New Schleich 2008

[thetyrantlizard]

Mercifully Schleich is releasing new dinosaurs for 2008. They are replacements for some of their old figures.

The spinosaurus--this is a huge improvement from their previous release:



Heck, this resembles the JP/// spino more than Papo spino does :



the allosaurus:



The resemblance to the WWD dwarf allosaurus, especially in the head shape, is clear, and probably not coincidental ;D Papo's lack of originality is spreading ;D

the brachiosaurus:


Now this one I'm unsure about--I kind of like the previous one with the nasal pad more

Nice find

I'm glad the line did not disappear but I still can't believe they retired the marine ones.

[thetyrantlizard]

Hopefully the marine reptiles are being resculpted and will come back in a few years. Most 'dinosaur' lines always have one or two

They are quite ugly!

Says the proud owner of a JP/// poseable spino ;D

[tomhet]

I don't know why, but I love the whole Schleich line, even if some of them are pretty crude, so they'll probably make it to my want list

[Agustín]

To be quite honest, all of those look rather ugly.

I hate spinosaurus standing on its four legs
