AMAZING FIND & New 2013 figures

I was in a schleich retailer in the city the other day to see if they had any of the new 2013 figures yet and saw a very rare model reduced on the top shelf. It was the 1-18 Arabian Stallion no. 16755 in its original box with the plastic sleeve. I didn't know they ever stocked these as it was so long ago, it must have been stuck in the warehouse for years, anyway it was reduced to 5 euro , so i grabbed it!! I still can't believe it!!

I also got the new penguin, beaver, sea lion pup, otter and hippo calf. The penguin and beaver are amazing, the sea lion pup is very good, the otter is a bit boring and dull and I find the hippo calf to be too fat, he just looks overweight in my opinion, maybe the head needs to be bigger??

Congratulations!!

Wow, Only
Congratulations!

What an amazing find! A really huge congratulations! Awesome!

I really like all the new figures too. Congratulations. I think I like the little Hippo more than you, but I know exactly what you mean about the Otter. I thought I would love it, but I have found it kind of boring since getting it. It's not a model that I come back to look at, not at all, not like the Black Bull, or the Vulture, or the Chimpanzees, or even the Beaver, all of which I really enjoy staring at.

Surprisingly its quite real :)

Andy, congratulations for your new additions and thanks for sharing them with us.
From this group the only I will probably get is the African penguin, we don't see this species often. However, it looks really tubby, also characteristic markings look wrongly placed. The other figure I suspected it would enter my collection it was the beaver. Though, it is clear that the head has not a typical beaver shape, looks very short and also the unexpressive pose makes the figure lack some life. they could use better front legs and give more tension to the body. I think the hippo is just nice for a baby, only eyes are huuuuge! But that belongs to Schleich design!
They all share an atractive looking, mainly the baby sea lion and surely they are nice additions!
By the way, I just changed the links in order to we see your great pictures directly on forum.

Holy, hopping Hamster

What an absolute fantastic find !!!!!
That horse is being sold for app 500 Euros, when in such a fine state, in unopened box, - WOW and CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!

I love the little hippo

Yes, I couldn't believe it was only 5 euro. To think it was sitting in some warehouse or something all this time. I didn't know it was worth 500+ euro, it was a good investment then! :) The baby hippo does look very similar to that one in the photo, maybe it's just me??

I just got some schleich 2013 horses!! I got :
Hanoverian mare-Nutmeg?
Appaloosa stallion-no name
Haflinger mare-Penny (LOVE her )
Fell pony foal (it's a filly) -no name,any ideas?

They didn't have the Shires ( ,the mama goat,female Boxer,and more.

Cute additions!! (o)):

The baby hippo is exceptionally adorable!!

Wow, this artistic horse for such price!!! AMAZING find!!! Congratulations!

Your other newcomers are also nice :)

Great find, that horse

Thanks for showing. I'll go for the lil fat hippo. The photo of the real hippo looks actually like it's even fatter than the Schleich. He's adorable

^^ Haha!
I was thinking the same thing.

So you think the Schleich hippo looks fat huh?
Wait until you've seen the REAL thing.
BAM!

Congrats on finding that treasure horse!

great new figures! i like the otter.
