Schleich Hyena's 14139 and 14347

Subject: Schleich Hyena's 14139 and 14347 Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:02 am

As schleich collectors know, there are two paintings of the Schleich hyena. 14139 from `97 - ´99 and 14347 from ´05 - ´06.

My old one was very scratched, but I have not really looked for a better one.
Then last week I saw one that was much less worn, if not perfect, and very cheap for a retired Schleich.

Wow, was I happy when I got him and he ( or the other one) was... A VARIANT cheers

Here is my new little friend :

Nice you've found that old lady! More spots and more hyenas and still more variations! :)
It was very funny that someone collecting complete series and variations starting repainting the figures! Not exactly funny! :) Congrats!

Thankyou, friends cheers

Isn`t it funny how a dot of paint or two can change them ?
One looks silly, one looks scared and one looks threatening Laughing

I was just thinking that. So similar, yet so different. It's all about the eyes, IMHO.

Congratulations on finding the new one, and I'm glad you value the variations and save them. I collected Breyer animals, and in Breyers, variations are important; the number of socks or the color of mane and tail can make the difference between a model's being worth $10 or $100.

Thankyou, Carolynne flower

It sounds like it takes a specialist to collect Breyr scratch

Nice pack of hyenas Susanne! Very Happy

Subject: Re: Schleich Hyena's 14139 and 14347 Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:26 pm

you have to really know your stuff, and be lucky, and be rich.

Makes me shake my head though. A lot of antique shops know old Breyers are "worth a lot of money" so they think all old Breyers are worth a lot and you see ridiculous price tags on them even when they are scratched up. In an antique shop this weekend, I saw a $40 price tag on a Breyer that is worth $10 in perfect condition.
I'm very glad I stopped collecting when I did. I'd go mad now if I were collecting Breyer now, there are so many being produced these days.

Lovely addition to your Hyena pack, Susanne... cheers

Love the variant trio photo!

Subject: Re: Schleich Hyena's 14139 and 14347 Fri Jul 22, 2011 7:35 am

Thankyou, Mihnea, Andres and Steve cheers

Yes, Carolynne, it is sure takes all 3 + a bit of hard (fun!) work to be a collector.

I was just thinking, - my friend has a big off-roader.
In Denmark those are not only madly expensive to buy, they are also sucking petrol like people breethe air at app 3 dollars/2 Euros al liter .
You have to pay a fortune in "Road tax" every year, and spare parts cost a fortune.
Everybody understand her, thought Laughing

Some play golf, some go to exotic places on holiday, some buy clothes or go to fine restaurants, have plastic surgery or what not Rolling Eyes

He, he, we collect plastic cheers

Wonderful hyenas cheers

They are absolutely some of my most beloved Schleich models, too Very Happy

The funny thing about Ebay.com and Ebay.de is that you can get some REAL bargains in USA, while in the Herman one, the only bargains are usually those where the sellers will not sell outside Germany or/and don`t take PayPal ! Or at least that is my impression Wink
