Horse Made in China

Hello,
I got the horses (13216, 13 225 and 13 228).
The three all have a Schleich flag
(small with the round S)
Under the horses stands Made in China.
My question is this:
Is the original or the horses are fake?
greeting

Original made in China.
Schleich made from the past until now a lot of the production in China

It seems that they are making more and more models in China.

All the models I got this year were made in china, even if I bought them from Germany . Some of them weren`t nice at all

And Numaan saw at the London Toy Fair that the ones they showed there were also made in China.

Thank you for your answer

German models will not go away. Horses and some of farm and wild animals will stay Germany and Portugal, but elves, heroes, humans, african elephants and scenery packs always China. I have a lot of 2012 horse from Germany, only 2 are China.

Aaarh, thankyou Parka, I am happy to hear it.

I never noticed before, - or cared - if the models were German or Chinese made.
But they must have changed the supplyer this year, at least some of them were terrible.

I checked the new animals from 2012 and most of them are marked "Made in Germany"! Some are from Portugal and less from China. I determined that some of the new modells are currently available in two versions simultaniously.
Many animals that have been launched with "Made in China" in the past years are now sold with "Made in Germany".

As I already wrote in some other topic: there are two Müller drugstores in our small town (17000 people), one sells some new horses Made in Germany, the other Made in China and those look really plastic and cheap

Although I don't have the 13216, but have the other two made in Germany, I know that it is indeed possible to find the Chinese-made oldest horses, although they can be very hard to find. I was quite surprised to discover a couple of years ago that there is a Chinese-made 13210 which is quite similar to the Portuguese-made 13210 in appearance, though slightly different in coloration. It took some time, but I finally found a few of these being sold from Asia.

Have any collectors here found many of the earliest Schleich horses made in China?

In our town Müller is bust.

If I understand correctly, the Made in China are rarer.

That is addicted from the model.

Usually when the figurines are produced in Germany and in China, we got here in Germany only the Made in Germany Models and USA, UK, Australia... became the Made In China Models.

But some Models are only made in China ore only Made in Germany.

ok, I understand
Thank you for the great answers.
I always learn something about it

That's not true. We have the new Camargue horses, Trained Horse both Made in China and Made in Germany on sale here.

The ones I got this year from Germany were all made in China

I bought the Camargue family Made in China before New Year. Now they got the Camargue family Made in Germany also on sale here, but most
of the animals this year were Made in China.

Maybe I'm wrong about this, Bojan, but I think Peter is correct about this in writing that there are at least SOME figurines which are made in China (but not Germany) or made in Germany (but not China). Of course there is the beluga, which to my knowledge, was made in Germany and Portugal, but I've never seen one made in China.

Thanks, Susanne... :)

I do not know what you see as the earliest horses made in China. But Noeska and I together have some of the oldest in a China version: (the list is of both our collections)

- Galoping horse
-shire mane up and manes down
- both oldest foals13103 and 13109
- 13209 haflinger
- lippizanner 13220
-13221 arabian mare
-13225 fuchsstute

Some are bought because they are made in China, some are bought because of the model. It is mostly luck to have found them.

Taking both Noeskas and mine collection together, some are very rare. We are searching for a second galoping horse about 5-6 years now, a second shire manes up also some years. They are not easy to get.
