The new Icelandic mare for 2015 :-D

Seing this model in the catalogue, my reaction was : EEEEK ! SO ugly

Having her here, my reaction is  : Ohhhh ! So lovely    

Her legs are not the short , straight poles that they look like in the catalogue, and this time Schleich has actually given an Icey a real Icey-head  
Well, I have never seen a mare with a mane that huge ( except at shows, where they cheat and add artificial hair), and as always the proportions are wrong, - but who cares ?

I LOVE HER

Ohh, yes, the old tölter is my favorite also, - but the new one IS lovely, - esp the face..a bit like Little Ida, I think

She is gorgeus  
Congradulations Susanne!

Congrats with your new icey. She is lovely.
Thanks for the walkaround and the family portrait.
I got her last week, and I bought the old one too at the same time. She was the last retired icey in the shop, so the two girls became friends, and are happy together in my home.
(I also like the old best.)

Thankyou, Emma and Tove

Tove, - it is such a joy to see you here again
Congratulations with your two girls

I like that model. Unfortunately I've seen some which are really orange

The neck is somewhat long but still a cute model

Lovely. Congrats :)

oh the evolution... I love that this mare and the stallion look like they belong in a shampoo commercial. Something about this one though is charming. Congrats!

Congratulations Susanne :)

Me too... By far

nevertheless, I love the hairy style of the new one I want the same for me

Oh she is very sweet Her face is adorable and very ladylike, I think.

I'm happy you like her As a long time Schleich collector as you are, I suppose it's great to find someone in the new lines, that can still capture your emotions in a way?
I often wonder if die hard Schleich collectors leave the brand/the horses because of the drastic changes from the past few years.

Do you have all of the new 2015? Who is your favorites and not?
Just curious

(Btw. Danish info; I saw in several of my local Nettos that they had Mojö animals in their 'spot' departments. Just a limited selection thrown into a pile...
I saw the Suffolk foal, Golden Retriever, Wolf, and the Black and White Cat. There were others, but I don't remember which. Most were smaller models. 25 kr each.
Not sure if Nettos are all the same in the whole country, but just wanted to say )

Thankyou all for your comments

Wow

Congrats!
I saw her in real life and yeah, she is very beautiful! I'll buy them later, cause I've spent a lot of money when I was in the shop with new Schleich XD

Congratulations Susanne! It looks much better on your photos, I think it's beautiful model indeed and perhaps best of the 2015 Schleich horses!!
Your collection of Iceys is amazing!

Considering my limited knowledge about horses, a recognizable figure is important for me. I can see clearly that the old trotting is an Icey, as well as it is evident in Safari figure. For me it is not clear that this figure represents an Icelandic, of course I know because it is identifyed like htat. It is great to know from your impressions that it is a quite decent figure.
In my point of view, I see one more femimine design, very attractive to girls and that's not necessarily a negative thing, I am tempted to believe that my niece will love it. Thanks for your great walk around.

Congrats !

Looking very much forward to see photos of the rest

The hair. I love the hair.

*Note to all Dutch members: 'Pem, je haar danst!"

Even she has got some mistakes, I also love her. You captures always her chocolate side!


Here is my one:
