Schleich World of History

[docronnie]

There are fake Papos with fake Schleichs sold as a set in Divi, Docronnie. Interestingly enough, they repainted the Schleich rex brown. Hahaha! I guess these are not bad for repainting practice. I'll probably get the fake Giga.

I did not see the brown Rex but saw the green one. Yup, they are sold in sets of 8 I think, for only a thousand.  I did not see the others, they were not on display.

Speaking of knockoffs, look at what I saw at Target today:



*LOL*

[Paleona]

Lol, I love the name xD  Looks like they were in one of those $1 bins on an endcap? 

[Tyrannosauron]

Battat has really got to look into changing the poor plastic on their new rex figures. 

[Fembrogon]

Lol, I love the name xD  Looks like they were in one of those $1 bins on an endcap?

Yeah, pretty much. I don't even remember the specific price or company name, but I certainly didn't see Schleich's name anywhere. 
I can do a follow-up in a few days when I visit again (y'know, looking for those cheap ol' Battat figures...).

I saw them today at Target too. They are hollow and have a seamline in the middle.

I took more photos on my visit today:

The funny thing is, I'd probably spend the seven bucks on these guys rather than fifteen-twenty on the legit figures.

Agreed, not to be rude but I don't respect Schleich enough as a company or their dinosaurs as a product to not buy bootlegs. They are the ones who let their quality drop so low that they can scarcely be distinguished from bootlegs.

[pylraster]

Seamlines and bad paint aside, the quality isn't too far from the original. Anyone with the new Giga yet?

[pylraster]

Even some bootlegs have better color.... not to mention non-pronated hands. Weird.

Wow, they even matched the colors...

[SpartanSquat]

Thinking the other days guys...do you think schleich will replace some dinosaurs figures for new molds? I mean the minis have different molds and the smalls are only 6 models form the big ones. I was thinking: Do you think some models will be retired the next year like parasaurolophus, stegosaurus, saichania, sauropods?

[CityRaptor]

The Para is already retired. I don't see them retiring the others yet, unless they think that Sauropods are wimps...

You wont believe me, but until I read you and see the website, I didnt notice the Para was retired! I hope they will remake saurpods and make some rare ones like shunosaurus.

[Takama]

My Collection so far.

[pylraster]

The kentrosaurus is really sweet-lookin'.

[LophoLeeVT]

yes it is the best model of schleich
i also hope to see more improvents as well!

[kreativtek]

I just ordered a 2009 Apatosaurus (the big and heavy one) as a Christmas gift for myself and I cannot wait to receive it. Could someone please post a comparison of this model with, say, Papo Brachiosaurus? I want to see how it will stack against my other figures.

[tanystropheus]

I like the Thirizinosaurus because its so bad its good.   Whats supposed to be a Herbivore is made into Something that walked right out of a Godzilla Movie. Complte with a demented face

Ditto.

[pylraster]

 I thought the big apato was retired, or is it back in stock?
