Schleich - new for 2016

[CityRaptor]

It has been mentioned in one thread that he is getting them for free.  Just not sure which one.

A video showing schleich 2016 assortment in toy fair. I recommend not to pay attention to what the people say in the video and focus on the figures. And be carefull with the minis and Dilophosaurus, your eyes can hurt.

The volcano just looks cooler and cooler, and the stego skeleton has articulation so is not always in standing pose.
Also the small saichania looks fantastic.

I skipped parts of the video when it seemed nothing interesting was going to be shown.  I noticed the people talking said some things that weren't correct, but I was really surprised by what they said about the Dunkleosteus!  It's from 4:21 to 4:48.  It's really funny!  I wonder what Halichoeres thinks about this?

Yep , that's what I said not pay attention to the audio

Ha ha, which part? The part where it came out of the sea? I mean, listen, the only good thing a fish can do, in terms of evolution, is become a tetrapod, obviously. This "first giants" sub-line does make me perk up my ears, I must admit, even if toy company reps are fuzzy on evolutionary history (by the same token, I would probably be terrible at marketing).

Ha ha!

I just re-watched the part about the Dunkleosteus and it still makes me laugh.  Not wanting to meet it in a back alley ("No man.  That's crazy.").  How it's a great way to teach about early reptiles and what came out of the sea ("Yeah that came out of the sea all right.").  They certainly know how to market toys in a fun way!

[CityRaptor]

Now if only their facts were straight and their models better.

Of course! Atlantis is broing, after all.

[Shonisaurus]

Certainly the dunkleosteus Schleich unfortunately differs with respect to the prototype. His eyes are rare.

Moreover, the Herrerasaurus thought it would be very bad and has not been, he defends himself as a figure.

The Barapasaurus has too rechamantes colors such as Tyrannosaurus rex (I know that many of his figures are regarding colors inspired paleoartists great, but do not convince me.

Surely I will buy the dunkleosteus and Barapasaurus. The Herrerasaurus better leave later. Convinces me more that of Collecta far.

Hmmm, they say they are "educational", and whats a "Braparus"?...

[terrorchicken]

I just saw the dragolophosaurus and papotrodon at TRUS today. They looks about as bad as they did in the promos.

[stargatedalek]

Again, Papo stole that Dimetrodon too, just saying.

[CityRaptor]

Of course. Schleich is basically doing what Papo did, but worse.

The glued-toegether Therivelociraptosaurus is still among their worst.

[CityRaptor]

As bad as the Mini Velociraptor actually being an Indominus Rex?

Dumber. The 'beak' looks like an after thought glued to the tip of the snout of a raptor. And the claws are...odd. Again, like they stuck long claws to the fingertips of a different animal.

[sauroid]

they stole Papo's Dimetrodon design.
another one of Schleich's abominations is that horribly disproportioned (red) Carnotaurus.

[Sim]

I find Schleich's Velociraptor figures just as terrible as their Therizinosaurus figures.  The exception is their first Velociraptor, which while still clearly an imitation of the JP characters and not a good figure, doesn't look as obnoxious as all the other Schleich Velociraptor figures.

So Schleich called the line "The first giants" because they think that all these animals pre-date dinosaurs?

I think that's just one of the mistakes the people talking in the video made, since Herrerasaurus, Dilophosaurus and Barapasaurus are all under that "line".

[ItsTwentyBelow]

I saw the new Schleich Dimetrodon and Dilophosaurus at Toysrus today, no others.

The Dimetrodon is pretty terrible, very crude finish, overly large feet. Easy pass if you've got the Papo already. Or any other Dimetrodon besides this one, really.

Same goes for the Dilopho, so freakish looking.

The Dunkleosteus is a maybe, when I see it. I can thank Dinotopia for turning me on to that beast!

The Barapasaurus is intriguing somehow...

[sauroid]

i might buy the Dunk,and might consider the Herrerasaurus, although it is too big.

[Mauro "Raptor86"]

The Schleich Herrerasaurus is huge, considering that this dinosaur was tiny, it should be a 1: 6 scale at least.

Well in Jurassic Park they're supposed to be big, about 6 m long!
