Schleich McDonalds pictures

Thanks to Simone's help, I have gotten some of the "Happy Meal" McDonald models made by Schleich

I have had a lot of fun with them, because they are so closely related to the Schleich's standard models, - but often not quite

Here are some pictures I have taken. Some for TAW, and some for fun

Everybody are welcome to share their own pictures here, and it would be extra great if we may use them for TAW also  

Who can resist and Alpaca ? I surely can not  
This one reminded me of the old Schleich alpacas, only...isn't it larger ?

YES !
Except for a bending front leg, it is almost exactly like the standard kria, but it surely is MUCH larger

And a donkey  
So lovely, look at those ears !!!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Except for the ears, it is clearly related to the standard 13772 donkey, -but there is another difference .
The standard one is a mare, the MD is a ....a nothing  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

These two Md models also have something in common : They have lighter belly

Simone also sent me 3 pinto horses
The mare here is the same mould as the Tennessee walker 13833, only 13833 is chestnut, and the material is different.

I would have liked to compare the two, but unfortunately I do not own the chestnut mare. I'll have to do something about that  

This lovely little filly is also ( almost ) the same mould as the 13804 Tennessse wakink foal

But the 13804 is a colt, and the MD one is a filly and has little red braids in her little mane

The foal her, lying down, is ever so cute, and I was sure I have one of her relatives

No, not a realative, because she is the same mould as the Haflinger foal 13292 from 2005 !
Haflingers are never pintos, so it must be convergent evolution

And an ICEY  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

There is absolutely no doubt, - these two are made from the same mould !
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

 Again ! Look at the bellies of the two grown up horses  
The icey even has a PINK belly

And the cutest little lamb  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

They could easily be twins, I think.

In the parcel from Simone there were also two dogs  

A happy, tail-wagging Golden Retriever  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Of course he is happy, because here he found a wife and a puppy

The Berner Sennen dog is extremely interesting !!! Especially the paintwork is unusual

Let's look at a couple of comparisons... In many ways they are the same.
But as anybody can see, the MC dog has a lifted front leg
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

and a very interesting pattern in his face  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

and he has moved his tail
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

He also has a white belly...hmm, but so does the original, I just forgot to take a comparison picture

Last, a nice diloposaurus. I am extremely fond of Dilopos
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I do not have the original one ( 14567), however I can see in the catalogue that 14607 has a moveable jaw and perhaps better paintwork.
However, immediately I saw him,  I thought of the old Guanlong from Safari !
They seem to have a lot to discuss, so perhaps I thought right

That is all for now.
Again I want to thank Simone,
and I hope others have pictures to contribute    

With all these comparisons and your observations, a fantastic topic was born. I am looking forward to see more around the subject.

Thanks Susanne, great job

Very nice walkaround Susanne, rely nice figurines But it is so sad that i can,t be able to get some of this special additions

Wonderful topic !
These are surely interesting looking and I am glad you have them in your collection now :)
Even with small changes most of them are looking very different and very charming.
My favorite is maybe the cutest little lamb
Thank you for shharing dear Susanne :)

Thankyou dear super-boys

Thank you for this excellent topic and thanks a lot for sharing with us all the love you have for these models. Despite I don't collect them, I'm always so happy to read you and share your joy, you made my day

Ohhhh, thankyou, dear Christophe

They are wonderful new additions Susanne!!

The alpaca has to my favourite, and its an adult! I just love it!

It is very interesting that they are using old molds, so this may back up the fact the retain old molds, which would be just fantastic!

Such an interesting topic, it's so useful to see how they compare!
The happy tail-wagging Golden Retriever made me smile a lot!
And the gorgeous dog families to show the similarities- and also, such wonderfully clear photos !

These are wonderful, I just love the donkey and the lamb!

Thank you, Adam, Lilias, and Tilly

Great additions to your collection! The cute little lamb is my favorite too!!
