Schleich - new for 2020

[japfeif]

Just a question @Halichoeres; which is the least-worst in your opinion: the deluxe CollectA Agustinia or Schleich's version for next year?

Actually, I've always thought the CollectA one just looked kinda weird. I mean, weirdly put together. The blue spiky things aren't really individual spikes per se like on this Schleich figure. It almost looks like they took a generic sauropod body and put a "unique" head & neck on it and just attached this blue saddle-like structure with spikes sticking out the sides to the dino's back. And it doesn't really even look like it's made of the same material as the rest of the figure. It seems harder plastic to me. Like it's an obviously-attached plastic piece on a rubber/vinyl dinosaur figure almost as an afterthought. At least that's always been my take on this particular figure (and I'm a hard-core CollectA fan).

Now as the dinosaur is believed now to not have had any spikes at all, it's probably a moot point, but I think if you are going to put spikes on a dinosaur, then make them at least look plausible.

At least the Schleich Agustinia looks like a sauropod with spikes actually attached to and protruding from the sides of its body, whether they are supposed to be there on the actual animal or not.

I was about to share it.
Okay, I spoke too soon. Maybe it's better in person, but the toy in the pic  is way worse than the stock image.

Definitely a sloppier paint job, that's for sure.

Shame, it's not a bad sculpt at all. But, those paint apps...

The feet don't seem to be as over-sized as they first appeared to be. This is good.

The 2020 Schleich baryonyx is very well done. I like the paint job in my case just as the Schleich brand has done. It reminds me a lot of the mythical and missing Battat brand regarding the application of paint in this case. It is a good job by Schleich perhaps by far the best prehistoric animal made this year by this brand by far.

In my opinion, the Schleich Agustinia is much worse than the CollectA Deluxe version. The CollectA one may not be their best figure, but even so, it's superior to the Schleich one, which is pretty bad. The head and neck of the Schleich one make it look like a worm (even more so with the colors they chose for it).

I think that if Schleich really wants to compete with the other brands, they should just leave Vlad Konstantinov sculpt all the dinosaur figures (and if he can't sculpt them all, they can have a year with fewer releases but all made by him).If they just left Vlad, that would lend to some very nice sculpts like the Spinosaurus and Psittacosaurus. And a little improvement in the colour scheme department would be appreciated too.

Only the baryonx looks good

Schleich's new Baryonyx looks pretty good!  I look forward to seeing more of this figure.  If I get it, it would be the first Schleich figure I'd own.  I wonder why Schleich doesn't employ the sculptor of this Baryonyx to do more figures.  The other new for 2020 Schleich figures all look quite poor and I imagine they are done by a different sculptor.

I think it could be really nice if the sculptor of this Baryonyx did a Ceratosaurus and at least one good dromaeosaurid for Schleich.  I'd expect a Ceratosaurus to be a big improvement over Schleich's previous version, just like with Baryonyx.  I'd like Schleich to do a good figure of Velociraptor.  They've based their figures of it on the JP version so many times, I'd like them to represent the real animal.  Another choice that could be nice is Austroraptor.  If Schleich were to make Velociraptor or Austroraptor, I'd want both fully feathered and not half-feathered.

Only the suchomimus looks good

which is the spino and stego brand please???

In my opinion, here are my top schleich picks
1.Tyrannosaurus
2.baryonx(not a suchomimus, as I said in my last post)
3. Dracorex
4.psittacosaurus
5. Diabloceratops
6.Juvenile giganotosaurus
7.Carnotaurus
8.pentaceratops
9.Old giganotosaurus
10.Dimetrodon

Both are American rippoffs of the French company, Papo. The company I got mine from was Boley, but they did change the sculpt to do the point its not really that much of a ripoff of the original. I repainted them, so you wont get them in this color. If you want to buy, then look here https://www.amazon.com/Boley-Pack-Educational-Dinosaur-Toys/dp/B07BFL79QD/ref=sr_1_54?keywords=dinosaurs&qid=1575922153&sr=8-54

Whatever on may think of the accuracy and paint work, the usual Schleich high production values are evident. As a side note, I really think that the teeth on the theropods are excessively rounded to a degree that was not necessary for child safety.

[Shonisaurus]

The postosuchus and the Schleich cryolophosaurus are figures that I am honestly not passionate about, I see them as being quite loose. The Schleich cryolophosaurus is a rather poorly finished figure and in some ways ungainly, the postosuchus is also not well polished from the paleoartistic point of view of the toy dinosaur. They are perhaps the two looser Schleich figures.

The baryonyx is a more than acceptable figure well done although as indicated by blunt teeth intended for children to not suffer damage is a precaution from my point of view quite exaggerated.

The ankylosaurus and agustinia look pretty well worked. The head of the agustinia is much more realistic than the Collecta version and the ankylosaurus looks quite detailed.

This year 2020 Schleich figures within the range of toy are as always impeccable but within the range of the collector of figures of dinosaurs and other prehistoric toy animals a bit debatable. They are more dedicated figures as is logical to children and not to those of us who are adult collectors. Anyway, Schleich's choice has been good and I congratulate his sculptor or sculptors. I hope that in June they will improve their production even more.

Ugly, minus the Ankylosaurus they all look ugly.

[Patrx]

2020, and they're going to make another sauropod with nails/claws on each hand. Man, they never learn!

[Loon]

I'd have to agree, unfortunately. Though, I do kinda think the suchomimus isn't too bad. Honestly, that Cryolophosaurus is like early CollectA quality, it has to be one of, if not, the worst dinosaur model if seen in years.

I wonder if the sculptor, I don't remember their name, who did the Spinosaurus and psittacosaurus was behind any of these.
