Cool!

That is quite the talent you have there. What fun!

Fantastic idea Ralf!

Looks fantastic. Congratulations. You did an awesome job on it.

Very cool crazy item

Ralf, did you do that yourself, or is it one of the four new Schleich figures ?

I just got a notification from Schleich that their 75th anniversary promotion is that if you buy one of their featured items, like the new safari air plane , you cut the coupon off the box, mail it in and they send you a zebra colored animal. So far they have a pig, giraffe, kangaroo , and penguin . They are just repaints of the old figures still, but they are very interesting looking for the collectors. I do not know if they are not advertising it yet or, but it is a promotion that they are doing starting in September when the fall items are released.

If anyone is really interested they are shown here:

I think you missed something here Phil...
We were already discussing this news in another tread about the "specials" Phil...
And some of us already have 4 or more of those coupons you need to get these special items.
What Ralf did, is to make his own "special item" , and there is only one of them, so very special!

By the way, fantastic job Ralf, and you all have my blessings to make many zebroid-species, as i love zebra's!

I did miss that thred Willy, but thanks for the update, I will try to go over and read all of the old posts that I missed.

Congrats to both Ralf for his new figure, and to everyone who has the new figures.

Ralf, you are a genius!

The larger(normal coloration) anteater looks really really good! Is that a custom?

Many thanks my friends collectors

So, is it a custom(the normal coloration) anteater you have pictured?
Instead of ridiculous zebra striped anteaters, I think Schleich should work on making more different animal species figures instead of weird repaints!

Yes it is a custom made by Ralf himself, it is great !

Schleich would never do a ridiculous zebra anteater , the only zebranteater I know is a Yurumi model

Great custom!
Except Schleich is doing a promotion for their 75th anniversary with the
ridiculous zebra striped animals(pig, penguin, giraffee).
They should have had some kind of a brand new figure instead!

I know Schleich is doing this Baltimore and I don't buy any plane to have one because I still don't have enough money to buy the models I really want. But I like Ralf's idea to make his own zebranimals for the 75th anniversary, it's really fun

Nice idea making a zebra anteater.
Does anyone knows why Schleich is choosing zebra painting and not giraffe painting? 14001 Schleich is a giraffe!!!

Hello baltimore zoo,
I agree with you completely. Although I understand to refer of the zebra stripes for the 75-year anniversary, I can the claim of Schleich to produce at possible realistic animal models not to comprehend this action. I would have liked even better real animal models, or at least with existing characters a natural paint, such e.g. a quagga, a black Jaguar or the old ostrich male repainted as hen. This would certainly have made more sense.

I thank you for the compliment of my repainted normal coloration anteater :). I will show some pictures of this repaint in the next time .

Just as I meant it with the Zebra anteater . Thanks Christophe.

75th anniversary repaints...o.k., whatever! Waste of time and paint!

this is funny cillection... i like that giraffe-zebra baby:)))

Question about repainting. Do you just paint over the figure or strip it then repaint?
