I stopped at the local Tractor Supply today, and they had a very small amount of new figures.

I have to say, I'm very disappointed. Not that I'm surprised.

I got the "new" Angus bull and calf, so I could see the difference between the new and old ones. I also picked up the Arab foal, he's pretty cute, but not too cute. Wink

Here are the Anguses. "New" ones have the tags.

The bulls aren't too different. The old one has painted hooves and a tad more shading, where the new one is simply black. The calves, however, are much different. The old one has a brown undertone, and the new one is basically solid black. I think the new calf is made in black plastic, where the old one is in brown.

Thankyou VERY much for this interesting topic !!!! Applause 

But NO applause for Schleich ! They could have changed the models, instead of just making them cheaper, couldn't they ?

I am curious, - do they have the same marks on the belly, - year and such - too ? Shocked

That is really interesting, now we know that Schleich used the same molds to save money and introduced a cheaper and simpler painting. I know the main competitor in USA is Safari and that their paintings are not the best but I am not sure that it is a correct strategy to a market so important as US market is.
I know that petrol derived products are more expensive these days and also some safety restrictions made some cheaper materials turn not suitable but I confess I wasn't expecting to see paintings decreasing in quality in almost all brands. Black is surely a cheap painting once together with these Angus, we can remember lots of Safari black figures these 2 last years. Very Happy

It is the same as the old pelikan. Some years later (just one year? scratch) it was just avalaible in the USA, with another painting. Smile

Perhaps there is a lot of cheap, black plastic on the market these days ??? scratch Rolling Eyes Laughing

That's interesting. The new bull looks good to me. The texture is better, more muscles and details.
I still need to say I like the old one more.
Best wishes, Old trash lover..

The calves are just lovely drunken I think it's nice they are different size!

Awesome that you got them and showed for us! Big congrats cheers

Thanks friends! cheers

Both calves are marked 2002, and both bulls are marked 2003. The new ones are both marked with the new marking, the with "Am Limes" info.

Why? Laughing scratch There's the new address and they changed the models little bit so why there's still ´03?
Strange.
