Schleich 1995 Husky Walkaround

Hey
I just found my Schleich 1995 Husky in the mailbox I thought I could do a little walkaround.

Here he is! He is very pretty, though the tounge looks kind of unrealistic in colour.

The belly and the blue dot

It has very pretty light blue eyes

Size comparison with the old scale (the 2008 Husky in particular). I was a little dissapointed about how small it was, I was hoping it'd be as big as the old scale. This made me suspect some things but I quickly threw them out of my head. However..

The current Schleich scale fits him perfectly! He has friends

I'm very happy with him ^^

That's a good idea, making a walk around of an old SChleich and comparing it with the newer version. I see you are one among many collectors of Schleich dogs that has a preference for the larger size of old dog figures. They changed it from 1:12 to 1:20 to fit with farm accessories, horses, humans, etc.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. The old scale does look a little funny compared to other farm life things

He's a charming "old" fellow

:lol:Exactly! Old dogs are in what is called the dollhouse classic scale. They don't fit with Schleich horses but they work perfectly with CollectA Deluxe, Safari Blue Ribbons and Breyer Classics that are much larger figures as you can see in picture below from Carola. Among them you can see one of the largest Schleich horses, the current Shire mare.

Aawww, look at that happy face, indeed nice blue eyes!
Thank you for the little walkaround

He's in very good condition.. Great find! Thank you for this walk around - I'm sure many people find it helpful

Great walkaround of a beautyful model

I always loved this model !!! He is radiating charm and "husky-ness" with his four paws solidly planted in the ground snow

There are many variations in the paintwork of this dog, - as you can see HERE , a later model had less red tongue.

There are also two slightly differnet moulds, where one has a longer tongue than the other :

The one with the longest tongue has a wider space between the legs, - apparently to make room for the E-mark, which became mandatory...I don't remember when

Nice pics:)

Thank you for the walk around! I think it's a nice dog model

He's lovely!

It is very nice to also have walkarounds of older models, as some collectors may also be looking for those and seek out if they want the model or not

Very sweet model, and interesting how Schleich scale has changed. - and changed back, it looks like

@Roger - I do believe that Shire Mare is the biggest Schleich Horse ever to have walked the shelves yet

Yes, she surely looks big when I see her in shop shelves. Not exactly the best representative of an average sized Schleich horse. Nevertheless, your comparison pictures using her are very useful once it is a quite popular model.
