Is it a genuine 13115 hannoverain foal in Black??

Hi!   

I had a question about a schleich foal I just brought.
It's the 13115 hanoverain foal, but is is so dark, almost black   

Here's a picture of the lot off Marktplaats.nl (dutch ebay) with a red circle around
The foal i brought:

Could it be that it is a rare colour variation? I haven't seen this foal so dark   
Or it isnt so rare at all and am I missing something?   I havent paid much for it, tough..

Also, does someone else have it that dark??

Thanks for looking, Have a nice day

Stardust~

Great that you got it!

Maybe it's just very dark brown   I've seen a pic and there was a same model in very dark color.. When you'll get it maybe you can take better photos  

It looks to me that it is repainted. If you look close, you can see some red dots where the black paint rubbed off. But it's hard to tell with the blurry photo. You'll have to tell us when it arrives!

What I know is that the older version of this foal was darker and later it was updated for a lighter color. Susanne, Phil, or any other Schleich expert know it for sure.

Jonas, 4U: Thank you ^.^ I surely will take better pics when he arrives, together with his lighter sister   

Roger: Yeah I hope so! Ive saw a pic of that darker version, but it is just me (or that blurry photo) or is this one black?  

That foal is so absolutely beautyful   

I have never seen it in black, but tha dark brown version is not VERY hard to find.

My dark ones are made in Germany and the light one is made in China.
From the design of the mark under the tummy of the foal, it looks like the Chinese one is made later, as Roger says.

As you can see on the scratches on my dark ones, they are painted chestnuts.
However, this little flock is not sufficient to say that this is how it is 100 %...there may of course be others  

It seems they did that a lot, I have the chestnut Shire 13222 and the chestnut Hanoveranian 13227 painted darker, too   

Wow, Susanne! I've never seen it that dark Maybe this one is authentic!

Thank you so much Susanne!   The one on the far left is almost black, so seems that the one i bought is not a rapaint!   What a relief xD   again, Thank you!

I am sure it is authentic

I think the 13115 hanoverain foal is excellent and I like it very much.  
Here is my foal.It's made in Germany.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]" />
Some animal figures keep two paint versions such as the African black rhino,here are my African black rhinos.They are both made in Portugal

You can distinguish them by different paintwork easily.The left one is darker than the right one.
In Chinese market.The price of the rare version is always higher than the common ones.I think you will enjoy your new foal.It is very cute and very hard to find. 

Great, 邪龙   

So the colour of the foal is about the age and not the country , - wonderful Rhinoes, too   

Hello eveyone again! and Wonderfull Foal and Rhinoes, 邪龙 !

Something strange happened   The package arrived a few days back, I opened it, and....

Aparrently he sent me the wrong figure?? Or could it be he meant this one and I was wrong??   
I am lucky i paid not too much for it.. I tried send the seller a mail, But i forgot his e-mail and all the previous e-mails are deleted >.<

But oh well.. Everyone needs a home.. And he looks quite happy with this new adoption family

So I guess ima say: WELCOME AFTER ALL  

He sent you the wrong one! That Arabian foal is pictured there too, along with the black Hanoverian foal.

  Congratulations anyway   

How good that the little guy found a good home   

I also have a dark Hanno foal, but mine is not as black as the one shown on the image:
