Completing the Schleich Page

[SidB]

I must admit, quite willingly, that Suspsy serves as my exemplar for this thread, since he has shouldered the burden of several "Completing the ... " pages already. A search, on my part, for a Schleich page proved fruitless, so here it is! Why, you may ask, since this company has attracted a lot of flak, well-deserved, from many people, including yours truly. Well, several reasons:

1) Like it or not, its a major line, historically
2) There's a lot of Schleich dinosaurs (and prehistoric mammals, secondarily) out there
3) The vote counts on the DTB for reviews of their products are generally very high
4) They really have made some quite good items over the long drum-roll of the years

So, here's a list, doubtlessly not complete, of items still waiting for a review (hint, hint ...):

ReplicaSaurus:
 
Allosaurus, second edition, w/o moveable jaw, 2008
Apatosaurus, original blue tail-dragger
Apatosaurus blue baby for above
Elasmosaurus
Giganotosaurus, large original, w/o moveable jaw
Parasaurolophus, green, crouching forwards, original
Pteranodon, brown
Quetzalcoatlus original brown, outstretched wings
Quetzalcoatlus, second edition, white/ blue outstretched wings
Saichania, second edition, brown and big (prior to the World of History one with the grey back))
Stegosaurus original beige version
Stegosaurus second edition with reddish plates (the larger precursor of the W of History copy)
Triceratops original, bluish-grey, head down to charge
Tyrannosaurus Rex, first edition, brown, upright
Tyrannosaurus Rex, second edition, 2006?, brown, upright
Tyrannosaurus Rex, dark brown, horizontal pose


Smaller figures:

Apatosaurus, tail-dragger, grey 2004
Dilophosaurus 2002
Quetzalcoatlus c. 2002, brown
Velociraptor c. 2002, green

2014

2015

I of scales and in absolute terms of paleontology I have no idea, but you can see the scale in this case of the standard Collecta dinosaurs in the page www.urzeitshop.de I pass for example, a link of the achelosaurus,

The scale on which this figure is made is 1:40

I hope this helps you

Looks like you've posted in the wrong thread, Shonisaurus. I think this is the thread you're looking for:

[suspsy]

Ah, this is good, well done! Off the top of my head, a few more you need to add to this list: the

2014 Velociraptor w/movable jaw
2015 Schleich Giganotosaurus w/movable jaw
2015 small Triceratops
2015 small Therizinosaurus
2015 small Tyrannosaurus rex
2015 small Velociraptor
2016 small Dimorphodon
All 2015 and 2016 miniatures

Somehow the original ReplicaSaurus Tyrannosaurus got lost in the shuffle, so I'm adding it now.

[stegosauria]

Last year Schleich released 4 minis too even if they are already retiring.

Thank you, Ravonium I was wrong about the thread I'm so sorry.

@ suspsy
@stegosauria

Thanks for the updates, I've added them to the list. Looks like there's work cut out for any interested reviewers.

[stegosauria]

I had a good bunch of Schleich figures, not all that wait for a review but a good amount (even all the minis plus the puzzles). I didn't write any review yet but I'd like to review the Dimorphodon and the Waterhole set of the minis at least. Maybe I can do the red Therizinosaurus if nobody wants to do that.

Of the older models I had a Triceratops (I think the Replicasaurus one before the World of History one and originally that was the first entry on the blog), the white Quetzalcoatlus (that's missing from the list), the red plated Stegosaurus and I can make comparing photos of the last two and their smaller WoH versions too.

[SidB]

I've added the Quetzalcoatlus, plus the original brown one and the Pteranodon, all ReplicaSaurs plus a c. 2002 small Quetz. This list is a growth industry!

[stegosauria]

And I think the Anhanguera and the Saltasaurus from around 2006 should get a revisit too. The reviews are just a few rows with original promo shots.

[SidB]

Those were quite decent releases from Schleich. I have both, and the Saltasaurus, in particular, had real merit, back in the day.

[IrritatorRaji]

I could do the Suchomimus if no one else can?

[SidB]

That seems appropriate, though I'm not exactly sure who gives the go-ahead formally. General consensus?

[SidB]

Here's a thought - presupposing that reviewers typically should have a physical copy of a figure at hand in order to attempt a decent review of said specimen, perhaps many  of our reviewers  lack access to the listed animals. On the other hand, I have most of them and potentially am willing to loan out items for review. The catch is that I live in Toronto and don't know if there are interested parties nearby. Possibilities?

... just a visual reference ...

[SidB]

Splendid, and helpful (as usual). Thanks!

[SidB]

There's an updated and expanded review of Schleich's 2006-10 ReplicaSaurus version of the Saltasaurus, now on the DTB It was one of their best models, but apparently didn't sell well.
