so whats yours ???


plus i finally found out how to put pics up!!!

SO i will put up pics of my collection very soon :)

Great that you found out to insert pictures (o)):

I sort of like that little shetland. Perhaps the head is too small, but she has PERSONALITY !!!

Uhh, I love all my models.

But I think that if I fall for the temptation and get the Schleich horses for 2013, it will be the poor new Shire mare.
I will not hate her, but she will never ever be shown on one of my shelves.
A big, strong proud horse, with braids - and a pink ribbon in her tail ! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHH

The new "fell pony" would make me sad. How did they manage to make this beautyful, ancient little horse look like "My little pony "
Nothing wrong with My little Pony, but bearing in mind the history of the famous Schleich horses, this is almost criminel

I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!! the shire is supposed to be a big strong gental horse!! instead its a pretty pony with little or no personality


and the fell ponys are like mini frisians!! so strong and very good hunters!! instead like you said they look like my little ponies

thanks so sharing :)

Let`s hope Schleich see this !!!!!

the last month I have that model in my collection, Now is happy in the collection of Daria.

Bullyland Dimetrodon...the teeth are incorrect and the details are just crude.

Also, this big chinasaur lizard thing. More of a personal reason- and know this sounds stupid- but it keeps giving me nightmares I'm serious, I've had dreams where this thing chased me and tore my arm off.

I hope it too.. Won't buy any Schleich horse this year.. And propaly not the year after that either..

Anyways, I always thought that the old white Hanoverian mare of schleich looked so terrible It was one of my first models as a child and I never ever played with it, because I thought it looked ugly These days I'm pretty proud of her, since she's a pretty old model.

My worst is the old Safari ltd gorilla male from 1996, I have it since my childhood so he will stay in my collection ( he is among only 6 animals remained from my childhood collection )
I have no pictures of it unfortunately, at least no close ups...
It can be seen on this photo, it's between bongo and gorilla female with baby on her back:

Do you have a picture ?

Yes, I have the same feeling

Here it is Susanne, the pic does not give it the best justice, they look weirded in real life.

For me is a good model

For me, the most horrifying model was this Bullyland Lynx. If I thought it was intentionally designed to look like a crazed monster, I might have been more tolerant.

Nevertheless, I admit, I've grown attached to this horror of a lynx. I honestly would be loathe give it up at this point. It is pretty awful though.

I used to think I'd never buy the Papo Lynx, since that also looked awful to me. But I finally did get it, and now I actually quite like it. It is a small figure and that makes a difference somehow. The Bullyland, while it has grown on me, is truly an ugly creature.

No! No! No! No! That is very kind of you, but of course I won`t have your childhood`s toy
Thankyou for the thought.
Perhaps somebody sees one on ebay one day

They even stand on my showshelf, because I think they are so funny

O.M.G

The right Schleich tiger cub is a bit scary... At least when I had received it I was like "what the...... ?!"

Ha! too funny. They are kind of awful. But when you give them the name 'ponytailed vampire-piggies', I have to like them.

ana wrote:

exactly! Britains is so bizarre with the paint.

Two of the sculptors of the old composition animals were completely unfamiliar with Anteaters and Penguins ... but they DID know what Ducks look like!

(It's not every day that you see a duck-billed anteater!)
