Schleich 2012

If you look, all the dinosaurs are much smaller then the ones they have retired, and hence cost less, in this way they are all new figures. Shame as I loved the big dinos, the new brachio would have been great if it was big, great pose with the neck not straight up! The new trike looks gr8 as well.

Not sure what those horse/deer/goat things are in the elves, they look weird!

Fighting rhino with gladiator looks a little unusual and is very expenseive at nearly 45 euro !

Bew riding set and petting zoo look ver nice to me also.

I like the new red dragon and some of the farm animals. And what are those things it looks like a unicorn mated with a deer LOL I want to see those story book thinks up close to see what the figures look like that come with them.

Ok I can't take it I have to say something about the people

Is the pig that heavy he has to hold his arm out for leverage.

Where did you see the dinos are smaller Andy ?

In such a case, it is even worse for me. Not because I absolutely want more SCHLEICH dinos but because it would mean they changed the sculpt without correcting their BIG flaws

I looked at the price of around 15 for the brachio and thought it was odd, the size is above the prices, and indeeed, the figures are smaller than the ones schleich had. All they did was alter the moulds a little, make them smaller and give them a new colour. Their 1:40 line was very good, why stop?

little known fact: fuchsia pigs weigh three times what regular colored pigs weigh.

that almost looks like a marijuana leaf on her pocket, which would explain a lot.

Just had a look at the German website with all the photos.

How strange and unusual are those Unicorn type fairy animals that come with the elves? They are really unusual, different but certainly a treat to look at. Unfortunately I cant collect them, even though I do as they are all make believe animals.

As for the Heroe's set - I am really amazed that we have the fighter Rhino and the Hyena. They are both incredibly detailed in absolutely stunning poses - poses that are far superior than many of the animals in the general range so why on earth cant add these animals to the current range. I doubt that the accessories and armour on the Hyena and Rhino are removeable which is a real shame as Schleich would have benefited from extra sales from animal collectors if they produced the models without all the additional add-ons - the same with the white fighter elephant. What is wrong with Schleich? Why dont they listen!

Also with the baby animal and book sets I see a baby black panther! It is just a black version of the current panther but still I would have to buy the set now just to get the baby to add to the black panther from the Noctis range- it has to be done but so unneccessary!.. Ok my rant is over.

Merry Xmas everyone!

He's holding out his left arm for leverage as a counter-weight to his belly, not the pig...

Marijuana leaf? Well, maybe so, as it's well known that higher states in consciousness in humans are causally linked with bunny worship...

$$$CHLEICH strikes again...!!!

If the figurines are smaller, it will probably mean that the flaws are even more noticeable. And annoying.

true. let us hope she grows in her spiritual journey and finds that what bunnys worship is red wine.

I really like the new riding set, that's something a bit different :) I was expecting more riding sets though, cuz so many are to be discontinued. Well, maybe next year, or the one after that... Shouldn't be too impatient! And I l o v e that new horse trailer! I don't really have any space for it and I could think of ten other uses for the money it takes, but still I must have it. You know what I mean? The new trailer is a bit more realistic than the old one, has some interesting details. Though it doesn't appear to have anything to tie the horses into. Do they think that people transport horses loose...? Anyway, I couldn't see any information about when these new things are coming out, May or September? Did anyone else catch that information?

I like the asian creature and the forest unicorns. Schleich has a feeling for fantasia.

And the red dragon with the young rider is the first one from this, that i like. Normally i don't collect dragons, but this one, i must have. The new stegosaurus looks also good. For me as a stegosaurus collector, it is a must.

With the fighters rhino i think it happens the same like the white elephant. First expensive, but after a few weeks or months, it will be cheaper. So i get the fighters elephant for € 25,99.

The only bad thing: No new roedeers. Perhaps 2013.

A Toystore on Ebay Germany is offering all the new models for 2012, most of them are available now ! There are some new picture sof the new models, and they are looking unbelivable ugly, more than the present pictures here ! The gorillas, the polar bears, the panda, some of the horses and the elphants, I can't belive it, how dissapointing they are look ! Sorry to destroy the hopes of some collectors the models could be look nicer in real than on pictures.....

I don't why Schleich has stopped the high, natural quality of the past years, maybe for financial reasons.

2012 is the first year, I will not buy all Schleich Models, but the good news are-Mojo and Collecta save the year !

i agree you are right ! i'm not sure what happened there...i ask myself if someone from schleich's staff read our opinions...

They say the new 2012 dinosaurs Allosaurus, Gigantosaurus, Spinosaurus, Velociraptor, and T-rex have a moveable jaw. Is it true?

Yes, those are already very popular in Papo and Bullyland figures! :)

Okay, I see the Shropshire sheep, but where is the "Shropshire Lad"...(arcane literary reference intended for devotees (like myself) of the work of A.E. Housman)

I love my Schleich lynx and I am wondering if the Mojo lynx is just a copy of Schleich? Mojo has some good animals and some really awful ones and the quality is simply not stable. The good ones seem to be a copy of established brands such as Schleich, Bully or Papo whereas the lousy ones might be own developments.
Schleich has been doing a good standard and new models for so many years and that's why they are my favourite.
