Schleich - new for 2019

[Brocc21]

It'll be nice for my safari giga to get a well sculpted friend as I don't yet have the Carnegie one.

Great to see those close-up pics from all angles! Thanks for sharing those, @Flaffy. This figure does not disappoint

If it is smaller than the collect deluxe Spinosaurus....then there's no point for me....The figure looks AMAZING though.

Why is there no point? Spinosaurus come in all shapes and sizes depending on their immediate habitat, dietary intake and relative age.

Because it wouldn't be in scale with whatever scale they want?

I've pretty much stopped buying anything smaller than 1:25th (1:15th for modern animals) because I've specifically switched to 1:12th scale as a rule and there is only so much realistic variation even among extinct taxa with small sample sizes.

That being said I don't see this being very far off in size from the CollectA Deluxe, they both seem to be roughly a foot?

Nothing smaller than 1:25? That pretty much rules out almost all large herbivores and carnivores.

I'd rather that than have Tyrannosaurs shorter than flamingos. 1:25th is larger than you probably think, JP figures qualify for example.

Exactly my point, I dont need a Spinosaurus figure that represents the maximum size of the creature, but since I like my collection to be in scale then I need a Spinosaurus figure that matches up well with, in my case, the Safari 2017 Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus. The Collecta Spinosaurus fits that spot nicely, but Schleich's Spinosaurus looks much better, so it makes sense for me to want it to be in the same size.

@stargatedalek I do hope it is about the same size, it is just that the picture makes it looks small. But then again, we dont know how big the hand is, so there is still a posibility. We will see later.

Sincerely Schleich spinosaurus is one of the best spinosaurus (updated scientific version) made by a toy dinosaur company. It's on par with quality dinosaur toy companies like the ones I mentioned, @MLMjp though I would not venture to say which of the spinosaurus is better.

[Gothmog the Baryonyx]

The in-hand photos show that the Spinosaurus is definitely a fantastic figure. The size is perfect for me too, I am going to have to get it. Not keen on movable jaws, but it's a minor problem.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one in the forum not interested in articulated jaws.

Honestly I agree with you I like the figures of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals made in one piece. Completely agree with you.

As you say, in my case that is not going to be an obstacle to buying that beauty made by the Schleich brand.

[Gwangi]

I like articulated jaws because it means I can just close them and keep it that way. I don't like open mouthed figures as much as closed, and closed mouth figures are rare.

I don't like articulations in the jaws or elsewhere, but I concede that this is a significant upside.

[Brocc21]

I think I might like this spino more that the new safari one. Guess its the pose.

I think both Spinosauruses are great.

[Brocc21]

Yeah they are but I like that he's standing.

[Shonisaurus]

Honestly I like Schleich 2019 spinosaurus more than Safari 2019. Both are very nice but I find Schleich's sculpture more attractive and I apologize to Doug because that figure is not better for me than Schleich's .

Schleich spinosaurus I like more from my personal point of view although there is something in favor of the figure of Safari which is that it does not have articulated jaws, which I appreciate. I prefer rigid jaws without joints.

[Renecito]

I really love this new spinosaurus!!! I only hate its small size!!!

[Halichoeres]

I think these images are genuine, if small. The Dimetrodon and Giganotosaurus both look like repaints to me.





Hard pass.

Damn, why does Schleich think their Giganotosaurus style is good? That skull is HORRIFIC and I am devastated that they would release this alongside such a beautiful Spinosaurus.

Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get some better figures when NY Toyfair
