i believe they changed them to be more in scale with the horses. some of the older bigger dogs (if i remember correctly because i dont have any) are the same size of a pony. so they scaled them down a bit. same goes for a lot of barn animals all the ones i have are quite small.



all of them including doubles, repaints and fairytale horses is 272
without the above mentioned horses its 245

Wild horse stables, is your profile picture a schleich Frisian?

yep it's a picture i took a year or 2 ago of the 2010 friesian stallion my first ever schleich

That’s really cool! You take like professional pictures!

My first schleich was a lunar new year 2011 Tennessee walker stallion and a 2001 akhal-teke stallion

Hmmm, i suppose that's a good enough reason, but i still don't like it. I mean, they don't have to be huge or anything, but i thought the older size was fine. They lose detail when they are smaller too, or at least it seems like it to me. Also, some of the smaller creatures, like frogs and snakes, mice and guinea pigs and rodents, for example, are larger because if they made them to the same scale as the horses, it'd be ridiculous. They don't HAVE to be exact that way. But i suppose some, such as those who play with them as toys (i just collect), would prefer them to be sized down. Different strokes for different folks ha ha.



Ooh, is that one of those special edition ones? I've heard of those but never actually seen one!

I sure wish i could remember what my first Schleich was.

thank youuu



thats true,
ive tought about it before but schleich should really come out with some kind of collectors line with more realistic animals

Famousamos, yes it is a special edition and I also have a 2000 Lippizanner mare that is special edition, that was only sold in … I think it was Germany at the schleich store for only like a week. And wild horse stables your welcome

oh cool do you think you could find a pic of it online id love to see it.
i have a few harder to get horses to like a small army of magazine exclusives and 2 out of 6 horse mc donalds exclusives

Sure I can put up a pic ( How do you do that again? )

My first schleich was I cant remember the year but shes the old standing white Arabian mare with it looked like a cream mame.
(Sorry if I confuse you guys)

Did she have her head turned and a sweet expression cause I have that one

Does any body know, seen or bought from Sugarrosestudios.com? She has AMAZING reprints!

*repaints* sorry

yea ive seen her round. shes quite expencive tough

Yes but her models are really pretty and realistic

Do y’all know how to get schleich that is EXTREMLY old?

I think you'd have to hit up either flea markets, garage sales, or Ebay, and then get EXTREMELY lucky lol.

Ok thank you. Also it it true that Aleinexpress.com (I think that’s what it’s called) has fake schleich?

Yes she is the one with her head turned

I have never seen her, or any repaint artists before personally, but she has some pretty ones! Far too expensive for me, but nice to look at



Nor have i ever seen a website with fake schleich models, but thought i'd check it out to see how it works so that maybe i could spot such things in the future...as it is i cannot even get the page to come up. Its like it doesn't exist or is spelled wrong or something. Oh well, probably for the best anyway. Who knows what might come with downloading such a site as that.

You mean aliexpress?
I have barely been online this past month or so and didnt get any new schleich either

yep those cheap sites like wish and aliexpress do have fake schleichs. some discount stores near me actually also have some fakes

So they actually claim to be real Schleich models, made by Schleich, and try to pass them off as such? Crazy.

well they tend to take schleichs molds and either recolour or give them the exact colour as schleich but they usually wont go so far as to claim that they are schleichs.
but they are very clearly ripoffs.
here is an ali express one it has ripoffs of sevral horse models including exclusives. i found it by searching schleich on aliexpress.
