Schleichgirls new additions!

I couldn't resist these two handsome guys and I was excited to find out that the trader was in my area and for a bonus was a collector!!! So I got to have a bit of a chat with someone about model animals which is always nice. Esspecially after my mum had just finished telling me that I should stop collecting  
I thought that it would then be better if I didn't tell mum about these two

I have just finished photographing walk-arounds of all 104 of my figurines      I was cramped and sore after hours hunched up with the camera  
So if you would like to see walk arounds of some of my figurines, let me know. 

Nice horses!!

TWH is my favorite schleich horse; congrats!

such nice horses! I have them too, and they are both one of my favourites! Congrats!

Yes these are one of the ones I have been eyeing in the catalogue for a while I am esspecially interested in the lipizzaner because I saw a film and a documentary about the famous spanish riding school in Vienna, Austria, so this horse has a special meaning for me. However, out of the two I would give points to the TWS for his good looks

You got two great horses from the best times of Schleich.. Big congrats on them
Haha I'm sure you better keep your mouth shut about those two Thanks Emma = D

Congrats!

Beautyful horses, and great photos

Yes, it is hard work if you wnat to take many photos of good quality

Hi everyone!

Congratulations! Great gift from our dearest Susanne

So cool!

Hurray for Susanne and Congrats Emma!

Thanks for your nice comments everyone I am enjoying my new figures and have them sitting ontop of my cabnet so that I can admire them

I found this old guy along with two papo horses on trademe in the wrong section. Lucky for me they were in the wrong section or people would have found them and started a bidding war for them. As it was I got them cheap

I had to do some research to find out which year he was made because his tummy said 2005 but the catalogue didn't have him there. I found out that he was made in 2006 so it is odd that his tummy says 2005    An odd mistake to make   Now I have two oldies

Nice new lion!!

2005 would be the year they got the copyright passed on the figure, perhaps late in the year, so it wasn't until 2006 that it went into full production. So not a mistake, just part of the normal lead time from the initial design through to sales launch process.

He is beautyful, congratulations, Emma

All Schleich models have the mark of the year before they were launched

Thats interesting to know thanks
You can see that he is covered in dust which makes him appear a little bit ghostly and I have just given him a wash, it is amazing to see the colour that was hidden underneath him

You've got the scary lion! The older lion, previous to this one, is a nicer figure. Dave and Susanne are right, there's no mistake with the year. Now it is easy, you check the year on figure so you'll find it presented as new in the next year catalogue.

Ive this one too! He's a great model :) Big congratulations, Emma

Congrats!

I thought that I would share this story very quickly with you.
I sat down to breakfast this morning and then decided to switch seats so to see my display case and admire the figures while eating. I happened to look down at the horses and saw something very strange
There was a brown shape of a bear on his hind legs in my display case!!!!!!!!!!!!
At first I thought, I must be hallucinating, I have been studying the movie a beautiful mind where the main character hallucinates.

I thought, now I am seeing figures  

So I left my breakfast and went to the display case and pulled out the bear, nope, he's real

Emma: "Mum! how did this bear get here?"
Mum: "Oooooh, theres a bear in with the horses, thats a bit of excitement"   *laughs*
Emma: *understands and hugs mum* "thank you! What a nice surprise! Thank you!"
Mum: "I saw him in the shop, and simply couldn't resist him, he is so nice"

Incorrectly speaking because I believe that this is the female grizzly bear 14686.

I don't have time to post any pictures now because I have to get back to work, eight more weeks to go till exams and then I will show you all my new additions  
I wanted to post this because it is a symbol of my mums wonderful generosity, because she knows that I have had a hard time the last few days
