someting wrong with schleich jersey cow

I know i've posted these in other topics but i really want answers

i wondering if anyone knows what's wrong with the Schleich Jersey Cow? The most important Schleich model I've been waiting my whole life for
Anyone else having a problem with their Schleich jersey cows losing color?

If you rub them against paper, it will lose some color, especially around the nose, it is sensitive

and it really does not tolerate water if it gets wet, it will be even worse,

no figure you take out on the walk and play with,

Hope the paint isn't toxic

wonder why it is painted with a worse color, none of my other schleich animals lose color in this way

i bought the galloway calf to and it doesn't lose color

Well, I believe not many people on forum will try to test it after reading your post. I don't have it myself and it is a recent figure, we don't have reports of bad quality. Where is your model made in? Can you show a picture?
About paint being toxic, it is hard to believe, these figures are safety tested and that's one of the most important aspects to be considered.

Well my kids have never gotten sick from eating schleich so i doubt it would be toxic, if it were i guess they wouldnt be able to release them in the EU under regulations.
Mine seems fine, tried to nail it and got no rubbing. So maybe your unlucky and got one from a bad batch?

I ordered them in Denmark at two different places, they say UK impoter inside on the label, they are 14

it feels softer than the rest of the schleich like they are painted with a different type of paint or painted with a thicker layer

I have not tried all of them but only a selection of them But all of them I've tried stains the paper I rub them against and if they fall they often get marks

I was wondering if anyone had inside info on what Schleich is doing if they paint them with any other type of paint and if you should expect that there will be this deterioration in quality in the future on more animals from Schleich

I was not asking the tag information. I was asking what is marked on the model's belly or inner parts. Basically I want to know the country where it is manufactured to see if it is something from a certain factory and if it happens with other models with the same origin.
Schleich has changed recently some manufacturing principles, especially to turn their figures ecofriendly. I don't know if it is related with what you are experiencing. I really hope not.

it stand schleich designed in germany 23

but if you have one you can fell it fells softer than other schleich

OK, it is not what I asked but probably it is marked somewhere "Made in China" or any other country. That mention is a new thing to tell us where it is designed. 23 is the years it was designed, normally Schleich figures are marked with the year prior to its release.
If I find one of these cows locally for sale, I will check if it feels different to me and I will let you know.

the paper I rubbed her body against

her nose after I rubbed paper against it

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I looked carefully for the usual 'Made in...' text on my recent Schleich Fjord horses, just for curiosity when they arrived - one has it and the other only has the 'Designed in Germany', so it's possible this cow doesn't have both bits of information either.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Does the paint also come off against your fingers during normal handling? Or only when deliberately rubbing with paper? I'd suggest maybe stop rubbing the cows with paper if that's the case, but if it's coming off just by touching then it would be worth contacting Schleich to complain about the quality. They may give you a refund, or send a replacement, but only if they judge the damage to be within normal use, not if you're rubbing it on purpose.

I have checked my Jersey cow and she has designed in Germany on the underside.With regards to the paint coming of her nose,I had quite a problem when buying my model to find one that had a nose that didn't have paint missing!

it doesn`t have any made in text

The color only comes off if you rub paper or cotton against the skin of the cow but you don't have to rub hard just a little lightly

At one point, I just held the paper to the cow and she stained the paper

But they seem to be the same fault on all the cows I bought so if I complain to Schleich
(which I already have done but they have not replied)
they would possibly just sickle me new cows with the same fault

This doesn't happen on any of my other Schleich animals including the galloway calf that I bought at the same time and which also only has the text Designe in Germany 23 on it

But these are children's toys and I think you could expect them to hold up to rough handling

If they get wet they get even worse so they don't hold up to being played with outdoors

and if they fall over they almost always get marks so every time someone drops them or bumps them they get uglier and uglier

I wonder what most of the Schleich Jersey cows that get played with will look like in a year's time

I think we have enough evidence now that there is a quality issue with this model. Taylor's testimony is particularly enlightening. It's not without irony that one of the defects that haunted Mojö Fun's image a few years ago is now something that questions the quality of some Schleich figures.
It is a pity because this model is very beautiful and it is not good for Schleich, especially when CollectA has just released one as good or better. I think you really should report it to the company.
I also appreciate the information about the absence of indication of manufacturing location; I thought it was mandatory, or perhaps it is implied that when omitted, it corresponds to the location where it is designed.

They are because the color of the nose comes off very easily

so If you're going to have her to look at and not to play with, you don't rub her nose against anything and don't wash it with wet paper, that's what I did with it in the picture,

I just tried to clean her with plain water and then this happened

But they don't matter if they're wet or dry for the paint to come off but they get worse when they get wet

I have already reported the problem to Schleich but they have not responded

I started this topic to Find out what's wrong with Schleich Jersey and to warn others that this error exists in Schleich Jersey Cow and to make other Jersey owners aware that this error exist

So maybe more people will report this error to Schleich if they have the same error as my jersey so that Schleich will be aware of it

If more people report the problem to Schleich, maybe they will do something about it before it affects other Schleich models, if I complain alone, they probably won't listen to me
