New Exclusive Special Paint Icey Family Scenery Pack

When I saw the Shetland scenery pack Carola posted ([You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]), I had to see if Toys R' Us would have it too. Unfortunately, they didn't have the Shetland family, but they had a new Icey family I hadn't seen before!

Here's what the package looked like

And the family free!

As you can see, the foal is the same paint, but the mare and stallion are different paint, by far.

The mare is a sort of dark black/brown color. It's more dark, but with a brown undercoat. You can see this in the photos

(This one shows the true color better - it's pretty dark)

And the beautiful white stallion!

Strangely, he was the only one in the pack of the new, rubbery-type material. The mare and foal are the regular material, fortunately. But I think he looks great in this new color.

His pretty face

And his not Schleich-like swishing tail  

We all know what the foal looks like, but I'll post his pictures here anyway

IMHO, the two special paint iceys look so much better in these colors.

Thank you, katewbennet. Yes, they are beautiful!

Congrats! They're beautiful! I love that stallion!

Thanks Kelsey! Yes, he's great!

I agree I like the stallion. I may have to go get this pack, which is a big deal for me actually, since I don't normally buy into the "exclusive idea" but that mare and stallion are tempting me. The foal I would probably just custom anyways. Thanks for posting!

Oh  Nice, great find!  What a change to the characters, with very different paint! The stallion looks particularly good! I never really liked the original, but the all white seems to suit him very well :) Interesting with the material. He may then be the second horse along with Shire Stallion '13 to be made of that.

Thanks for great detailed photos

Congrats!!  

OHHHH!!!! I totally agree with Carola, that the white colour suits the stallion well, - the mare is also much nicer  

They are wonderful !!! Please tell me if you get tired of them    

Thank you for the nice pictures!  
Congratulations

Thanks everyone! I agree, Carola - I don't really care for the regular paint of the stallion, but when I saw the white, I noticed how well that fit him.

That is really interesting! The stallion is the same gawky boy of ever but it doesn't matter, when a horse is white, it looks always fine, unless girls love them like that.
I also agree that the stallion with the original coloring is ugly, even I think a animal toy is never ugly. Though, it is much more atractive in that color. But, you can think in any horse and it will always look nice in white, even Friesians. Have you ever tried to think how would look the Shire stallion in white/grey coloring?
The mare is nice too and thanks for sharing an interesting set with us. :flower:Congratulations!

Thank you Roger! Hmm, I think maybe the shire stallion would look nice in white/grey color.

In Carola's post about the exclusive Shetland pony scenery pack, I did mention that the Toys R Us here in the states did have an exclusive Iceland pony scenery pack


EDIT: I did make that statement, but for some reason Toys R Us didn't have the correct picture on their website.

That would be flashy! Indeed the Shire Stallion could become a much more attractive character if given another paintjob. Personally I find his coat very unappealing, but given a white, maybe light dapplegrey coat could do wonders, despite sculpting flaws.

Whatever preferences people have, there may be common feelings about certain things, such as colour - and 'white, wedding, purity', I guess is how we can relate, and therefore be attracted to a white horse. - and many other reasons probably :)

Ohh, so that was why, I have not been able to find them on any ToysRus' sites. They probably only sell them from the shops   

I looked on the Toys R Us website and there was a icey pony pack but not the one you have. Is that what you mean when they had the wrong pic? I really want those horses now...  

Niiiiiice!

This two sets have the same number.

Seems TRU are lazy with their photos, and they just portray the originals, but they are actually new paints.

I haven't seen any exclusive horse sets at Toys R Us when I was there recently, but I did see the lion family and the scenery pack with the hippo and crocodile sets. The Toys R Us website (at least here in the states) has the Island pony set, but the figures don't look any different than if they were sold individually:

Lazy lazy TRU!

I suppose Orcagirl found them HERE :)

Yes, that's what I meant.

Yes, that's where I found the picture. Not only is Toys R Us lazy, but their "product locator" seems to be off as well. They say certain stores have certain figures but when you go they don't have them or they say they are out of stock but they're really on the shelves in stores.

Surely, I have myself also very common feelings. I enjoy particularly black horses what is a common thing. I also love golden palominos. Maybe you're right about the Shire stallion, it was a random example even I continue thinking that all horses look appealing in white. It extends to other animals and Schleich is agreeing as long as they made a common seal pup in white color, an elephant and a Princess.

Soon all new Schleich releases will be white: white lion, white rino, white dolphin, snow leopard, albino wolf, white doves etc.  Well no, but it sure is a coat that catches the eye, and that which is 'all-white' really seem to do. Several of Schleich white models have sort of grey/black shades(in horse therms that'll be like the new Camargues, Andalusian mare, the Lipizzan). The only ones i can recall not having that is the Special White Friesian and Princess(and maybe Fell stallion? I don't have him).

And all-black naturally, that mystery colour also has a very luring effect indeed

I just ordered mine.
