Schleich MINI Dinos for 2015 + the ones for 2016 (9th April'16)

Tiny, little dinos !  
I just could not resist them  
Originally I thought I could use them as gifts for children in the family, so the tags are still on them.
But I think the tags soon go off, - they are perhaps not accurate, but they are SO cute  

Here they are  :

It is a bit confusing that they are also called minis. Schleich had a MINIS-series from 1965 - 2004.
To show the size, here is The Dancing Triceratops with the old mini, the new mini and the classics ( 1991-1994) :

They are very cute, even if they're not racecar colored

Congratulations Susanne :)

They look a similar concept to Safari Authentics as you wisely demonstrated in these always useful comparison pictures! Less crazy but maybe even cuter than Safari counterparts.
They are new moulds, not small versions of larger figures so I think they have some collectability interest. They are clearly not made to be accurate, this T-rex is chameleonic funny but if they're not too expensive, they could give a good dino experience to young children with fewer resources. Thanks for your great presentation of another new line from the most popular brand.

woww.... they are lovely. I like them a lot :)
Thank you for showing them Susanne :)

They are kind of cute... what an adorable little gang you have there. Congrats!

Thankyou for the kind remarks
Greetings also from my little bandits

Ehehe, when my BF saw these in a local shop, he was a kid again :3
He took some of them home, and they are terrorizing his cabinet now XD

I took the Triceratops and the Pentaceratops.
Although my fascination for Triceratops's, I like the Penta more.
Oh the Papo mini looks good also, wonder if I can get him somewhere

Great photos

Awwwrh, they must be really tiny and cute, but they also look like they're capable of quite a havoc! I hope to see them in a store eventually

 Your BF sounds like the right kind of guy , NL
You can see the set with Papo mini dinos here .
One more set will be launched later this year, - but all brown and dark green too

Considering the penta for realz here!

Thank you for walk around Susanne! They are cuties I like the blue Stego I think he wants to play with Smurfs?

oooh, I recognize that! But if you really like him... But it is your decision
The Penta is IMO more detailed, better shades and the face has more expression than the Tricera :)

That big red one dancing is the new PENTAceratops (or Ferrari-ceratops as I call it).

Arrrhw, YES ! Of course

Even if I don't collect Schleich dinos, my weak spot for miniature models makes it impossible to restist the miniatures  

Last year one could buy them one by one or in boxed sets with 4 + a small puzzle, picturing a prehistoric landscape.
This year they seem to only be available in such boxes, which is also very nice    
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

But my problem is, that it is not written anywhere, what species they are , - I need your HELP with 3 of them !!!!
It wuld have been so easy to print the latin name on the side of the boxes, where pictures are shown, but no

Now, - four are easy, because they are just repaints of the ones from last year  
Here they are, taken out of the box

This beauty must be a kentrosaurus. It looks very much like the old, green beauty from Safari :

Now ! What critter is this lovely guy ?   A dangersaurus ?  :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I have no idea what this is ?   I like him very much, though  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A Quetzalcoatlus, - not nearly as nicely painted as the one from 2015, but a nice model anyway  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Spinosaurus, of course :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This one looks very much like the Bullyland ichthyosaurus, - could that be what the rotound beauty is ?

Thankyou to anybody who can help
And thankyou too to anybody else who like my little dinos, of course

I hope they sell seperate too

Great models Susanne! I personally like Schleich´s dinosaurs a lot, but I mostly collect the larger ones. That being said, these little ones are very cute! Now, I am not sure (and Schleich could probably answer it better than I) but the "dangersaurus" ( ) is possibly a Suchomimus. That would be a dinosaur quite similar and related to the Spinosaurus, but it lacked a sail on it´s back.

The little creature that resembles a crocodile crossed with a dolphin is a Mosasaurus or a creature related to it. They were pretty big aquatic lizards. Have you watched Jurassic World? It features a Mosasaur in a quite big role.

Finally, the dolphin-like beastie is, indeed, a ichtyosaurus, or a related species.

I hope I helped! I must say, this set is VERY interesting. I am really loving the Mosasaur too! If I see this set, I might pick it up!

Thankyou VERY much for your help, Luri

Now that I have a 7 month old Son, I think its only right I start buying Dinosaurs :-) (any excuse hey ;-) ) Thanks for these lovely images Suzanne - I did not realise there were so many smaller critters. The shops I visit don't tend to stock many Dinosaurs.....

Susanne, I totally understand what you mean. I don't collect dinosaur figurines anymore, but I have a weak spot for small figurines.. When seeing these dinosaurs, I really have to contain myself NOT to get them But thank you so much for sharing, they're so cute and tiny and aaaaah

Those are very cute and surely they promote playability! I tend also to like more and more small sized figures. Iuri is correct about their identification.
