Dinosaurs, unicorns and monsters: these are the new Schleich figures for 2024
In the first half of 2024, toy manufacturer Schleich is presenting a whole host of new figures - here's a selection.
46 new toy figures have been launched by Schleich on 1 January 2024, including various horses, unicorns, dinosaurs, an armadillo and a bobtail dog.
I have linked almost all of the Schleich novelties in this text. However, some of them are not yet available, as not all figures are available immediately, and some will only be on sale later.
Let's start with the coolest toy figures: The dinosaurs. The new species are Stegosaurus, Concavenator, Bajadasaurus, Allosaurus and a Brachiosaurus. That sounds very exotic - and sometimes it is: according to researchers, Bajadasaurus, for example, weighed 4,000 kilograms and was characterised by distinctive spines on its cervical spine.
Horse Club
A whole host of horse breeds have been added to the Horse Club series: These include an Arabian family (stallion, mare, foal), a Friesian stallion and a Fjord gelding.
Horse Club Sofia's Beauties
The "Horse Club Sofia's Beauties" series is also growing. The horses are characterised by the fact that children can change and style the mane and tail.
Armadillo and other exotics
My personal favourite is the armadillo. It's about time Schleich had one. I've never heard of a child expressing a desire to have an armadillo to play with, but this animal is so unusual that it's sure to find a few fans. Other new additions to the Wildlife range include the American black bear, a female bonobo and a species of parrot called the hyacinth macaw.
The farm grows by...
... cute Schleich animals such as a rough-haired dachshund, Angora goat, British shorthair cat and a Galloway calf.
Bayala
Bayala is the umbrella term for unicorns, elves, mermaids and other mythical creatures from Schleich. The Bayala range is growing to include a golden unicorn stallion, a white and blue unicorn mare with lots of glitter and a winged foal.
Eldrador
The Eldrador figures are probably the counterpart to Bayala: they include dangerous monsters and creatures. Jungle dragon, shadow bat and ice dragon are new.
Farm World
A tractor with trailer expands the Farm Word playsets. More will be added on 1 March, including "Feeding the forest animals" and "Forest farmer with vehicle".
