New Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models for 2015
New Additions to the Schleich Model Range
Team members at Everything Dinosaur had been informed about the pending changes to Schleich’s prehistoric animal portfolio and now we can share with readers the first pictures of the exciting new replicas Schleich intend to launch next year.
Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models
First item of news, the “dinosaurs” range, a set of small prehistoric animal models made by Schleich, are going to be retired. We suspect that the retirement will be formally announced at the end of this year. This range, which at one stage grew to consist of twelve prehistoric animal replicas, has been gradually reduced in number and by the end of the year it will no longer be available. The replacement model series will consist of eight figures. There will be seven dinosaurs plus one pterosaur (Quetzalcoatlus).

A Colourful Range
It is certainly a colourful range and it will include lots of favourite dinosaurs (Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Spinosaurus, T. rex etc). We are particularly looking forward to pairing up the Pentaceratops in this new range with the larger “World of History” Pentaceratops that came out this year.

Due to be Retired – The Schleich “Dinosaurs” Range

To view Everything Dinosaur’s existing Schleich replica range including the last of the soon to be retired “dinosaurs”: Schleich Prehistoric Animal Models and Replicas.
Our advice is to get these models whilst stocks last. Sadly, once they are retired, the price of these replicas will soar as collectors strive to acquire them for their collections.
In addition, Everything Dinosaur team members believe that Schleich intends to add a further two models to its “World of History” replica range. The two new additions for 2015 are Kentrosaurus and that toothsome member of the Pterosauria – Anhanguera.

Schleich Kentrosaurus
Everything Dinosaur does not recall Schleich making a Kentrosaurus dinosaur model before, we don’t think they have made any stegosaur replica before, except of course the ubiquitous Stegosaurus.
Last but not least, let’s take a look at the Anhanguera replica.
The Schleich Anhanguera (Pterosaur Replica)

This is certainly a much bigger and much more colourful model of an Anhanguera than the one featured for a few years in the “dinosaurs” model range from Schleich. The skull of this flying reptile was almost half the length of its total length. 2015 will mark the 30th anniversary of the naming and describing of this Brazilian pterosaur.

Exciting times ahead for Schleich and Everything Dinosaur.
