Does anyone know if that is really some special horse? Only one store is selling the item so it is pretty weird I think... Or I am just too cynical, because there is like at least once in a month some new horse...

Your supposition that there is only 'one store' is inaccurate - there are multiple stores in China selling them (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou & Harbin), as well as sellers on eBay.com and eBay.de...   

This horse is a special edition designed solely for the Chinese market, much like the white cat in Australia.

I only saw one store selling it on ebay so that's why I was wondering. :) But anyway, I am going to get it because my collection needs it. :DThere is link to my blog below, there is photos of every single horse I have. Soon I hope there will be photo of this Lunar Mustang too! :)

Only Monsterhouse is selling it right now on eBay.com, but I'm weighing whether or not to take the plunge and risk some $$$ to do the same.  I will say this - the shipping rates to have any number of these sent from China are shockingly high.  I think it is also possible to order the special edition boxed set with the white cat from Australian online sellers, but again, the shipping rates are astronomical.  There is also, I believe, another special edition boxed set from ??? with a white ???, but I'm not sure of the details of that one...   

Thanks, friends

There are two many   I can't remember the color of the goat or rabbit?  

EDIT: I found another picture of the goat pack, the goat is brown. Still cannot find the rabbit

Thankyou very much

I have the cat-set, but never heard about that croc !   

If anybody has further info about Schleich Special Editions, - you can see what TAI already has here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
We need photoes of the ones where the text is still red

I found the croc set, but it's out of stock.

  I just saw this too. Thanks Roger!

I got my New Year schleich horse from an Australia website about a week ago so their not only sold in China.   
He is absoloutley gorgeous!!! I'm very happy with him although i do agree that for the high price paid for him it would have been nice for him to have some Chinese characters or more detail in painting.

(Sorry, but compared to Breyer's...)

That Breyer is gorgeous!
The Schleich... not so much.

I'm not interested in this particular item, but I'd be nice to own if it was my Chinese horoscope. (almost all my family are horses in Chinese zodiac though).

If they relese a special in the year of the Ox, I'll be tempted :DD

They are sold in retail stores in four major Chinese (Beijing, Shanghai, Guanddong and Harbin, if memory serves) cities.

Horror horse
Interesting how different the perception of color is across the globe, I guess the red here should mean good luck

Well they are clearly sold on websites on the internet (mine was from an Australian site) as well as stores in China.
You can also buy them from ebay.
