Title: Having a 'whale' of a time!!! (A little brag.)
Post by: SkyDreamer on February 15, 2012, 11:35:49 AM: My man is away on business....
I've been ill... :sick:

So he bought me a whale I've been wanting for months. Apparently it was discontinued. We had to hunt all over the place for it. It arrived today.

Bad pic (I only have my phone.):

Grey whales are my particular favourites.

Anyone else like Schleich animals?

Post by: Brightglowpony on February 15, 2012, 12:37:15 PM: Congrats- I've never seen the whale before! I like how realistic Schleich animals are- if I had more money I would totally collect them! Love the horses and unicorns they make.

Do you collect them all or just the whales?

Post by: ponybabe on February 15, 2012, 02:29:57 PM: Congrats on the new whale :cheer:
I love the Schleich animals, have some of the horses and mythical animals (pegasus, dragons ect) but also have some whales :accomplished: I also have that Grey Whale, the Humpback Whale and my favorite the Sperm Whale (also have the calves for all three :) ).

I just get the ones I like. I love the detail on them. My birthday gift from the man last year was the big Brachiosaurus. I want the Apatosaurus. I like my dinos biiiiiig. My man has the Spinosaurus. That's pretty big as well!

I wish they'd make a blue whale!!!

Very nice! Just how large is he?

He's about twenty-seven centimetres long. Scale is 1:32. Quite big, and no stand. I shall have to be creative to display him!

Post by: tuneful87 on February 15, 2012, 03:27:08 PM: How about hanging him from the bathroom ceiling? (Kidding, just kidding!) But I can totally envision someone displaying their whale collection like that. My bathroom ceiling is like nine feet tall, so there'd be the room to do it, too!

Post by: SkyDreamer on February 15, 2012, 03:33:35 PM: Tuney, you haven't seen my bathroom. I'll just say "Needs decorating. Urgently." I could never do that to my poor whale. Besides, water would drip off his nose onto me while I was brushing my teeth.......

Post by: Kiwi on February 15, 2012, 06:06:48 PM: I love looking at them - but that's all I do, is look. Too pricey for my liking, and 1 collection is enough.

Post by: xkelpiex on February 15, 2012, 08:33:49 PM: He's BEAUTIFUL. I love the detail, totes looks real. My sister kind of wants to collect Schleich animals, but she has no income as of yet, so she's put it off. I think I might buy her some for her next birthday.
