Schleich colour variations

I can not see it

Bilder sind zu sehen.

Beide sind im originalen Zustand.

Es handelt sich hier wohl um die erste Variante.
Keine Bemalung auf der Rückseite und innen seitig unbehandelt.
Keine Boxen für Pferde oder Kühe usw. ( wurde nicht entfernt ).
Aufgang für Hühner unterschiedlich.

Now I can see them

WOW ! They are VERY different ! Really interesting

And one still in the original plastic cover , - true gems ! You are the master finder of this kind of rarities

Congratulations

I belive that there is already a topic about how to know one from the other, but I can't find it.
Anyone who can help?

Or can anyone tell me how to see the difference. I thought it was on the colour of the figurs (with 14036 a deeper green and the newer a more grey-green kind of colour), but when I look at toyanimal.info the 14036 consist of both colours.

Can anyone help me differentiate my

I am afraid that there is some text missing on TAI, - entirely my fault  

As far as I know, the old one has white eyes and green belly, the newer one has brown eyes and grey belly

Now it should be better [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ;D

I am glad that my wife is not the only that says that crocs are all alike.

I am sure she can know the great Portuguese Croc

Thank you. Then I actually have both numbers

I was looking on Marktplaats and found this item.

It is the old schleich brown bear, 14021
But in a very interesting colour.
Has anyone of you seen this colour before on schleich?
Or could it just be the lighting and setting in the picture?

Hmm, interesting It seems like most of the paint (eyes, nose) has disappeared, so maybe it had a rough life and most paint has been rubbed off? Although the painting on its nails seems intact. Could be discoloration because of sun. But it would be possible that it's a colour variation, of course! Now I'm curious if other members of STS have seen or maybe own this version! Thanks for sharing anyway!

Yes ! Very interesting !!! Julie expresses very well what the colour could be. Or it could be the picture /light

Are you buying it ? I am really curious to see it

I dont know. I have 3 variations already.
Other pictures of other animals have the same beige light glow.
So it can very well be from a lamp, or a photoshop correction

The quest continues:

Here a same colour on German Ebay.

Very exiting

I look forward to see it

Too bad!
It was the same colour plastic afterall.
He just looks different because of the shade of paint, and the amount of rub.

I have noticed that the head from the bear i had is ever so less higher.
You can hardly tell, only when you put the noses together.
The new one has a wobble, because of his left front paw curved inward.
and the material is a touch more flexibel.

I think i will try to scrub the one of all his paint, and hope to see teh full light brown plastic.

Ohhh! They are wonderful
I have never seen the red ones before, - they are very nice
Is it the new one which has a yellow dot under his foot ?

I love all four, and I think you have not one too many

Thanks for sharing these great photos

no with the yellow dot is had already.
the ebay bear is now swimming in turpentine.

Here the brown bear, stripped from the paint.

Next to his painted twin

Probably, one of my favourite topic. I love more made in China (Tunisia) Schleich models, than those ones that was produces in Germany (Portugal). IMHO, just the painting job looks more realistic for me. I will try to post some of my models as soon as posible, so you can see.

Now back to the topic and let it freshen up a bit :

Does anyone know more about the following animals are these common releases or are these factory erros?

These animals have their undercoat shining through, has anyone else seen or got them back in the day they were available.

I remember getting minr that way back in the late 2000s in small and big stores.

Personal thoughts:

I really like them all and they give these animals some sorts of character.  
Like the fur on the Airdale, I like to think he is an older senior with lots experience.

I could be wrong, but I am uncertain that these are "variations" in paint color rather than toys thay have been played with in the bathtub and have residue from soap on them...
