Schleich New for 2017

[Lanthanotus]

[...]
I have to admit I like the new T. rex, despite its shrinkwrapped head, but it certainly has an anachronistic charme for me. On the plus side it also seems to have decently sized feet, binocular vision, an overall correctly shaped skull and it certainly does not look like a JP rex.

.... and seeing Takama's photos I have to add that the head seems to be oversized so that the whole proportions looks like that of a juvenile. Guess I'll see that in person before deceiding wheter to buy or skip it.

[sauroid]

all along i thought Schleich was improving. that rex is as bad as most of their output.

[BlueKrono]

The rex does not look accurate to me, but I can't quite put my finger on why. The only thing I like about it is the Papo-like scale detail.

[AcroSauroTaurus]

It looked good in the catalog image... the real figure looks terrible...

[Silvanusaurus]

I thought the head looked big and short in the stock photo because of the angle and subsequent perspective/foreshortening, but nope, its actually just really weird looking. Its still probably the best dinosaur Schleich have released in a while, but i no longer have any interest in selling my soul and purchasing it.

2 questions: I am not a huge Schleich fan so these may be dumb questions or have been address before.

1) Is the new Acro not a part of the "Conquering the Earth" series? Everything Dinosaurs has it listed just as "Acrocanthosaurus", but the Velociraptor, T.rex, & Carno are listed as part of the "Conquering the Earth" series like the Stego, new Allo, new Brachio, and Utahraptor are (or they NOT part of it either...after looking at the Everything Dino" page again, Allo & Brachio aren't listed as being part of the "Conquering the Earth" series either, and I guess I thought they were since they seem to be of the same scale as the others)

2) Alot of folks are making a huge deal (mostly complimentary) of the new Kentrosaurus. How exactly is this one different (so I assume perceived as "better") than the one from 2015, which was raved about for the most part and STILL being praised? Seems odd they made a new Kentro just 2 years after their previous one, unless there were some major improvements or it was made in a different scale.

Reason for question #1 is because the only Schleichs I actively collect are the ones from the World of History series (I've no interest in the minis, etc.), and what has basically replaced them since the WoH line is no longer, and I believe that the different lines they come out with now each year, like "The First Giants", "Conquering the Earth", etc. have basically replaced the World of History line, and I was curious as to how the new Allo, Brachio, Acro, etc. fit into this scheme.

All of 2017 models are a part of the conquring the Earth line

There are things I want to see from schleich next year:
1. No reusing dinosaurs from previous years
2. New dinosaurs that can please people
3. Different prehistoric creatures (I might not happen, however).
4. Perhaps some remakes (examples: Torosaurus, Pteranodon.)

I reallly want to get my hands on this to review.

WTF?! Why couldn't Schleich..... Okay! Papo, I'm trusting you to make a Daspletosaurus model now.

[Jose S.M.]

That T. rex has something that makes me not like it, I don't know if it's something about the proportions. When I look at that head only shot, aside from shrinkwrapping, it looks well proportionate and it looks like a (starving) T. rex, but the whole body pictures are weird, kinda looks like one of those disproportionate bobble-head figures to me.

[sauroid]

that rex looks like an old school claymation model

[Rathalosaurus]

Something inside of me wants to get this just to re-do it... but I know I'm not that good at customizing things...

What do you mean?

[Neosodon]

Nothing special but at least it's a slight improvement over their previous T. rex with the mega hips.

[Shonisaurus]

I pass two links with the novelties of Schleich by Rupi Bolz. One comes with packing and the three new dinosaurs (tyrannosaurus, carnotaurus and feathered velociraptor) and another of tyrannosaurus rex. It must be recognized that it is a remarkable improvement over their figures of the same species that have preceded them and that I am not a supporter of Schleich.

Going to the point I pass the two links,

It's basically a bastardized (Super Deformed/Chibi) version of the Griffon/Master Fossil model.

He is saying it is a Mangled Version of this model

[SpartanSquat]

Velociraptor

Probably some of the old models will be replaced like spinosaurus, giganotosaurus, anhaguera, pentaceratops

I guess They are going lipless for all there Raptor models now. (a trend started with this years Utahraptor)

Still I wish that the Raptor that was released was the one from the Three pack
