Schleich Cheetah 2016

As last year, Schleich have given to some shops a selection of their new 2016 products.
I have seen many, but i have just bought the cheetah. Here are some photos:

From my point of view, this is a very good Cheetah. We don't see the typical Schleich issius, we saw in the last years. He is full of deails (what belongs to the new Schleich style) and the prints are very well hidden. The painting is also very good, I don't see any problems. And I just love the dynamic pose!  

What is your opinion?

A very pleasant surprise indeed She is lovely

Much better than the official photo shows ! As you say, it is a nice, dynamic pose...aware, and is she a little irritated ?
Good proportions and paintwork too

Congratulations, and thankyou for a fine walkaround

Very nice cat :)

Good walk arounds!

Thanks for the pictures. I quite like the pose, and the size looks good, too.

This model is really beautiful I think Great job Schleich and thanks for the photos

Wow! Thank you! I like it :)

Very nice cheetah, I like the less static pose, a good improvement

So I assume I am quite surprised with this figure! From some years ago to now that Schleich looks a completely new brand. It was very predictable before but very admired for an incredible consistency. Now it has changed, as anything that is "restarting", some things get worse but with time, some things start getting better, just a question of patience.
Since 1998 that we know Schleich cheetahs, first, the long lived 1998 cheetah , a very toyish, static and not very detailed figure, despite being a lot in line with the taste of the traditional Schleich collector. Much later, the 2010 cheetah, a clear improvement in painting and sculpting but still not a good competitor to the Papo cheetah and, as always, a figure featuring almost the same pose as her predecessor. Now, we have a cheetah with an exciting and not boring pose, with a detailed painting, full of spots, a correct spotless belly and full of character. I think only she is somewhat Monkey Mouse with those ears but despite not needing more cheetahs, I'll surely do everything to get this one. Thanks for great walk around!

Very nice cheetah. I'm looking forward to getting two of them. (One for me, one for my toddler. He's going to be thrilled.)

My girl has her baby with her now. Doesn't her son look supercute by his mommy's side?

Good idea adding this picture to this topic! They look really nice together!

Thanks Roger.

Hidekuni seems happy to be with his mommy again

Thanks for the pics from the cub.

I won't buy it, so if you want to post a walkaround here, I will change the title.
