New Schleich Models Have Arrived!
The First of the Schleich 2017 Prehistoric Animals are in Stock
The first of the new for 2017 prehistoric animal models by the German manufacturer Schleich have arrived at Everything Dinosaur’s warehouse. Three new Schleich models are available, the Allosaurus with its articulated jaw, the large, green Brachiosaurus figure (amazing textured skin) and the feathered Utahraptor complete with poseable arms and an articulated jaw.

These models are the vanguard for a number of new figures that will be introduced by Schleich, including a couple of models that have yet to be officially announced (expect to hear more news about them in the spring).

The Schleich Utahraptor Dinosaur Model
The trend for producing feathered dinosaur models continues with the addition of the Utahraptor to the Schleich range. This model has moveable forelimbs and an articulated lower jaw. Like the other new models, the Utahraptor comes with a hang tag booklet entitled “Conquering the Earth”. The models are very well painted and the textured skin and feathers on the Utahraptor replica give these dinosaur figures a very tactile quality. Such features are bound to prove popular with very young dinosaur fans, as will the bright blue colouration on the “raptor”.

Look out for those grasping hands!
Late Jurassic Dinosaurs – Allosaurus and Brachiosaurus
The other two models to arrive are the Allosaurus and the Brachiosaurus figures, both dinosaurs that Schleich has produced models of in previous years. The Allosaurus has an articulated jaw and the skin texture of the larger Brachiosaurus replica has been very finely crafted. The neck, back, the long tail, and the upper parts of the limb bones are covered in large, pebble-like scales. This is a very intriguing interpretation of this long-necked, Late Jurassic herbivore.

The carefully crafted skin texture on the dinosaur will prove very helpful to us at Everything Dinosaur. We use several Schleich dinosaur models in our work in schools with children who have special needs.
Feeling the scaly rough skin and comparing how the model feels compared to other objects will help us in our “exploring materials and the wider world” dinosaur themed workshops. These workshops are aimed at children at Foundation Stage or Key Stage 1 and we are often asked to spend a few minutes with a child and their one-to-one support after we have finished our main teaching session. We are looking forward to adding the new Schleich Brachiosaurus to our range of school resources. Its impressive size will also be a “wow” for young dinosaur fans no doubt.
