Schleich Classics

Back to Main Schleich Page

Most Classics are earlier series of smaller animals. However last ones were made at the same time as the more modern ones, and some of the designs can be recognized in both series.

The early ones had a more cartoon-like style to them.

Schleich Classics Medium Large Farm Series

These lovly models were only made from 1992-94.

Schleich Classics Prehistorics

The first Schleich prehistoric models were made in 1979.

They were small, unicolour models, as often seen at that time :

From 1990 to 1994, the same models were made with more, but still subdued colours :

The oldest models (left) had less brilliant colours than the later ones :

The oldest models have the round logo with a "biegefigur", while the newer one have either "Schleich" written on them, or just the circle with an "S" inside :

Schleich Cute Creatures - Die Kleinen

In 1996 a series of 8 models of little wild animals was launched.

They are made from a soft, rubbery material. The paintwork does not stick well to them, and that may be the reason they were only made for 2 years.

They are not shown in the cataloge from 1996 , but in the cataloge from 1997 they are shown as part of a series called "Die Kleinen" ( The little ones):

Apart from these first 8 models, "Die Kleinen" consists of small babies and very cartoonish animal models, which are not listed in this Wikipedia.
