I think this is the Meh-est horse schleich has ever made. He is not ugly but he also has no charm.

+ His porportions are not overly absurd
+ He has a pout, which means he is comfortable
+ His colors is interesting

- What even are his manes
- Those white dapples could have been painted better
- Demon eyes!!!

Thank you for your pictures!
Agreed, he is indeed ‘Meh’. The only thing I like is his pose and his face.
His colour is not my taste. I think these white spots give him a kind of cheap toy look.

I think that's the one Simmone indicated has in a Morgan's traditional pose. Think as it was 10 years ago and among Schleich 2008 releases, there was this figure. affraid We were more or less educated to accept them as they are now but looking to your close-up of its head, I think not even the horse seems happy. Laughing Though, I think it doesn't look bad from its left side, strangely it is the other side and it is good to see dappled horses in Schleich range. Don't take me wrong not even rude, the true Schleich horse lovers should write to Schleich, through social media or other sources, showing that the way the company is taking is not contributing to the prestige of the company. I do talk by myself, I miss a lot older Schleich horse releases. I remember watching shop shelves and despite not being a horse collector, I always admired the horses section on it. Now I feel like I am too old to collect these but how could it be possible if I was already 37 years old6 years ago? scratch

I think the best sculps on Schleich were like the old Tennesee Walker stallion and the older Friesian Stallion as far as Horses go, as Pony's the Dartmoor stallion is the best thing ever, plus the falabella mare. But from what I understood is that they have a new sculpting team and none of their sculptors are very good at horses, but more adept at Dinosaurs and wild life.

I suspect you are referring to the 2010 Friesian once the old stallion is the 1998 one. I agree, these two, Friesian and TWH, are very beautiful horses. beThey already belonged to my collection before the Amargedon. When I think in a favorite, it is always the 2010 Hanoverian stallion, I think they did it perfect! Shocked This year dinosaurs are indeed better than average and wildlife is now a mix between bad and very good figures. Not as consistent as in the past where almost all had a similar quality but surely less expectable with some very good surprises (not this year).

I just saw the first few wild life models life and they are all better then I expected, even the ones I already loved.

I agree that schleich is tanking little by little. I am not harping as hard as most, because I feel like that would be unfair, since I am still forking over a lot of my money.

I love congas and I can understand when brands re-use the same mould with different colours but using one mould to make just little changes... I think this is unacceptable! Specially for a big brand as Schleich, which has a lot of money to invest in new figurines Evil or Very Mad

Thanks for sharing. Again, this was one of my favorites of 2018. Perhaps it's because he's so conservative. Looking at the sculpture more closely though, he's still a little weak.

This makes so much sense! Personally, I think it's a mistake not to invest in a horse specialist since they have always been one of their specialties in the past.

He is not as screwy as most of this year, but he is not super either. thanks for your input ^^

maybe a bit better than the mare, but still nothing for me - I don't like the conformation (the chest is really strange) and it seems to me like his big neck and head is pulling him forward while the legs are trying to hold him backwards. Thanks for sharing!
