And of course, they are not coming here.  :'(

I agree that a klicky would feel like the short straw to a kid expecting an animal.
For most kids:  small plastic animal > small plastic person

But I'm sure manufacturing and cost considerations also played a role in the decision to exclude klickies.

My first klicky was the Indian from McDonalds. It's nice that after all these years they are making a new promo. I wish it was world wide though.

My first klicky was a sheriff from McDonalds  :cowboy: :sorrow:

Geobra were looking to take over Schleich a little while ago - did that not happen?

There were rumors about that in 2022. According to Schleich-CEO it was a hoax but from an economic perpective it'd have been a total understandable move for geobra with the wiltopia-launch on the horizon.

Keep in mind the animals are not real playmoanimals...

Made in China, Vietnam and the like.  Different positions though, and the colors are also off, so.. different.

Here in Portugal it started yesterday (well, the place near my work, some had them earlier last week).  I hope I survive this. My cholesterol is happy.

And so the Chinese manufacturing gets yet another boost …. Go China !
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

I am surprised they are allowing their advanced moulding technology to be transferred to China.

The animals are really very different.... Colors, size, mold...

They are clearly inferior quality, but... variety.. so... :love:

Ah, and as usual, we are treated like 2nd (or 3rd or more) rate customers: no card here (or Spain, afaik)
