I love the difference between the old and the newer animals, I like the realistic look of the new ones, but I also love the shabby look of the older ones :)
Please show me yours!

This is a wonderful subject  
 

Great! I'm glad you like my idea!

Is it old and new Schleich only ?

No! Of course you can show us all your brands!!! There are only schleich animals because I only have schleich but I would love too see other brands too!

Very, very interesting !! Thank you !!

Great idea!

Big difference with the lynxes.

And last but not least, my wolves.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

These were all Schleich. I also have the lion cubs, but forgot to take the photos because they're in my trade box and not the shelves. I guess someone else has them as well, or I can post them later if no one else has done it.

Very nice pictures! It does not matter whether they were already shown, it's always nice to see pictures from other collectors

Lovely idea! This is really interesting, thanks for posting your old and new

Wonderful examples, Noora

I can`t decide which ones I like most . They are all great

I love tha badger!!

This is a good idea but too many show us yours in a short time will turn hard to follow for many collectors! :)
As I hope this forum will have a long life I think it is better to give some time between these topics and have fantastic and complete ones as we had before. Last ones are not having so much participation because they are very close. I haven't yet posted my wolves, for example! :)
Anyway a little contribution!

New and old Safari red foxes

Very nice! With the exceptions of the hedgehog and the badger, I like the old ones best! :)

As I am in a Britains wave here goes my old Vintage Britains giant sable and the newer one Britains deetail sable! :)
I need a new old sable!

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Britains vintage (left) and detail (right) sables

Wow, very nice to see them. I didn't know they are so different, I think the Detail one is just amazing! Congratulations Roger for nice pair of Sables :)

I'm a great fan of the Deetail too

Here are some papos

When judging a new brand like Mojo, it is food for thought to see the improvement Papo has managed to give their models
But I still love the old ones, too

I have re-used some of the pictures, - isn`t is great to think that in 3 months time, everything will be green again, flowers, birdsong ! Siiiigh

Perfect, Susanne! :) Papo is probably the best brand to see real differences. Hippos are an excelent example, not only the new one is spectacular as the old one is not very good!
Other examples are also good. It would be nice to see probably one of the most dramatic improvements, the new and old crocodiles. :)
When you have time, it would be also very nice to see the red deer stags, we hardly see that they are from the same brand! :)
Curious are also the bisons, in some points the previous one looks better!

Interesting comparisons,thanks Susanne.

Even if I cannot really judge this ( ) I think the biggest improvement is seen with the horses,their differences are amazing!
And because of this I also had almost bought the Papo Percheron mare,can you believe it?

Gosh

Vivien almost bought a mosel of a HORSE
That prooves the quality of the Percheron mare, if anything does

Sure, Croger, - here are your friends, extra toes and all

And my beloved stags, who haven`t left my "showshelf" since I got them.
So, sorry if there is still a bit of dust on them
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I love the pictures! Fast and eficient! Thanks, thanks!!!
It is really huge the difference between the crocodiles, the new one is by far more detailed, much more teeth, more scales and less toes!
Deers are terribly different, they don't even look the same species but we already know that in France adulte red deers had spots until this year!

You are wellcome, Crogerbert

Thanks for your kind words

Yes, perfect examples Susanne Wow, the improvement in Papo models between first and second aditions of species! Hippo and croc are examples of huge jump in quality in this brand Thank You for sharing Susanne :)

Thankyou, Ana

They are wonderful, Martin !
I love especially the elefant babies, - and the moose

Here are some that a even a bit older

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

You are right ! That old Schleich wold fis fantastic

Those were the days when Schleich made models with personality and expression

It´s a wonderful topic! Here are some giraffes.

The oldest one is on the far left side, then follows the bull of 1994. Next are mother and child from 1999. At the end on the right, female giraffe and her baby from 2004.

Aaaarh ! Yvette, what a beautyful. wonderful, lovely flock

Especially I love those oldest ones ! They have such charm and lots of expression

Thanks for these lovely pictures, Yvette! :)
I enjoy really these comparison pictures.

Thanks, Roger and Susanne!
You're right, Susanne. The old animals are so full of expression.
This is one of the reasons, why I just like these old models.

One more from Britains, this time the old and larger one called Vintage and the newer one, smaller and called Deetail.
Bactrian camel foals

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

They are SO lovely, Roger !

I am really impressed by the quality and diversity of your Britains collection
You have not collected them for very long, and already you have such rarities

The newer camel baby has a special place in my heart, because it was one of a few that I bought many years ago, in the middle of the 1970`s if I remember right.
I was looking for Reisler, but the shop didn`t have them any more, so I chose some from a brand that I didn`t know...they we Britains

wow. Very cool Roger!

This is such a great topic; I have to try to make a useful contribution.

Two Schleich Ibex. The first, on the left, is 14235 from 1996-2005. The second, on the right, is 14366 from 2007-2010. I'm still surprised they retired either of them.

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

I'm pretty sure I like the older one better. And this is not just because I like older models. In most cases, I prefer Schleich models from the 2000's rather than the models of the same animals from the 1990's. But in this case, the older Schleich Ibex is just so beautifully sculpted. The muscle definition and the face are lovely. The more recent one is painted nicely, but the older one is arresting.

That old ibex is marvellous, - I totally agree

Wonderful photo, showing every detail, thankyou very much, Scott

Thanks Scott, you are not the first member saying that the old Ibex is better! That's very interesting once I have the newer one, I'm happy with it, and I'm really curious to compare them in real life. Your great picture makes me think that you are right! :)

With help from great friends I have been able to get the old Clydesdale-family from Safarai

So, I just COULD not resist the newer mare and foal
here they are together with the happy, older mare and her charming baby


I must say I like the older ones best, even if their expressions are a bit cartoon-ish
