Schleich animals Homo Sapiens 2012 ;-)

We have not seen this species yet, I think

The farmers are funny, really well made.
They replace the reasonably modern farmers, while at least in Denmark the new couple remind me more of a long lost time, perhaps 50 years ago ( Except the wife`s slacks and clogs, of course )
I imagine the little girl visiting her grandparents, and they keep rabbits for her.

And - WOW ! Schleich figures from the Farm-series, where the backside is also is full of detail

The children, - The boy in the middle certainly belongs in the farm also, while I don`t really know where the others belong, - perhaps they are scoolfrinds from the city ?

Here is the 3rd grandchild, she has found a horse, so her little sister`s rabbit doesn`t get the carrot today

Yes, these little models should be a success with children. They even trigger the imagination of ME

Congrats Susanne, my favorite is the old farmer

Fabulous Susanne!
I have never been much interested in the people figures (except for "girl pushing wheelbarrow", cause that's ME), but this year I may have to add a few to my collection. I really like the farmer carrying the pig. :)

Nice Homo Sapiens! Congratulations Susanne! I like the story very much and I start to like new Schleich Homo Sapiens much more
You know it's danger to watch photos here on this forum, wish list getting longer! I really must be careful before I would have to stop eat to save some money for toys

They look incredibly well made! Well, except for the colours on girls' clothes
I want the girl with the camera now!

They are great. I have no humans but your photos make me feel like getting some... The piglet looks so heavy !

Really great figures. I think they are much better than the older people!

They certainly do have alot of detail on them. Are they about the same price as the old models from a couple years ago or do they cost more because there is more detail?
That pig under the farmers arm must be a pet. Any piglet I have ever met would have to be held with two arms and you would still have a struggle... and they would have been covered in a piglet present...

Thanks for sharing Susanne.

Would those be number 2,648, 2,649...467, 468....oh no I probably messed up your counting and now you have to start all over again!

Thankyou friends ! I am happy you also like them, - I also think Schleich did a good try here

Sue, the price is a bit more than the old ones in the online shops I can find. App the same as for instance the girl with the wheel barrow.
But the prices vary so much, it is hard to tell

Ahhh, yes !!!! Of course !!!!
The pig is a pet pig
So the grandparents could be retired people hwo have a hobby farm

The human 2012 is quite interesting & I think I am also attracted by the man holding the piglet!

Congratulations Susanne, they're cute I like the wife with her hand on her hip best

I like the farmer and his wife, but is that cheap plastic they stand on removable?

Congrats on the 2012's, Susanne... :) And thank you for the terrific photos. The three in the first photo are well designed and nicely manufactured.

Thankyou

Hmmmm
I am not sure it could be removed with a good result.
They are gloed on, but it is like the shape of their feet is welded into the light plastic base, so if you try to cit them off, you have to cut a little of their shoes off, too
With a very sharp knife you might cut the plastic so that only the part under the feei is left, but that wouldn`t look nice either, - and will they stand, then ?

Arwww,I love the old farmer with that heavy pig! Looks very realistic but I agree with Bojan 100%,I could have passed on that plastic thing they stand on.

Wonderful pictures, Susanne! Very detailed but still recognisable as Schleich figures!
I like traditional figures but I confess I like the blond girl! :)
By the way, I can't remember which figure is Kristie? Could someone tell me the reference or show me a picture?

Congratulations Susanne!!!

Congrats on these human sub-species Susanne!
They are well manufactured indeed.
The girl with the camera could be a zoo-visitor i guess...
