The schleich 2012 horses topic

You finally have them Sylvia,CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations! The horses are lovely!

Thank you my friends!

I still have to get 2 of the foals, but I´m sure I will get them sooner or later ^^

I´m glad you liked my chosen breeds I usually do that with my horses, but 2010 and 2011 horses suit their breeds I think, so I didn´t change them :)

Congrats! Almost all of those horses are on my wishlist

Congratulations! Icelandic Pony Mare is really nice!

Beautiful new horses, Sylvia... :)

Fortunately I'm not the developer of this series! What would I think of it reading this post?

Congratulations Silvia!

Congrats Silvia

Thank you so much to everybody!

Hum... Do you say that because I changed lots of breeds? Well, if the developer of this serie reads this, I hope he/she will do the horses better next time!

Congratulations !!

Yes, Silvia! To be a serious collector is not only to have the largest collection or the rarest figures. It is also to be able of judging a figure and want more and more quality. As educational toys that are sold under a target of realism evoqued by the brand. We must expect always the better and it is not always easy to recongnise what is wrong with what we collect and that is brave from you.

Congratulations on your horses and I like your descriptions very much too!

Thank you, Arnaud and Bojan!

What is "right" and "wrong" with what we collect is a matter of personal judgment, not universal value. What is really a shame is when collectors lose the ability to be able to appreciate OTHER collectors' collections because of their own beliefs about what is desirable or not.....

You´re right :)

But we can apreciate other collector´s collection and look for better quality and realism at the same time. For example, I like when figurines are realistic, the more realistic they are, the better for my taste. But I can recognize when a piece is rare, or vintage, or has something special... I have several figurines like that: far away of being realistic, and some of them are my favourites ^^ So I know what do you mean :)

With wrong I think that Roger meant about anatomy, because that was what I was talking about. And that is not a matter of personal judgement... You can collect tigers, and love the newest tiger figurine made by x brand, and that doesn´t mean the figurine has a perfect anatomy, and you still can say what is wrong with it: short legs, or small head, or big torax...

I like these horses, but I would have loved if they were like the bred they are said to be

I agree 100% with what you've written here, Sylvia. :)
