Schleich colour variations

Thanks for the information, Harriet :)

Looking at my ewe, I'd say she is either the light version or somewhere in between. My ewe is also Made in China.

(missing picture)

The darker one matches the current Ram better and also looks more like a Texel/Beltex sheep.

Interesting! I need to go look at mine now!

Thanks for the picture Rio! Yes your one looks like my light coloured one, it must just be over the years the painting changes.

Thanks for the picture Torben, mine's like the one on the far left.

Here are my rams, - there are SO many variations of the old ones. I would go bankrupt before I had them all

Wow, you have a nice bunch there Susanne! Is the one on the far left unpainted?

Yes, there are many variations on the older models, specially the sheep, pigs and goats, and even the older hair-pares in white.
So there will be always something to look out for i guess...

Yes, it is a so called Rohling (suppose it translates to "raw-ling", does it, German speakers ?)

Oh yes, I remember you talking about it with Barricade. That was a lucky find.

So, these sheep are my first variations. I have a few more doubles of models, the Hanoverian Foal, Clydesdale Mare and latest Friesian cow; I’ll have a look at them to see if they are slightly different colours.

Yes, I have some of those.
One of my very good and dear friends saw some on ebay.
As he does not have PayPal I bought them for him.
But then he was SO unlucky shortly after.
His car broke down, his cat got ill an caused a huge bill to the vet. So he could not afford them after all.
I kept them, and am happy I did

I feel sorry for your friend, but at least the models are in good hands and will be well looked after

So up first is the Clydesdales, the first one I bought was the lighter colour...

Thanks Susanne, yes it is amazing the variation in colour! I bought a second Shire foal because the first one was rubbed in places and another Clydesdale because I loved the model so much. But the rest were accidents, someone bought me a model I already had.

I always thought it was strange when they changed the Lipizzaner Stallion into a Mare.
The first version was beautiful, mine's made in Germany too

They changed the paintwork on the donkey to match the new foal I suppose

Golly !
I never noticed the two Lipizzas were the same

Poor stallion

Well, sex-operations are not that uncommon, maybe he wanted that all his life

I love that old donkey ! Some of them have lipstick on !!!!!
Strange, it is not in Gascher`s book ...
As you all probably know it is the same, but smaller one that exists as a Classic. It was for sale on Ebay recently, but the price was far above my budget

I'm glad I have the original version of the stallion, they are quite hard to get hold of now, I think.
I really like the old donkey as well. It isn't in the Gascher's book?! How strange.

I bought the Camargue mare brand new in 2006. But even before I unpacked her, she was missing some paint on her right hind hoof.
Now as this figuere is being discontinued, I bought one more, - and look, they are not the same in colour :

I love it, - now I have two different ones

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
I think i don't have a figure with different colours

I still like the earlier version.
