The Horseclub Girls

So, I played around with the four 'delayed' horseclub girls a little bit and I could find only 1 flaw, they can't be placed upon horses with a broader back. The way their legs open is rather narrow. But the shoulders, knees and hips bend perfectly fine and doesn't seem weak.

I have no real complaints about him, save for the fact that they only fit on the slim horses. Maybe this is the change schleich will make...???

Very interesting !!! I have looked much forward to see these models ! Thankyou very much for sharing

Any Time

Thank you for sharing! They definitely are an interesting addition to Schleich’s world.
I think many kids will love these, since they are comparable to the Belville dolls.
(There is a very lively market for those on Marktplaats. Everytime you search Schleich, at least 10 of these dolls show up with prices ranging from €7 till €12, for one of these little dolls! )
But personally I still think they have serial killer smiles and give me the creeps, although it’s less than on the picture of that cardboard cutout.

It would indeed be logical to alter them if they cannot sit on every horse.

Very good presentation, Tessa! They keep a very recognizable Schleich design, they're not completely realistic neither completely toyish. They seem also enough attractive to young and not so young children and still keep that touch of interest to older collectors. The mechanism looks good in your pictures. It is not easy to manufacture this kind of figures and make them fit in heavy and light horses keeping a decent look where they articulate. It is good to see girls with different looks, namely one with dark skin. I love the picture where the first girl meet the horse, they look like old friends.
