Schleich New for 2017

[terrorchicken]

their extant animals are better but Im starting to notice too short legs on the horses and other hoofed animals.

From what i understand on other forums.   Many people are as disgusted about their horses as we are about there dinosaurs. if that makes sense?

[Lanthanotus]

I do not know about the horses as I do not have any interest in them, but my impression is, that the extant animal figures got "clumsier" than they have been before. For years Schleich increased the quality in sculpting of those with ever finer details, but since the last year or two I feel they rowed back a bit.

[CityRaptor]

Yes, I can believe that equine enthusiasts might be more likely to notice the flaws in their horses than we do. They probably have a similar dedication to horses like we have to prehistoric animals.  ( What would be their version of awesomebro fans? Bronies? )

Found a Schleich catalogue for the second half of the year. Kentrosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus and Schädelfalle are the only new additions to Schleich's Dinosaurs line. There is also a page where you have to help various baby animals back to their parents. On that page they share the Raptor from the Schädelfalle with the green one and use the mini as their baby. And the Wildlife range now has a pretty bad Owen Grady-inspired figure:


Also got the magazine version of the Mini Pentaceratops. It's pretty green..even the tongue. The magazine, as expected, is junk. It has a conflicting article on theropods: It says that they live on in birds, but also says that they are not theropods. The comic advertising the Pentaceratops also portrays it easily as startled. It then flees instead of running down those annoying humans.  The comic also promotes the T.rex vs. Spinosaurus 2-pack.  The T.rex tries to eat the Penta, but gets in turn attacked by the Spinosaurus, who according to the narrator also wants to eat the Penta. T.rex defeats the Spinosaurus ( it's unclear if it is dead, but it is at least knocked out ) and then immediatly goes after the Pentaceratops instead of eating the Spinosaurus. ( The narrator describes it as wanting real prey...uh, yeah. )

Awsomebro defined.

Yep, boys between the age of 5 and 12.

For a child a toy (which is a treasure) worth more than all the riches of the world and in this I include Schleich. But for a collector the Schleich dinosaurs are unfortunately not the type of toy dinosaur that he would want in most cases.


But undoubtedly having children would give away differently figures of Playmovil or Jurassic Park are from my point of view more enjoyable, creative and are one hundred percent educational with an abyssal difference. Playmovil as Lego are two companies whose figures are outstanding and more suitable for children than Schleich (without that is why I wish to annoy any followers of the German company)

Sim, I wasn't trying to interact with you with my first comment. I thought that it was pretty clear cause, I repeat, I didn't quote you or called your name.

It seemed very likely you were referring to things I said, even before you confirmed I was indeed one of those you were referring to.  If you don't want to interact with someone, you shouldn't respond to what they say in a way that insults them.  If you do respond in an insulting way, it's quite likely the other person won't tolerate that unfair behaviour and will respond.

I'm entitled to think that an argument is stupid or ridicolous, if you feel offended because you think that such argument is valid I don't know exactly what to do. You want me to apologize? Ok, sorry if I said that I think that this argument is stupid, ridicolous and boring.

You can think arguments of this nature are stupid or ridiculous, but if you express it in public it's quite different to keeping it to yourself, and people have the right to respond and object to it.  Since you said you "don't know exactly what to do", my genuine suggestion is if you express disagreement on here, do it without showing contempt for other forum members or what they say.  It's okay to disagree on what was being discussed, but it's unnecessary and unjustified to insult other forum members while expressing disagreement.  When I read BlueKrono's original post, I don't see anything insulting in it, I see him focusing on points about the matter being discussed.  When I read your post in which you said you were agreeing with BlueKrono's, I see your post becomes filled with criticisms of other forum members, some of which are quite insulting.  The effect your post has is very different to that of BlueKrono's because of this.

Seems like you want to read in my words personal insults at any cost, whereas I only expressed my thought in general, regardless of whoever has the opposite opinion.

No, I want to see and understand people and things as they really are.  If I wanted to read personal insults in your words at any cost, I would have commented on when you said, "This obsession for scientific accuracy is just a thing going on here", but instead I gave you the benefit of the doubt with regards to what you were referring to and didn't say anything about that.  I also wouldn't have felt the need to ask you if some of what you said was referring to things I had said, but instead I did feel the need to ask.

Thanks Takama for the photos of kentrosaurus Schleich is the only one I like this year of this company, what I see is that it has a head too large, but it can be a simple appreciation.

In all ways the figure is fabulous and good. 

[Neosodon]

Looks better than the old one. How big is it? If it's 1:40 I'm getting it for sure.

ITs way too big to be 1:40 Scale. though i cannot say for certain, i think its 1:25 Scale for a more common 4.5 meter individual

[AcroSauroTaurus]

With the duller colors it looks like a good female counterpart to the old one.(which I consider a male)

[Turret]

I guess I should start hunting for one. She will make a good companion to the 2015 model.

[CityRaptor]

Well, this is unexpected. Checking the Schleich site for some more offical info ( for example if they claim something to "justify" their terribly outdated Acro ), I came upon these guys, which are not even in the catalogue:
https://www.schleich-s.com/de/DE/dinosaurs/produkte/tyrannosaurus-rex-14587.html
https://www.schleich-s.com/de/DE/dinosaurs/produkte/carnotaurus-14586.html
https://www.schleich-s.com/de/DE/dinosaurs/produkte/velociraptor-14585.html
Their style seems to be consistent with the Allosaurus.

And then there is this "Dinosaur" Nest.
https://www.schleich-s.com/de/DE/dinosaurs/produkte/dinosaurier-nest-mit-quetzalcoatlus-42349.html
It's meant to be put on top of the Volcano.

Oddly enough, the new Kentro, Acro and trap can't be found.

[Turret]

Those are ... interesting. Are they to be released this half year too?

[Roselaar]

Not for me, thanks. They may be unexpected but they're still bad.

[Shonisaurus]

From my point of view it is an improvement over its predecessors, the tyrannosaurus, velociraptor (feathered) and carnotaurus (new versions) is not the worst that Schleich has done I think they have improved a lot within what is Schleich and that is Thanks.

The tyrannosaurus rex reminds me of a figure in a way less bad than its predecessors and is also bipedal but without such large hooves and I sincerely appreciate it.

The carnotaurus is an improvement in the sense that is not based on the movie Disney but it seems a mix between dinosaurs and robot.

As far as the feathered velociraptor is concerned, these feathers on their eyes give a slightly fiercer appearance and without being a good figure is appreciated a feathered velociraptor.

The quetzalcoatlus nest is great especially for younger children and the rearing of the quetzalcoatlus is a figure that was already designed in the prehistoric cave in which appeared the carnotaurus and the same quetzalcoatlus, next to the young of tyrannosaurus rex and quetzalcoatlus In which as I have already commented said figure and appeared next to a caudipteryx if I am not mistaken.

Without offending any member of the forum, neither the company Schleich nor the followers of Schleich the figures from my point of view are better with regard to Schleich's theropods but that does not mean that they are from the other world, but they have to be given Always to all the companies even to Schleich a margin of confidence and for me a small improvement in its figures or at least a change of image of its figures is something well received.

First of all thank you Cityraptor for this link is a lujazo to see those new figures even if they are by Schleich and to verify that within what they are going to take short steps from my point of view of improvement but that does not mean that their figures are still today Good and I say it with all my respect to the Schleich brand that is the most sold globally.

To me sincerely the two figures that I like most are the carnotaurus (new version) and tyrannosaurus rex (new version), unfortunately the velociraptor is still a figure that has improved little compared to its previous versions. I guess they will be marketed for the Christmas campaign.

For some reason, Schleich's website doesn't work on my laptop's browser, when it tries to load a page it says the connection isn't secure.  So I looked at the pages on my mobile phone.  I find scrolling on Schleich's website doesn't work well on my phone, but I managed to see the figures.

I wonder what Schleich would say if someone emailed them with a photo/image of a Velociraptor skull and asked Schleich why none of their Velociraptor figures have a head that's the right shape, when Schleich claims they are educational?

The quetzalcoatlus nest is great especially for younger children and the rearing of the quetzalcoatlus is a figure that was already designed in the prehistoric cave in which appeared the carnotaurus and the same quetzalcoatlus, next to the young of tyrannosaurus rex and quetzalcoatlus In which as I have already commented said figure and appeared next to a caudipteryx if I am not mistaken.

There isn't a Caudipteryx in that Schleich cave set.  The two feathered figures in that set are Microraptor and Archaeopteryx.

True and I apologize the caudipteryx is from Carnegie, Schleich has never made any figure of that kind of species. And it is true the two figures are the archeopteryx that reminds me of a parrot and the microraptor that is honestly ugly and in some ways monstrous.

I screwed up a hundred percent.
