Schleich - New for 2025

[The Templar of the Past]

I like megalodon, their teeth are abundant in my neck-of-the-woods and although I have yet to find one I will certainly be ecstatic when I do. That said, I have no figures of one, because I don't really feel like trying to fit what is basically a great white shark in my prehistoric animal cabinet. I will be getting this one though, even if it's really just another great white. I can't ignore adding one to my collection forever.

I feel you, I solved the issue by deciding that once I'll do that diorama I'll have only one of them swimming in the ocean and the other hanged from the tail in a port or on a ship (the Schleich great white is pretty good for that purpose, with its slightly bent caudal fin and open mouth).

The Schleich megalodon is missing from the first post of this thread and from dinotoycollector.com!

It's very similar but to be fair, there's only so many ways you can really pose a shark

True, and TBH, when I saw the W-Dragon, I was immediately reminded of the Safari Monterey Bay Aquarium Great White because it's the same pose.

I was more amused by one being sold as an O. Megalodon, and the other as a C. Carcharias.

Ironically, I think W-Dragon's Megalodon 'Ghost Jaw' is one of the very few available that isn't just a Great White sculpt.

I would like a model (according to recent studies led by Kenshu Shimada) that portrays Megalodon with a body akin to the lemon shark. The argument for the differences in body shape makes sense. I'm not sure if the actual paper is published yet.

BTW, that W-Dragon model is pretty cool, @Over9K
