Wonderful Slow loris from Schleich 2022 ( Item no 14852 )

Most of us were probably delighted when learning that Schleich - of all brands ! - is launching a model of this charming animal this year

Fortunately the post system was fast, because it was hard to wait from I ordered it from Germany, until it arrived here in the middle of nowhere in Denmark

So as I was asked for photos , I am delighted to show you a walkaround

Going through my pictures of Lori , I became double happy :
I am very, very near sighted, and my powerful glasses make things smaller, so seing the details blown up on the monitor was somewhat of a relevation

Sorry if I upload too many pictures, but look at the perfect expression in the little face, and all the details in the fur and paws etc.

Please take a look, and hopefully you will share my joy

THIS is what Schleich should be making, it looks great in their style. Thank you so much for sharing this model and your joy with us!

Thankyou, dear Paige

Yes ! Schleich CAN make brilliant models , even if they have big heads

This Slow loris is a hit ! Thank you Susanne for sharing 

Could you show pics with the Eikoh one please ? 

Nice. ^^

Thank you so much for this walkaround! I admit this model looks much better than I thought it would turn out. I can’t wait to get one for myself

I am so happy you opened this topic.
I second Paige's words and that's what I expect from Schleich. If they want to sell cute animals, just release cute animals. It is much nicer when the cute animal is a slow loris instead of a koala. Fennec was also a good choice under this concept even if the result was not as nice. I am really happy with it and I will surely want one in my collection.
Well, is anyone trying to suggest a species for this animal? It is for now as a Bengal slow loris on TAW but Susanne and I lean to a Sunda slow loris. Any suggestions?

None of the slow loris figures to date are marketed at the species level and none of them have enough detail to determine a species (however I would bet they were all based on the Sunda slow loris, esp. the Natural History figure). It's probably best to leave them all at the genus level for TAW and let the collector make their own decision.

For me, I have the Natural History figure as a Sunda and the Eikoh as a pygmy, because it's smaller :). I have no intention of getting this Schleich one, however.

A little late for my zoo but very nice. So i will include this lori in my zoo.

OK, I renamed the page to slow loris once these species are very hard to distinguish. Though, the Naturally Adorkable is listed on TAW as a Bengal loris, I know the box reads the scientific name, you probably don't have the box anymore to confirm it, right? I can also try to search on forum later...

I never had the box, so if it was marketed as a Bengal, than that is news to me!!! Thank you!

EDIT: A Bengal makes more sense, since everything in that set (except the 'secret' sloth) is from China!

EDIT EDIT: My original post on ATF indicates the manufacturer sold it as a Bengal. I totally forgot LOL. I need to remember to check my own references sometimes

Oh, it´s adorable!

It's such a beautiful model! Thanks for presenting it!

Wow , this Slow loris is really wonderful
I understand why you made so many photos of it Susanne and I thank you for them.

Thankyou, friends

Wonderful photos

Great model and lovely photos!

Christophe asked for a comparison with the EIKOH loris

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

If this was in Danish, the picture would contain 3 loris, because a loris is called "en lori" in Danish, and so is a lorkeet

In this 2022, the lori is my favourite model from Schleich.

Congratulations Susanne.

Thank you Susanne for sharing so beautiful pictures of a so beautiful model! I am sharing your joy!

Luckily for us, this animal already looks adorable by itself, so Schleich didn't have to add braids or a smiley grin to make it look cute.
I personally think the figure, over all, could've gotten a little bit more love from the paint department on the fur and feet. Then it would really be a stunner. But we all know life has been crazy for a couple of years unfortunately.
We are lucky we are getting new figures for 2022.
So I'm very happy with Lori.

Thank you Susanne for the pic 

I thought it would be far bigger and it looks even more beautiful now.

Seeing that it is a small size makes me love it even more! For some reason I thought it would be much larger. I can't wait to get one!

Thank you fort the review and the photos It looks very nice and now I think it has to join my collection, too :)

Thank you for this conversation :) So, maybe I should add the loris as sunda , as I´ve listed my Natural History figure as Bengal, too :) And after Blaines idea with the Eikoh size, it makes sense for me :)
