Schleich Chinese New Year

Good evening,
Together with French collectors, we saw two Schleich packs on a second-hand site. We have never seen them before! They have a packaging that reminds me of the Chinese New Year (figurines of the references : 82893 / 82902 / 82903 )
I can't find any information about them ... New fakes or packs from China ?? Have you already seen these packs ? Do you have any information ?
Thank you in advance

I've never seen them before!
I'm so sorry that I can't help more than that, but I'm sure someone on here will know! They look like lovely horses!

I want to say I vaguely remember these from several years ago... but I can't say for certain. They did do chinese new year special figures at one time, they used the rearing mustang stallion for a red and gold special edition years ago. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I remeber a red horse, but have never seen or heard of these before

They look like they are real Schleich models, though, and Schleich made lots of scenery packs , so why not these for Chinese new year ?

Am I right that the models are standard models ?

Thankyou very much for sharing, - this is VERY interesting

A red horse is the 82893 Lune
In my ad I gave the 3 issues of the Schleich Chinese New Year 2014 (Schleich brand certified)
While these two packs, they are unknown everywhere ... Never seen on a site listing Schleich ... On the other hand, they look like the pack from Aliexpress.
Mystery!

Here is the red horse
It is so ugly it is cute

A friend of mine contacted Schleich Germany via Facebook and they told her that the 2 boxes above are Schleich horses that were only sold in China for the Chinese New Year (again, simply no special horses in these packs). We are learning every day!

THANKYOU

So interesting!

Hello everybody,
can someone tell me whether these are all figures, sets and scenery packs from the Chinese Edition by Schleich? Or are there others?

Hello, Torsten !!! Great to see you here

WOW ! That dragon is beautyful

Hello Susanne,
thanks for inviting me to the forum. Now I thought it was time for my first post  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]  

Yes, the golden Auruun is really nice. I like it very much. This is the version with the Chinese Edition packaging (No. 72073), but I've read, that it is also available without the OVP; only shrink-wrapped in foil (No. 72078).

I don't collect Oriental dragons, but that Auruun is lovely. I'd make an exception for it.
Like the packaging of the mare and foal. I'd have to leave them in the box.

I think these are all, or at least I haven't seen other sets on the Chinese market back in the time when these were released as special Chinese New Year editions.
At present, there are some cheap knock-offs, especially of the Auruun model, that are not worth mentioning

Thank you, Maria, for your assessment and expertise.
I hope I never fall for an imitation.
Kind Regards

Hello,
Do you know where these packs were sold (at country level)? China only or also in Germany?

Hello,
I mean that these special editions were only intended for the Chinese market and were only sold there. But I am not sure. The golden Auruun was probably mainly distributed in Australia (were I bought it, too).
Best wishes
