Schleich 2025 first half year

I have just seen the new figures on youtube.
I will go sit in a corner of my room and cry about the 2 new pandas.

Dear Dutch Bear:

Alright, out with it! So, why are you crying about the new pandas? Do you not like them, for some reason? I mean, I sort of see where you're coming from, but for me, 2025 Schleich looks great! My point is, just because you don't like some of the wildlife, well, you don't have to get these, if you don't want to. You see? So, why are you crying? Personally, for me, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting all the animals, except for the dogs, and the goat kid, and the bison. Either way, things will be looking up in my collection. Anyway, please try and cheer up, I mean, it's not all bad, right? Right? Anyway, if you read this post, please remember, I too am a fan of the older Schleich models, but new Schleich additions are always welcome, even if they aren't as nice as the older ones.

Sincerely,

Aschuck

@Dutchbear is just giving an opinion because since Schleich already released several giant panda figures, he surely expected to see better panda figures. Nothing really bad on it. He will buy those pandas for his collection, he just wished they looked nicer. It also doesn't mean they are not nice for you or for any other collector. For example, I wished Papo badger was a nicer figure, it doesn't mean I don't like Papo. Actually, I love almost all figures of the brand. That's about collecting, every collector has his own taste and make his own choices.

Dear Roger,

Oh very true. I also forgot to mention in my last post, I won't be getting the new piglet or the mule by Schleich. I just thought I'd let you know. By the way, do any of the dinos have movable jaws? If so, which ones? Also, what exactly does the snow slasher 72257 look like? Is it like a polar bear in form? Anyway, I'll be getting the new giant pandas for my collection, and perhaps the pack or whatever will grow larger. I too am a fan of papo figures, although I haven't purchased any lately. Hopefully that will change soon. Anyway, if anything changes in my collection, I'll let you know. You can read AAA Aschuck's Finds! to hear the latest news.

Good morning Aschuck, thanks for your reply.
I am not really realy crying of course. More slightly disappointed in the images i have seen so far of both the panda and the cub. In general I am not a Schleich fan. In my niche yet extensive collection there are far better bears than the models Schleich made. That said, I am not in the market for any other animals. Well perhaps an occasional Spanish fighting bull. So every year my hopes of good new bears are limited and maybe therefore up for some disappointment.
I do prefere to see a model in real life first before I buy it, but as Roger mentioned, surely I will get the 2025 pandas, just because.

There are some previews of the 2025 models on youtube
Like these

At least the carchaontoaurus, raptor look to have movable jaws

Sort of update on some of the new models' sculptor for the TAW for example.

BraveDog Customs (Sophie Syksch) has sculpted the following models for the 2025 lineup:
The Andalusians
The Marwari family
All of the new Horse Club horses (Mystery, Blossom, Storm and Cayenne)
The Arctic Wolves
and the dogs

Concerning the Horse Club horses she "said" that the angles of the photos are rather unfortunate and that they look better in real life. Well I am curious to discover if that's the case.

Thank you, Katy for sharing this information with us.

You can clearly see what figures BraveDog Customs (Sophie Syksch) designed, and what passion she put into the horses and dogs, her own style is very visible, even her choice of colour for the animals. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

About the new Pandas, I really understand Dutch Bears view about them.
Next to the new Horseclub Horses, they feel "very rushed" when it comes to the design, what we can see from the promo pictures.
Maybe it was more of a last minute decision to give them a make over, and friendly smiling looking animals, could be one of the points which the designers of schleich have to include nowadys in the wild life section.

But a promo picture isn't a real figure, so we have to wait and see, what we really get, maybe they will look good in the end.

Her horses are some of the nicest from the recent ones for sure, though I think that the whole 2025 lineup from the "single" horses looks pretty decent.
Honestly I was only able to identify the Andalusians as hers and I somewhat guessed that the dogs might be hers as well as she does have her "Perraluna" project.

I would love to believe her with the new four Horse Club horses but for now we only have those not really nice photos of them. We shall see how they really look in a few months.


I've updated my initial post because I forgot the Arctic Wolves and also clarified what I mean with the Horse Club horses.

As I thought, hehe, that's great!

I'm really looking forward for the 2nd half to leak. Hope it will before London Toy fair, im too impatient to wait

I don´t like the picture of the Welsh Corgie on You Tube. I hope, the real figure ist better!

Dear Eldrador,

Hey there, yeah, I too am waiting for the 2nd half list. I hope it comes soon. Also, about the stone smasher, is that figure sort of like the stone monster? If so, then I might get it for myself. Anyway, I do hope we have more news soon.

Sincerely,

Aschuck
