The new Schleich Woolly Mammoth figure has arrived at Everything Dinosaur. Team members have been busy checking and booking in the latest prehistoric animal model from Schleich.

They are firm favourites among model collectors.

The new Schleich model depicts this iconic proboscidean with its characteristic curved tusks and thick, shaggy coat. This is not the first Woolly Mammoth model made by Schleich.  When Everything Dinosaur first started more than twenty years ago, Schleich sold two Woolly Mammoth models.  They were the adult figure and a model of a baby Woolly Mammoth.  These days, the two figures are rare, and high prices are paid for models in collecting forums that are in good condition.

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“We are delighted to welcome the new Schleich Woolly Mammoth figure into our warehouse. Woolly Mammoths are instantly recognisable prehistoric animals and remain extremely popular with collectors and fans. It is great to see Ice Age animals added to the Schleich model range.”

New Packaging Introduced

The arrival of this model has also highlighted changes in packaging presentation. The new Schleich Woolly Mammoth figure is supplied with updated protective packaging. The model is wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside an outer plastic bag. The packaging includes labelling and recycling information to help meet new European packaging requirements, including preparations linked to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).  We don’t recall Schleich models being supplied wrapped in bubble wrap previously.

The PPWR aims to improve packaging sustainability, support recycling and provide clearer information about packaging materials.  The Everything Dinosaur Evolution product packaging leads the way in terms of PPWR compliance.

We continue to monitor changes in packaging regulations and work closely with our stakeholders to ensure our model range continues to be compliant.

The Woolly Mammoth remains one of the best-known prehistoric creatures. Fossils, frozen remains and ancient cave art have provided scientists with remarkable insights into these magnificent prehistoric elephants.

The arrival of the Schleich Woolly Mammoth figure provides collectors with another opportunity to add a representation of this remarkable Ice Age giant to their prehistoric animal collections.
