Is that a vulture in the lower left next to the Shleich Dilophosaurus?

yes, it is. A Griffon Vulture, Gyps fulvus to be precise.

Pretty good. A bit heavy on Schleich though.

they are the only animal figures sold around here. I am slowly gaining more non-Schleich.

p.s. is it bad to have a lot of Schleich?

Nice collection!

And no, it's not bad to have a lot of Schleich, especially if you like them.

thanks! ok, I wasn't sure, I know how much hate they get.

Halichoeres · July 03, 2015, 08:55:09 PM

I think one reason they get so much hate (like Papo) is that the production is really, really good. That might sound paradoxical, but with the amount of effort and love that clearly go into the production, people get frustrated when Schleich appears to give short shrift to anatomical details (proportions, number of toes, postures).

I also think that many people have your experience, which is to say that the local shop carries only Schleich. I think that frustrates people too, to an extent that they rip on Schleich somewhat out of proportion to their sins. But I think joossa is completely correct: you should collect what you like! I have figures from at least 20 different manufacturers, including several great-looking Schleich pieces.

Plasticbeast95 · July 04, 2015, 12:06:19 AM

ok!

thanks!

I started out collecting quite a few Schleichs, but I tended to gravitate towards the more 'lifelike' brands (e.g. Papo and REBOR). I also collect Wild Safaris - I think they are the most balanced of all brands. Schleichs are a bit too inconsistent for my taste. They also have a wannabe Papo vibe to them. However, recently, Schleich made excellent Kentro and Penta models. Their newer T-rexes are also pretty decent.

LophoLeeVT · July 06, 2015, 05:05:58 AM

if you collect shleich the pentaceratops is a must get.

Nice shots! The Schleich Parasaurolophus is a favorite of mine!

Well it sure looks more like a plucked V-raptor than it does a Troodon. The image dosn't show it, but that head screams Velociraptor.

LophoLeeVT · October 03, 2015, 05:09:11 PM

oh really i got the same one and it was labeled troodon on the package

Ya, its very Velociraptor like, without a hint of troodon.

Plasticbeast95 · October 06, 2015, 09:54:38 PM

I don't believe I've posted these here yet:

Triceratops

Allosaurus getting a drink

Pachycephalosaurus

Tyrannosaurus (medium blue)

Not really a dinosaur, but I like this photo:

Alligator

LophoLeeVT · October 07, 2015, 04:12:53 PM

it looks like a proterosuchus from walking with monsters just get a lot of them with a lot lystrosaur models and that will do the trick.

Heh, ya. its suppose to be an alligator, but the jaw is all sorts of wonky. it honestly does look more like a Proterosuchus.
