Hi,
as I've posted here, I got some special Schleich figurines from Yvette. 2015 Müller Exclusive Hanoverian stallion and two cute youngsters as gifts.
Here are some photos:
Another Exclusive for my collection, my third Müller horse.
Pure black stallion:

Compared to the regular brown one (Made in China variation):
This mold is one of my favourite by Schleich, maybe the best warmblood stallion, and I like him bit more as the regular brown, thanks to his shading. The solid black is a bit boring, I wish they did for example a chestnut or grey one. But my black stallion has well painted hooves and markings. And there's one advantage of the solid black - no rubs at all.

Here he is meeting the Müller Exclusive Hanoverian mare. They are nice pair, aren't they? I wish there will be some exclusive Hanoverian foal for them:

First of the two surprises was a new addition to the Percheron family:
So we have twins here but as you can see, they are not identical. They are from different countries: the new (on the left) is Made in Germany and has better shadings and larger head marking than the former (Made in China). There is also slightely different head shape and some other details:

And the second big surprise is this cute donkey foal! I'm planning the Poitou donkey foal, so it has allready mate waiting for it. And my first donkey is a mum now

Congrats

Interesting details about these foals! I agree about the Hanoverian, it is one of these inspired figures from Schleich, not being a horse collector, I also have one of the regular ones. Congratulations! :)

Thank you, Andreas and Roger :-)

Hi, last week, a package with some old models arrived.
The real treasure (for me) among them is the 13115 Hanoverian foal, introduced in 1995. I didn't expected that I would be able to get one. Its not very realistic, but funny:

When I purchased the 13227 mare, I thought she's a nice broodmare, ideal aunt for foals without moms, but now she got the chance to have her own foal (By the way, they are both from the same seller, so probably reunion after few months?)


Evolution of the Schleich Hanoverian foals:


Second gem from the package is the old 13232 Shetland pony, in good condition. This little chubby guy is so cute:


Compared to my other shetlands: (I really need the rearing one)


I got also grazing riding pony (13299). Not in perfect condition, rubs mostly on leg markings. But I like the pose. More grazing molds!


The tallest of the catch is 13261 Trakehner mare. I like these warmblood molds from around 2002, they represent Schleich very well, much better than the contemporary warmbloods.

Great additions! I like a lot that picture showing the Hanoverian foal evolution !
The old Hanoverian is really a cute figure and an emblematic one.

Beautyful horses from the golden gage of Schleichhorses

I agree with roger, - that "evolution" picture is a gem

Thank you Roger and Susanne :-)
Evolution pictures are always intereseting. I'm curious what will be the next step in the Hanoverian evolution.

I'm happy I can share it with you all

Congratulations

Hooray, I finally got the Poitou donkey foal, which I planned for months!
There were two last pieces in the store, so I was lucky. It's supercute, I love it.

So the both of my adult donkeys are mums now and the little donkey from Yvette has a friend

It is the most adoreable donkey foal
And quite hard to find these days

Wonderful pictures ! Thankyou very much

Absolutely, the cutest one

And thank you, I'm happy you like my photos

I find real donkeys cute creatures, so it is great to see a figure that captures their cuteness. Nice pics.

Hi,
my friend has three minigoats, and two of them delivered their first kids in July, what inspired me to get also some kids:

I have bought their mother in the year she was released, and finally I purchased also these cute babies. So my family of mini goats is complete!


And little Amelie has now friends to play with:

I think the new duo is sculpted better, with tiny details, but I like the eyes of the older one more. It has light brown eyes with black horizontal pupil, the new twins have solid black eyes, what gives them a kind of alien look.

To save on shipping, I bought two small accessories sets from 2016:


I just bought the blanket to prevent dusting of some of my horses, but I'm actually impressed how carefully it is made. There are two different materials from each side:


And surprisingly, it fits to Bella Rose very well! The halter is of course big for her, but it will look great on any mare, especially on the greys:


And the grooming kit, I'm excited about the tiny hoof pick. And I'm also glad they've changed the girlish pink box to a less girlish colour, I think it would look great as a part of a diorama:

I LOVE these little sets too
And I LOVE the pygmy goats also

It is wonderful to save on shipping, but can be quite expensive

Congrats!

The picture Susanne quoted is a poem!
Many congratulations for all your new figures, thanks for showing!
