Yes Phil, that is true.
But i have my bad days i have to admitt, specially when it comes to bidding on auctions, and willing to get the d**m thing...
But at the moment i am quit cool in that matter, i have other things to take care off...

That later one comes in two kinds of painting, one where the dark areas are solid, and one where it is almost like little dots .

thanks for reply Susanne, although it only sell for one year...but i still think the price too crazy.....

Thankyou, Noeska
That horse has such a large nose that if you take the picture from the front, it will be all muzzles
It is also easier to see the colours from behind, I find.

Yes, it is a mad price ! The horses and dogs are the most popular though, and it was made before collecting Schleich became such a widespread hobby.
Also it stands for 200 Euros in Gaschers book, - far, far more than any other figuere, so people WANT it !
(The dark beagle stands for 30 Euros )

How rare is it actually?

Good question

At first I heard 5000, then 2000, then 500, and now some say 300 in the world.

But I believe the first is right, because I am stubborn (right Willy?) and because since it was made in 98 a lot of them must have been lost, eaten by pets, thrown out, eaten by children or whatever, - and they are for sale almost all the time, even if a lot of collectors in most countries cling to their hors(es)

I suggest you eat some of the new Bullylands, - they claim that they do not contain any poisenous matters

... and they are softer, that can save some teeth

bullyland too expensive, cant afford to eat

I don't know if you are stubborn suzy, but there was always said that there were no more then 200 pieces of this particular pinto, which is ridiculous of course!

I mailded with Norbert Gneiding of Schleich about this, and he assured me that there were much more made, although not as much as other models, because it was only made for one year.
But i guess, a few thousand are left anyway, because of the reasons that were mentioned here before.
Damaged by one or the other way...
I knibbled my toy models to when i was a kid, and it was nice to do, but afterwards it was sad to see them damaged...

So in this case it was not stubbornness , - just common sence

Look at this : here

Isn`t it a VERY nearly repaint ? The white is much too white, - or am I wrong ???

Doesn't look quite right to me either Susanne....
