Congratulations Susanne     

It is incredible but i cant find here the new Schleich animals in my toyshops    

He looks better than the original image.   
Congrats.

Wow, it looks great! So much better then on catalog photo, colour is nicer and texture softer!    I think it's amazing figure! Congratulations Susanne!

Thank you for the photos Susanne!
I really like the way he looks from the front,
but not so much from the side.
Why is that?   

But I do like a man with a nice beard.
I will probably make this my first Bison for my collection.
The paintjob and stance is very nice.

Congratulations Susanne ! I like this new bison, the proportions and colors are great according to me. The head is very well done. And thanks for the comparison between the 3 models, this is what I like best, seeing the improvement in the same species.

He's beautiful!   
Congratulations Susanne!   

Again great photos, Susanne! Thank you for showing!
I saw him today at the store and he looked like a real beast next to the now retiring bison.

Congrats Look's powerfull and I lirke very much the face     I can't wiath to get one and put it with my wild west collection    

Wow, wow, wow! I love it, and I am really jealous of you, already having some nice figures for next year.   Congrats.   

Great! I think this is one of, if not the best Schleich for the year of 2014. Congratulations Susanne again!

I really like this bison... Such a great model!   

I think that he looks much better than the stock photo. I only wish that the face was a little bit longer, as well as the body. Thanks for sharing!    

Thankyou, friends
I will tell him you like him, - no I will whisper it to him,  so the others don't get jealoux

Congrats, Susanne, and thanks for sharing photos. I have never in my life seen a living bison, but I think after have studying pictures on internet, it is more correct that the head on this new bison has been sculpted smaller compared with the 2005 model. I like the new bison.   I wish Schleich will make smaller heads on all their models in the future. But will it happen?

You are SO, 100% right !!!! Schleich tends to make models with enormous heads   

Perhaps because it makes them look more cute ? But this one is not bad, I think   

Thanks Susanne for your great pictures and walk around. My main complaint about previous was because body was too short and this new version keeps being too short. And the problem is not that it is slightly short, it is really too short what removes completely my interest in such a vulgar species. I am much more tolerant with unusual animals than with species that brands are tired and tired of making. Also, they hasn't studied the two subspecies of American bison, I can see characteristics from a plains bison and others from a wood bison mixed, that is bad for a species collector like me. However, I like texture, finishing, slightly smaller head and rear legs. Not bad for a Schleich but my CollectA will keep being my representative of the American beast. Only a little note to say that recently received from Bojan the Bullyland European bison and it is an excelent figure!

In this case the bison has a fairly proportional head. The thing to remember here though, is that most of the size comes from fur, not the entire skull.   
Funny anecdote, when you go to Yellowstone National Park in the Western US, depending on the right time of year, you can see a particular bison bull (my family has named his Presley due to his extra amount of curly fur around his legs that makes him look like he's wearing Elvis Presley's wide bottomed pants) and he will walk up and down the Western road in spring north, then south in fall to winter. No one knows why he does this with out a herd (he's a bit of a loner) and it may be an odd mental thing with him since none of the other bison do it, but he's a personal friend of the family, even though he holds up traffic because he literally walks down the middle of the road.    

Congrats Susanne. Beautiful. And thanks for the photos.     

It is a lovely bison   Head is still too big, body too short    But no doubt it is very pleasant!

It is a Schleich but a better one than the previous and better in real than on official pics   

Congratulation Susanne   

Luckily Schleich can still impress

Aww   

Poor, lonely bison bull   
But what a fascinating story ! Thankyou, Paige

Congrats Bongo. We can clearly see that the head is much smaller than in previous models. Very nice pics, by the way.

congrats
