Schleich - New for 2023

[suspsy]

I suspect that the Edmontosaurus will turn out decent enough, just like this year's Parasaurolophus. Generally, it's hard to seriously botch a hadrosaur. Similarly, the Monolophosaurus will probably be like the Majungasaurus and the Ceratosaurus.

The Gallimimus is hyping me.
But it's Schleich...
Do you think it will be feathered or JP like ?

[Libraraptor]

I hope at least one will turn out okay.

[BlueKrono]

Glad these are all an easy pass for me. There are far too many interesting JWIII toys coming down the pipeline. 💸

[Nimravus]

Honestly, I do not have any expectations on these figures whatsoever

[SBell]

A Gallimimus would be interesting if it were any other company--but I also don't expect much.

Hopefully it will be like the Oviraptor from a few years ago. We shall just have to cross our fingers and wait.

The same website has a "Shadow Raptor" listed for 2023 as part of the Eldrador fantasy line. It'll be coloured black and purple with translucent bits just like the other Shadow beasts:

@dinotoyforum, shall we start up a "New for 2023" subforum? We know this website to be reliable.

[Halichoeres]

Boy, this is probably going to be a real monkey-paw wish for anyone who's been asking for a Gallimimus figure.

[CityRaptor]

There are two threads with this topic, I guess merging them is in order.

[Szajmin]

For only interested in Gallimimus.

I only hope that it won't be some kind of featherless abomination with "bunny arms"

[suspsy]

Do we know how many Schleich toys Konstantinov has done? And the identity of the other sculptor?

[GojiraGuy1954]

DTF members racing to make a new thread the microsecond we get news that Schleich still exists next year

This image is now circulating online. Assuming these silhouettes are more or less representative of the actual toys, then people might as well keep on looking for a good Gallimimus toy. 



UPDATE: it appears to be fake. Thank goodness!

@suspsy

The Image Is Fake

The Tarbosaurus is Ripped from Jurassic World Alive

[suspsy]

Whew! That's a relief!

Could you repost the fake images? I want to make sure I don't fall for the fake images if I see them again out in the wild

[suspsy]

Sure, here it is:

[MLMjp]

Like many others, interested in this new line-up, but extremely cautious as it is schleich.

I get the impression the prices reflect how "impressive" each is, in which case the Tarbosaurus and Edmontosaurus would be the biggest, Gastonia might be the next largest or its price might reflect the complexity of its spikes, Monolophosaurus would be smaller and Gallimimus the smallest.

Unsurprising. Edmontosaurus is a large animal and schleich please make a good annectens
