stationary. Think of his as an adult version of the old pinto yearling. He has the same chunky neck. He isn’t very special, but he is gona move in with me anyway xP.

13870 - Morgan Horse Mare [Jonquil]
> A Sorrel mare with a pink nose. I am very weak for pink noses. Her pose is very well done, but her head is a little shapeless. She looks curious and her body is better done than her head. Her braids are a bit off putting, but her colors are vibrant and make up for it


13871 - Welsh Pony Hengst [Forseti]
> An alert looking little stallion, who’s base was most likely the Fell Pony Stallion. His mane look very fluffy. He is mostly white, but his butt is dapple grey. He has beautiful feathers and looks very curious and sweet.


13872 - Welsh Pony Mare [Cinderella]
> A sweet looking mare in strolling pose. She looks leisure and very gentle in white with brown manes, with lovely feathering. She isn’t as tubby as many pony mares, but the musculatue works well. I like her very much


13873 - Dartmoor Pony Mare [Moana]
> On orangy bay mare in a very curious forward turned pose. Her mane and tail are very wavey and she is on the skinny side. She is very sweet and gentle looking though and she has a tender appeal to her.


42411 - Girl 1 with Quarter Horse Gelding [Jill on Venco]
> Okay first things first, the horseclub girls are all very young girl oriented and their faces creep me tf out! I do like that schleich plays around with more different human characters.
The quarter gelding looks nice enough, more on the toyish side, a solid brown with white socks and white marks on his head, nothing very outstanding yet he is appealing for his ordinarity.


42412 - Girl 2 with Andalusian Mare [Giselle on Telkela]
> All the fab! She has flowers in her hair! A trotting white mare with yellow manes, looking very fabulous with pink and purple accesories, on the more toyish side too.


42413 - Girl 3 with Hanoverian Gelding [Malisa on Toto]
> A grey gelding, looking rather ordinary. It’s the current hanoverian mare. WHY ARE NONE OF THESE GIRLS WEARING CAPS? Safety first girls!!!

42414 - Girl 4 with Arab Mare [Aziza on Fahride]
> The current arab stallion in palomino. I love that the rider is of darker skin, because even a old sour brat like I wants some diversity on the stables xp. It will make the stories more diverse.


42415 - Club Campervan
> Comes with the Anda mare and her rider. Very barbie-ish. It’s a ‘gypsy’ caravan with little accessories, a couch , chair and a little table. Not overly special in my opinion.

42419 - Western Set [Femke on Randyl, with Golden Boy]
> The 2018 Quarter Stallion in light dun, it looks okay on him, especially the brown lower legs. I do prefer the original color, though.


42423 - Pony Mare and Foal [Jeyne and Vallar]
> A sweet looking white mare, watching over her cute black foal. The foal has a white spot between the eyes and looks very fluffy and cute. The more is a bit skinny for a pony mare who’s had a foal, but she looks also very adorable and a bit windblown


42430 - Island Pony First Aid [Lofn and Grewyn]
> Drawing for now, grey roan icelandic ponies. The same foal, still, it seems he is very succesful. The mare is the current mare but with shorter, braided manes and a bit of a longer tail. I like the model and I am curious to see how this type of mane turns out on the finalized model.


42431 - Andalusian Fashion Set [Lucerys]
> The current Andalusian stallion, drawn for now in soft palomino. He wears a purple blanket that I wager one can decorate by themselves, very ‘fashionable..’ I suppose. I love the anda stallion model and I hope these colors won’t turn out too tacky.


42432 - Quarter Horse Mare and Foal care set [Leonette and Muis, with Dunya]
> The 2018 Quarter mare and foal, drawn for now, the mare in dark dun and the foal light chestnut. The dark dun seems to suit the mare very well. They have a little care set and a grey puppy in a basket and is an overall nice set!


42433 - Appaloosa Training Set [Rheago, Alyssa and Tic-Tac]
> Mare and foal are probably the same models and the 2018 Appy’s, I am not sure which color the stallion will be. The mare and foal are both leopard, which is fine but not overly special looking. The stallion is a beautiful bay blanked, with the blanket reaching not past the mid section of the body. I am very hyped to see the finalized models!


42434 - Enclosure for Meadow
> Drawing for now, looks playmobily, probably the type of fence we are used to with schleich, but with a special opening gate and a pained sign over it.


42435 - Little Girl with Pony [Kendra on Sprinkles]
> The current shetland mare, but in brown Leopard, which could look very charming. It is a drawing for now, but the finalized model could be very promising. The little girl and accessories could be good too.

Farmworld

13865 - Texas Longhorn Cow [Verla]
> A black long horn cow with a few white spots on the hind quarters, she is very sweet looking and I really like the almost solid black.

13866 - Texas Longhorn Bull [Maximilion]
> A very cute looking brown bull. He has a few white spots on the butt and his nose is so cute and pink! I really really like him!


13867 - Hereford Cow [Aster]
> Looks to be the current simmental cow, but in hereford colors, very cute looking. I love hereford’s so I am biased.


13868 - Hereford Calf [Boo]
> Looks to be the current simmental calf in hereford coat, absolutely adorable, very curious looking and a joy for the eye.

13874 - Braunvieh Cow [Martha]
> A all new model, with a bell and bended little horns. She looks lovely and very gentle. A nice model for collectors as well casual buyers.


13875 - Black Bull
> Only a drawing, looking very mickey mousey. The tail has been cut and I am very curious on how the muscles will work out on the finalized model.


13876 - Yorkshire Terrier [Charles]
> A barn dog, not a lap dog, buy the looks of it, he is well groomed, but has no bow and isn’t neatly brushed. I like the looks of him and I curious to see how big he is in scale with the horses


13877 - French bulldog
> White with black, very true to the breed looking bully. He has one black ear and a black spot over his eye and black hindquarters. He looks very grumpy and rather funny.


42420 - Bunny House [Knibbel, Knabbel and Knuisje]
> The house looks a bit playmobilly, but the baby rabbits, yellow and grey, are the cutest things! Their mommah is the current bunny but in grey.


42421 - Hencoop
> The current hen and rooster, the current coop, but with a nest of eggs and two little baby chicks, seperate from each other.


42422 - Mini Pig with Piglet [Miss Piggy]
> A cute little spotted tea cup pig. She is very sweet looking. Her piglets we already know, but they make a cute set.

Wildlife

14800 - Polarbear
> A slender polar bear in an allert standing pose. Looks good, nothing very special out of it, schleich improved on the headshape, but the bear could be a bit more fuzzy.


14801 - Seal
> A grey spotted seal in a very regular lying down pose, head stuck up. It is not the most special model, but is well painted and has a good sculpt.


14802 - Seal Young [Rintje]
> Grey spotted, a miniature version of the parent. Looks fine, but not extremely special or anything.


14803 - Walrus
> So wrinkly and toothy. The brown color is rather soft and the moustache isn’t as bushy as could be, but it is a pleasant enough model to look at and he is not inaccurate.

14804 - Arctic Wolf Cub [Balto]
> He isn’t fluffy like his mom, he is more like the old normal wolf cub. His pose if active, as if he is walking around. His eyes are red. He isn’t very cutesy looking and looks to already be weened, for his body and limbs are a little gangly, like cubs who are in the middle of growing.


14805 - Arctic Fox [True North]
> Slender and not very fluffy polar fox in an alert pose. His fur looks a bit dense, but not overly natural. He is well made though and rather appealing.


14806 - Blue Whale
> Pretty similar to the old blue whale, but has a more wide looking throat and spots on the tail. I actually prefer the old model, this one looks a bit grumpy in fact.


14807 - Orka
> For now still a drawing, pose is like one of them orka’s in the seaworld who come out of the bassin onto the stone rink for the trainer. It is not a very natural pose, which is a lot down, will probably look good other wise.


14808 - Dolphine
> For now still a drawing. Looks normal, like Schleich’s former dolphine’s. Is a grey bottlenose with nothing special about it.


14809 - Great White Shark
> The stereotypical great white, pretty much Bruce from finding nemo, but with a duller grey color. A bit too toyish, but not botheringly so.

14810 - Zebra Mare [Zecora]
> Very charming, an alert looking mare. Nice but not special markings. It is a regular zebra, not one of the more rare breeds, which is a pity, but she looks appealing to both the casual buyer and the collector.


14811 - Zebra Foal [Marty]
> An adorable smol baby, has a curious look about him, has a similar patern to his mother, but looks a bit softer. Looks to be a bit of an older foal, not a newborn.

14812 - Lion [Mufasa]
> Beside the cross eyed look, he is a very fine model. A alert male lion with two colored manes and fuzz under his belly. He looks very well made and in the prime of his life. His nose is such a cute pink and his muzzle is a bit white.

14813 - Lion Cub [Kion]
> A bit of a bullyland looking model, an older cub, but he still has his spots, His eyes look a little dirpy and he has a paw raised rather hessitantly.


14814 - Hippopotamus
> Is still a drawing for now, a very regular hippo model, very stationary. Can’t find any huge teeth, which is a pity hehe, seems well colored for now, but I am curious to see how that turns out in the finalized model.


14815 - Koala [Tucker]
> A Koala, likely male, sitting on his butt, front legs stretched out, he is dark grey with pink around the mouth and the eyes and with a liger belly. His fur is very dense looking and he is very nice looking.


14816 - Indian Rhinoceros [Rocksteady]
> What a wonderful animal, by far my favorite wild life model of this year and I am not a rhino fan in any stretch of the word. He has a curious pose, forward turned ears and mouth slightly open. His ‘armour’ is very detailed and he has very well made neckfolds as well. He is going to move in first thing next year!


14815 - Male Chimpansee
> A curious looking chimp lad walking forward, leaning on his knuckles. He has a very open expression and a detailed face.


42427 - Ranger with Trap
> Is a drawing for now, seems to be a well dressed ranger, a cage and the 2017 leopard and a hunk of meat. Not something I would buy tho.

42428 - Ranger with Rhino Starter Pack [Roger with Tank]
> A sportily dressed ranger with an indian rhino calf, who is super adorable, he had his head raised so he can eat from the branch the ranger is holding and he looks so happy and peppy!


42429 - Panda Enclosure
> Is playmobilish… Mainly a wall of bamboo and some branches, but has an older panda cub as set driver, I suppose...

Dinosaurs

14585 - Velociraptor
> The model is now branded LE on the schleich website. I think the green and yellow don’t suit each other, but it is good that the feathers are slowly becoming a thing now!

14586 - Carnotaurus
> The model is now branded LE on the schleich website. I like the slender running hunter type look he has and the color suits well. Of course I make fun of the friggen tiny arms. I like how his tail is carried high and not dragging on the ground and how his scales are so distinct.


14587 - T-Rex
> The model is now branded LE on the schleich website. Overall well made, but I don’t like the narrowness of the head, it makes the beast look sort of derpy. I also think feathered T-Rex would work better with this model’s posture.


15000 - Triceratops
> A brown model with red striped on the back and the frill. He is seems to be walking/running and has his mouth slightly open. Well made with nice wrinkles and scales and the horns seem a bit worn.


15001 - Oviraptor
> Well made! I lack the skill to describe the model accurately. It is a feathered dinosaur, with the silhouette of an ostrich, but with an extended tails and arm-wings with two claws, which are held off from the body. It is grey, white, blue and yellow and seems to be screetching.


15002 - Dinogorgon [Shanks]
> A brown snarling beast with black striped down his back and neck. Muscular, but sleek, a tad toyish, but in no way gastly looking.


15003 - Therizinosaurus
> The current model, but with a dull black/grey color and red fringing on the tail and red striped on the head.


15004 - Psittacosaurus
> Green in different shades and with a very curious investigative poise. Has quills on the end of the tail and pink horns on the top and sides of the head.


15005 - Tawa [Skjelg]
> A slender, brown dinosaur with quils along the spine and thin limbs. He looks ver sleek and dangerous and I really really like it.

Bayala

41463 - Dolphin mother with Young
> Actual girl stuff™. The dolphins are blue/green rather than grey and have flowery decoration and cat be attached to the shell coach and can grab things with their mouth and come with a coral hoop and what the frigg am I lookin at.


70521 - Standing Unicorn [Loes]
> This model is now marketed on the schleich webside as an LE. Looks a lot like the unicorn mares we already have, but with a new pose.


70562 - Mermaid with baby turtle in shell
> A shell case with a mermaid in it with a turtle on a stick.. This is very much for the young girls and I doubt I should elaborate until the pics are here, I think they look scary and the animals are on sticks so not appealing to collect, to me.

70563 - Mermaid with baby seahorse in shell
> She has a long red braid xD At least.


70564 - Mermaid with baby seal in shell
> This mermaid is 90% tail, which is very weird!


70570 - Sea Unicorn Mare [Shierra Seastar]
> Is an actual four legged uncorn, with a slender form and high grey legs, she is white with white manes ending in aqua, purple and pink strands, as does her tale, she is curious look and has a pink shell mark on her butt


70571 - Sea Unicorn Stallion [Davos Seaworth]
> A trotting stallion with purple/green manes and tail. High grey legs and a pink shell mark. He looks fierce, but his ears face forward.


70572 - Sea Unicorn Foal [Seafoam]
> A peppy looking foal with his tail help upwards, he has the same marking as his parents, but his tail is more pink and his manes are only colored at the tips. He has a very active pose.


70576 - Rainbow Alicorn [Mirage]
> A lot like Ilaya’s alicorn from the rainbow range, her feathers are lighter in color and her manes are less braised, but it is pretty much the same model

70577 - Rainbow Alicorn Foal [Prism]
> The foal lis comes with, but with a cream color of fur and manes, the wings are white with rainbow colored tips.

The 13860 - Holstein colt is the same as model number 13730?

Thank you so much for describing, great to see that we actually wilm have 2 rhino models!

The Holstein foals color is called dominant white, they are born white and this color exists in Holstein breed. But the nose should be pink.

I like most of the new models (have also the catalogue now), but why have the riding girls such a evil grinning?
The texas longhorns and the dinogorgon are wonderful.
The dog from the 2017 Advent calendar is not there, he seems to be an unique model, like the tiny ammonites in the 2016 dino calendar.

> For now only a drawing, but what a stunning coloring she has, she is a blanketed blue-grey roan like proud looking mare, her tail is on the short side and I can’t spy and braids from this angle! I really love the color, one up for schleich on this one!

13862 - Appaloosa Foal [Freckles]
> For now only a drawing, with the same colors of her mother, with a bit of a bigger blanket, well past her mid section. She looks young and shy and a bit wobbly on her legs, her front knees look a bit bend as if she is only just learning on how to stand up, it is very cute!

13869 - Morgan Horse Stallion [Florian]
> A chunky flaxen chestnut stallion. There is not much special about this horse, he is standing very stationary. Think of his as an adult version of the old pinto yearling. He has the same chunky neck. He isn’t very special, but he is gona move in with me anyway xP.

13870 - Morgan Horse Mare [Jonquil]
> A Sorrel mare with a pink nose. I am very weak for pink noses. Her pose is very well done, but her head is a little shapeless. She looks curious and her body is better done than her head. Her braids are a bit off putting, but her colors are vibrant and make up for it


13871 - Welsh Pony Hengst [Forseti]
> An alert looking little stallion, who’s base was most likely the Fell Pony Stallion. His mane look very fluffy. He is mostly white, but his butt is dapple grey. He has beautiful feathers and looks very curious and sweet.


13872 - Welsh Pony Mare [Cinderella]
> A sweet looking mare in strolling pose. She looks leisure and very gentle in white with brown manes, with lovely feathering. She isn’t as tubby as many pony mares, but the musculatue works well. I like her very much


13873 - Dartmoor Pony Mare [Moana]
> On orangy bay mare in a very curious forward turned pose. Her mane and tail are very wavey and she is on the skinny side. She is very sweet and gentle looking though and she has a tender appeal to her.


42411 - Girl 1 with Quarter Horse Gelding [Jill on Venco]
> Okay first things first, the horseclub girls are all very young girl oriented and their faces creep me tf out! I do like that schleich plays around with more different human characters.
The quarter gelding looks nice enough, more on the toyish side, a solid brown with white socks and white marks on his head, nothing very outstanding yet he is appealing for his ordinarity.


42412 - Girl 2 with Andalusian Mare [Giselle on Telkela]
> All the fab! She has flowers in her hair! A trotting white mare with yellow manes, looking very fabulous with pink and purple accesories, on the more toyish side too.


42413 - Girl 3 with Hanoverian Gelding [Malisa on Toto]
> A grey gelding, looking rather ordinary. It’s the current hanoverian mare. WHY ARE NONE OF THESE GIRLS WEARING CAPS? Safety first girls!!!

42414 - Girl 4 with Arab Mare [Aziza on Fahride]
> The current arab stallion in palomino. I love that the rider is of darker skin, because even a old sour brat like I wants some diversity on the stables xp. It will make the stories more diverse.


42415 - Club Campervan
> Comes with the Anda mare and her rider. Very barbie-ish. It’s a ‘gypsy’ caravan with little accessories, a couch , chair and a little table. Not overly special in my opinion.

42419 - Western Set [Femke on Randyl, with Golden Boy]
> The 2018 Quarter Stallion in light dun, it looks okay on him, especially the brown lower legs. I do prefer the original color, though.


42423 - Pony Mare and Foal [Jeyne and Vallar]
> A sweet looking white mare, watching over her cute black foal. The foal has a white spot between the eyes and looks very fluffy and cute. The more is a bit skinny for a pony mare who’s had a foal, but she looks also very adorable and a bit windblown


42430 - Island Pony First Aid [Lofn and Grewyn]
> Drawing for now, grey roan icelandic ponies. The same foal, still, it seems he is very succesful. The mare is the current mare but with shorter, braided manes and a bit of a longer tail. I like the model and I am curious to see how this type of mane turns out on the finalized model.


42431 - Andalusian Fashion Set [Lucerys]
> The current Andalusian stallion, drawn for now in soft palomino. He wears a purple blanket that I wager one can decorate by themselves, very ‘fashionable..’ I suppose. I love the anda stallion model and I hope these colors won’t turn out too tacky.


42432 - Quarter Horse Mare and Foal care set [Leonette and Muis, with Dunya]
> The 2018 Quarter mare and foal, drawn for now, the mare in dark dun and the foal light chestnut. The dark dun seems to suit the mare very well. They have a little care set and a grey puppy in a basket and is an overall nice set!


42433 - Appaloosa Training Set [Rheago, Alyssa and Tic-Tac]
> Mare and foal are probably the same models and the 2018 Appy’s, I am not sure which color the stallion will be. The mare and foal are both leopard, which is fine but not overly special looking. The stallion is a beautiful bay blanked, with the blanket reaching not past the mid section of the body. I am very hyped to see the finalized models!


42434 - Enclosure for Meadow
> Drawing for now, looks playmobily, probably the type of fence we are used to with schleich, but with a special opening gate and a pained sign over it.


42435 - Little Girl with Pony [Kendra on Sprinkles]
> The current shetland mare, but in brown Leopard, which could look very charming. It is a drawing for now, but the finalized model could be very promising. The little girl and accessories could be good too.

Farmworld

13865 - Texas Longhorn Cow [Verla]
> A black long horn cow with a few white spots on the hind quarters, she is very sweet looking and I really like the almost solid black.

13866 - Texas Longhorn Bull [Maximilion]
> A very cute looking brown bull. He has a few white spots on the butt and his nose is so cute and pink! I really really like him!


13867 - Hereford Cow [Aster]
> Looks to be the current simmental cow, but in hereford colors, very cute looking. I love hereford’s so I am biased.


13868 - Hereford Calf [Boo]
> Looks to be the current simmental calf in hereford coat, absolutely adorable, very curious looking and a joy for the eye.

13874 - Braunvieh Cow [Martha]
> A all new model, with a bell and bended little horns. She looks lovely and very gentle. A nice model for collectors as well casual buyers.


13875 - Black Bull
> Only a drawing, looking very mickey mousey. The tail has been cut and I am very curious on how the muscles will work out on the finalized model.


13876 - Yorkshire Terrier [Charles]
> A barn dog, not a lap dog, buy the looks of it, he is well groomed, but has no bow and isn’t neatly brushed. I like the looks of him and I curious to see how big he is in scale with the horses


13877 - French bulldog
> White with black, very true to the breed looking bully. He has one black ear and a black spot over his eye and black hindquarters. He looks very grumpy and rather funny.


42420 - Bunny House [Knibbel, Knabbel and Knuisje]
> The house looks a bit playmobilly, but the baby rabbits, yellow and grey, are the cutest things! Their mommah is the current bunny but in grey.


42421 - Hencoop
> The current hen and rooster, the current coop, but with a nest of eggs and two little baby chicks, seperate from each other.


42422 - Mini Pig with Piglet [Miss Piggy]
> A cute little spotted tea cup pig. She is very sweet looking. Her piglets we already know, but they make a cute set.

Wildlife

14800 - Polarbear
> A slender polar bear in an allert standing pose. Looks good, nothing very special out of it, schleich improved on the headshape, but the bear could be a bit more fuzzy.


14801 - Seal
> A grey spotted seal in a very regular lying down pose, head stuck up. It is not the most special model, but is well painted and has a good sculpt.


14802 - Seal Young [Rintje]
> Grey spotted, a miniature version of the parent. Looks fine, but not extremely special or anything.


14803 - Walrus
> So wrinkly and toothy. The brown color is rather soft and the moustache isn’t as bushy as could be, but it is a pleasant enough model to look at and he is not inaccurate.

14804 - Arctic Wolf Cub [Balto]
> He isn’t fluffy like his mom, he is more like the old normal wolf cub. His pose if active, as if he is walking around. His eyes are red. He isn’t very cutesy looking and looks to already be weened, for his body and limbs are a little gangly, like cubs who are in the middle of growing.


14805 - Arctic Fox [True North]
> Slender and not very fluffy polar fox in an alert pose. His fur looks a bit dense, but not overly natural. He is well made though and rather appealing.


14806 - Blue Whale
> Pretty similar to the old blue whale, but has a more wide looking throat and spots on the tail. I actually prefer the old model, this one looks a bit grumpy in fact.


14807 - Orka
> For now still a drawing, pose is like one of them orka’s in the seaworld who come out of the bassin onto the stone rink for the trainer. It is not a very natural pose, which is a lot down, will probably look good other wise.


14808 - Dolphine
> For now still a drawing. Looks normal, like Schleich’s former dolphine’s. Is a grey bottlenose with nothing special about it.


14809 - Great White Shark
> The stereotypical great white, pretty much Bruce from finding nemo, but with a duller grey color. A bit too toyish, but not botheringly so.

14810 - Zebra Mare [Zecora]
> Very charming, an alert looking mare. Nice but not special markings. It is a regular zebra, not one of the more rare breeds, which is a pity, but she looks appealing to both the casual buyer and the collector.


14811 - Zebra Foal [Marty]
> An adorable smol baby, has a curious look about him, has a similar patern to his mother, but looks a bit softer. Looks to be a bit of an older foal, not a newborn.

14812 - Lion [Mufasa]
> Beside the cross eyed look, he is a very fine model. A alert male lion with two colored manes and fuzz under his belly. He looks very well made and in the prime of his life. His nose is such a cute pink and his muzzle is a bit white.

14813 - Lion Cub [Kion]
> A bit of a bullyland looking model, an older cub, but he still has his spots, His eyes look a little dirpy and he has a paw raised rather hessitantly.


14814 - Hippopotamus
> Is still a drawing for now, a very regular hippo model, very stationary. Can’t find any huge teeth, which is a pity hehe, seems well colored for now, but I am curious to see how that turns out in the finalized model.


14815 - Koala [Tucker]
> A Koala, likely male, sitting on his butt, front legs stretched out, he is dark grey with pink around the mouth and the eyes and with a liger belly. His fur is very dense looking and he is very nice looking.


14816 - Indian Rhinoceros [Rocksteady]
> What a wonderful animal, by far my favorite wild life model of this year and I am not a rhino fan in any stretch of the word. He has a curious pose, forward turned ears and mouth slightly open. His ‘armour’ is very detailed and he has very well made neckfolds as well. He is going to move in first thing next year!


14815 - Male Chimpansee
> A curious looking chimp lad walking forward, leaning on his knuckles. He has a very open expression and a detailed face.


42427 - Ranger with Trap
> Is a drawing for now, seems to be a well dressed ranger, a cage and the 2017 leopard and a hunk of meat. Not something I would buy tho.

42428 - Ranger with Rhino Starter Pack [Roger with Tank]
> A sportily dressed ranger with an indian rhino calf, who is super adorable, he had his head raised so he can eat from the branch the ranger is holding and he looks so happy and peppy!


42429 - Panda Enclosure
> Is playmobilish… Mainly a wall of bamboo and some branches, but has an older panda cub as set driver, I suppose...

Dinosaurs

14585 - Velociraptor
> The model is now branded LE on the schleich website. I think the green and yellow don’t suit each other, but it is good that the feathers are slowly becoming a thing now!

14586 - Carnotaurus
> The model is now branded LE on the schleich website. I like the slender running hunter type look he has and the color suits well. Of course I make fun of the friggen tiny arms. I like how his tail is carried high and not dragging on the ground and how his scales are so distinct.


14587 - T-Rex
> The model is now branded LE on the schleich website. Overall well made, but I don’t like the narrowness of the head, it makes the beast look sort of derpy. I also think feathered T-Rex would work better with this model’s posture.


15000 - Triceratops
> A brown model with red striped on the back and the frill. He is seems to be walking/running and has his mouth slightly open. Well made with nice wrinkles and scales and the horns seem a bit worn.


15001 - Oviraptor
> Well made! I lack the skill to describe the model accurately. It is a feathered dinosaur, with the silhouette of an ostrich, but with an extended tails and arm-wings with two claws, which are held off from the body. It is grey, white, blue and yellow and seems to be screetching.


15002 - Dinogorgon [Shanks]
> A brown snarling beast with black striped down his back and neck. Muscular, but sleek, a tad toyish, but in no way gastly looking.


15003 - Therizinosaurus
> The current model, but with a dull black/grey color and red fringing on the tail and red striped on the head.


15004 - Psittacosaurus
> Green in different shades and with a very curious investigative poise. Has quills on the end of the tail and pink horns on the top and sides of the head.


15005 - Tawa [Skjelg]
> A slender, brown dinosaur with quils along the spine and thin limbs. He looks ver sleek and dangerous and I really really like it.

Bayala

41463 - Dolphin mother with Young
> Actual girl stuff. The dolphins are blue/green rather than grey and have flowery decoration and cat be attached to the shell coach and can grab things with their mouth and come with a coral hoop and what the frigg am I lookin at.


70521 - Standing Unicorn [Loes]
> This model is now marketed on the schleich webside as an LE. Looks a lot like the unicorn mares we already have, but with a new pose.


70562 - Mermaid with baby turtle in shell
> A shell case with a mermaid in it with a turtle on a stick.. This is very much for the young girls and I doubt I should elaborate until the pics are here, I think they look scary and the animals are on sticks so not appealing to collect, to me.

70563 - Mermaid with baby seahorse in shell
> She has a long red braid xD At least.


70564 - Mermaid with baby seal in shell
> This mermaid is 90% tail, which is very weird!


70570 - Sea Unicorn Mare [Shierra Seastar]
> Is an actual four legged uncorn, with a slender form and high grey legs, she is white with white manes ending in aqua, purple and pink strands, as does her tale, she is curious look and has a pink shell mark on her butt


70571 - Sea Unicorn Stallion [Davos Seaworth]
> A trotting stallion with purple/green manes and tail. High grey legs and a pink shell mark. He looks fierce, but his ears face forward.


70572 - Sea Unicorn Foal [Seafoam]
> A peppy looking foal with his tail help upwards, he has the same marking as his parents, but his tail is more pink and his manes are only colored at the tips. He has a very active pose.


70576 - Rainbow Alicorn [Mirage]
> A lot like Ilaya’s alicorn from the rainbow range, her feathers are lighter in color and her manes are less braised, but it is pretty much the same model

70577 - Rainbow Alicorn Foal [Prism]
> The foal lis comes with, but with a cream color of fur and manes, the wings are white with rainbow colored tips.

Thanks so much, sounds like a lot of good one

The Holstein foals color is called dominant white, they are born white and this color exists in Holstein breed. But the nose should be pink.

I like most of the new models (have also the catalogue now), but why have the riding girls such a evil grinning?
The texas longhorns and the dinogorgon are wonderful.
The dog from the 2017 Advent calendar is not there, he seems to be an unique model, like the tiny ammonites in the 2016 dino calendar.

The new human models and the mermaids look flipping evil!

What models do you think are the best next year?

Wild life wise I think the Rhino's are the best
From the horses I form now like the Quarter horse mare, but I might change my mind when the appy's are finalized
From the farm life I think I like the mini piglet mom, she is so cute
Dinosaur wise I am very antsy to see the Tawa finalized
And I do like the sea unicorns

Thank youuuuuu!! It is like Christmas come early! I can't wait to see some pictures!
