[The Templar of the Past]

What was the last time Schleich made an useful extinct figure? Dinogorgon I think?

Gastonia, which I think represents a different species to the Haolonggood Gastonia too!  The "Oviraptor" released the same year as the Dinogorgon is excellent too.  I wasn't keen on it at first, but after I got it I can confirm it's a very good figure of the 100/42 oviraptorid.

Frankly I kind of wish I were smarter in 2008 and got prettier figures from Schleich when they were available, the only one that I'm satisfied with is their Quetzalcoatlus.
I think that their older figures had some sort of vintage more naturalistic charm to them unlike the cartoonish ones they make today, though to be honest back then they had also managed to make an absolutely disgusting Smilodon.

If you think the Smilodon is disgusting, wait till you see the original Schleich Ceratosaurus and Albertosaurus!  I think Schleich has always been inconsistent.  Unlike other forum members I don't have a high opinion of most of their older figures, but I think their original Pteranodon is still one of the best figures of that species.

original Schleich Ceratosaurus and Albertosaurus!

Though from what I understand those two are much older than their Smilodon, which I'd expect would also be harder to screw-up.
