My first addition of this year was the 2021 Schleich Fennec Fox, who I got in the mail today. I figured I would do a walk around.

It's a very tiny figure, but it looks better than the stock photo portrays. It's very cute for sure, and i'm sure it will sell well on the general market. It has a few parts that seem like bare plastic instead of an area that is painted which is a bit odd but that may just be the one I received. The paint work is pretty good. It's not as realistic compared to the CollectA but I think its better than the Safari LTD. one personally.

I'm surprised it took Schleich took this long to make a fennec fox and while some of Schleich's models just aren't as nice as they used to be, i'd say this one is pretty solid. If wild canines are your thing I recommend picking one up.

I want first to congratulate you for your new adition and thank you for opening this topic.
I wished for a long time to see a fennec in Schleich's range because I always think that animals that are cute in real fit nicely with Schleich style. Most of Schleich's pandas look nice, the current koala too and I could give many other examples. However, it is known that I am not particularly excited with this model, I will get it for my collection and it is really better than in promo pictures but Schleich went too far. Telling it has a design reminescent of "In My Pocket" series or excessively toyish is not an exaggeration with a depreciative goal. It is a fact and it is not lack of talent, it is clearly a commercial decision. Some of the German brand figures show this tendency and these have surely their market and supporters. Before seeing promo pictures, I was expecting something closer to what ColectA did. Safari model is big and it almost looks like any other species but in my opinion it is a more serious approach and Papo, CollectA or even Eikoh are clearly better models. We all know Schleich is able of making very realistic models, their pangolin is a good example and a realistic fennec would surely be interesting commercially once the real animal is cute enough to be appealing. But let's preserve the most positive point that this figure represents a new species in Schleich range after loads of red foxes generations and the popular Arctic foxes. Very Happy

What a wonderful addition, a gorgeous Fennec with a lovely pose! drunken cheers cheers
It may not be as good as others on the market, and has definitely been made to look cuter, but it is still as Roger says, a unique species and has good points too! Very Happy I would love to pick one up, I think this wild canine would fit well with dogs! Very Happy I also like the colouring, from your photos I can see that they have used various shades of yellow, cream and gold, definitely more realistic than some of the other models Schleich bring out, where they are painted just one colour! Very Happy
And your photos show this Fennec so well, I love the background! cheers

Ohh, no  pale

What have they done to this lovely creature ???  Sad

I am sorry to say so, because your pictures are so beautyful, but this looks more like an alien , the head is completely wrong. No

It is not often I react like this, and perhaps I may get used to it. But that is my first reaction Wink
