Schleich—New for 2020

[suspsy]

I think I'll snap up that reindeer for my son's collection. I especially like the fact that the tips of its antlers are blunted!

Just don't let it run over grandma, @suspsy

I'd say my mother-in-law is more wary of the CollectA anaconda. Or the chomping Schleich crocodile.

So you went with the Schleich croc after all?

I did. As I will write in my eventual review, it's not the best representation out there, but it's decent enough, and it's easily available and affordable, which are big positives when you're buying for a toddler. I think the upcoming Southlands Replicas saltwater crocodile will blow every other plastic crocodilian out of the water (no pun intended), but I'm not about to plunk down more than $20 (not to mention shipping) on an animal figure that my son could easily end up accidentally damaging or losing.

Although I may well get the saltie for myself.

Is the new tortoise Galapagos or Aldabra? I'm asking this as I would want to see if this can go with the other Schleich Aldabra tortoises, and also I wish to have three of each type of tortoise I own.

nice @BramS
I recently bought this figure too; the sculpt is very nice, but I wish it was a little bigger

[BramS]

I love it , it has very nice details   

[suspsy]

I too would like to know whether that tortoise is Galapagos or Aldabra.

@suspsy morphologically it appears to be a Galapagos. Interestingly the most recent Papo 'Galapagos tortoise' has a nuchal scute, supporting its identity as an Aldabra tortoise.

Schleich tends to have pretty standard species selections, so it likely is the more well-known Galapagos. I'd be surprised if Aldabras were even on their radar. The two tortoises are quite similar in appearance, and this one doesn't look more like one than the other.

What species is the Hammerhead though?

[Physeter macrocephalus]

What species is the Hammerhead though?

I think it's a great hammerhead shark.

[JimoAi]

What do you guys think of the hammerhead sharks?

[Gwangi]

Can't really identify the hammerhead based on the cephalofoil but the tall dorsal fin seems to suggest it's a great hammerhead.

I just found a low quality image showing hammerhead shark showing their head I just compare with the schleich one its clearly a great hammerhead.

I like the older one but this figure is a good figure I wish they make a giant tortoise baby.

NOTE:We are getting a tortoise set wich includes baby tortoises.

[Advicot]

Yes, but the cost is too much in my opinion for them, it's £12.83 on MiniZoo!

It's Galapagos.

I got the Reindeer.  I am quite pleased with that figure.
