I also have CollectA amd Schleich. I also started with Schleich, but just as you said the realism is going downhill since 2016, so I started to pick my faves from Schleich and also started to look for CollectA. I also collect Traditional Breyers and pick my faves also from them.
Funny that I find this after I get my first Schleich horse. I got the Tinker Mare and love her so much. Both of these collections are neat and I think the best option is: diversify and pick what you like from each brand XD
I am pretty happy with most of the 2021 schleich horses they did this year some I’m not sure about but most of them I like I’m still with schleich because I have SOOO much of it and I can use them and I still love schleich , collectA is good to but I like schleich but this is my opinion
Schleich need to up their game a little. Their older horses are SO much better. It just feels like they're putting less effort into them. I hope they star improving their models because if they dont, over a couple years, everyone will turn to a different brand because of their lack of nice models. The only ones who will buy them then are kids who dont care and just buy them for playing with. I only collect schleich, i have a few papos but from years ago. I would collect other brands too, but schleich is my childhood and i want to hold onto that for a little longer. The 2021 models look so much nicer than this years, so im hoping it just goes uphill from there. Edit: *My opinion* I'd say the trakehner stallion is schleichs best model. The shading is just AH 😍 and the markings..... MMMM just so good. He isnt my favourite but he is just so much better than all the other models. I think they should stop doing common breeds too. And when i say common, i dont mean common as in you see them a lot i mean common as in everyone has heard of it,if you know what i mean.
I agree, the only good 2020 model in my opinion is the Frisian mare. The braided hooves are just such a pretty detail!!! Schleich does need to up their game, and I haven't seen the new 2021 though.
I agree, it's pretty disappointing to see how the quality has gone down in recent years. Something else I'm noticing is they are tending to re-use models more often and just change the coat color or resusing breeds. I just hope they put the effort in like they used to. Haven't bought one in a while, at least for the newer ones.
@@Anastasia2048 Me too, I've been getting the ones from a few years ago online and comparing them, and the quality of even the repaints has really downgraded.
@@Markyweewubus1 Even the plastic feels cheaper. They used to be about high quality and realism. What happened? Not worth the money for how they look and feel right now.
I started with Schleich but I must say my heart goes to collect-a. I like the older Schleich but not the new ones but the collect-as I find to be more realistic.
I love schleich and Breyer collectA is ok I don’t collect it and I prefer schleich a lot more and I also think collectA is not my style some collectA models I hate I prefer schleich (this is my opinion)
Breyer makes most models for collecting to have on a shelf except the one made for playing which you will know what are so it would make sense while they are realistic they can get scratched easily
Oh my gosh. I didn’t even think about putting blankets on all of my schliech when I’m done with them. Thanks so much for including that in the video. I must make more blankets for them then! Do you have a simple, quick blanket tutorial that doesn’t take long and only needs felt/fabric and 1 or 2 other items (scissors don’t really count)
OHHHHHHH YAAAS I JUST GOT THE SCHLEICH SHETLAND AND I LOOOOOVE HER!!! Ps. I named her Peach and her color is a light / peachy pink xD I thought it was very fitting :)
I love schleich but I'm hating their new models so I'm collecting the older ones but I think ima get some collecta but I'm still going to buy schleich horses
i pretty much only buy retired horses,i do buy the accesories/sets by schleich that are not retired. I do have one 2017 and a 2019,but the rest of them are 2003-2010. I'm not a big fan of Breyer and Collect-a.
Hey I was wondering if you could do a video of new vs old schleich models and tell us which one you prefer it's ok if not! Amazing video and definitely starting to prefer collecta compare to schleich models!❤
I have a few Collecta's as well. The only thing that is often not well done on Collecta is that they spray paint or airbrush the mane color on so that often results in some of the main color around the mane on the body or some parts of the mane that aren't painted at all. I have the Fjord foal in grey dun and that one is probably my favorite model horse foal ever. It's so so cute and the color is stunning. That one is about the same size as the Shetland pony from Collecta and fits in nicely with the other Schleich foals. I also have the Fjord stallion but in the grey color and I just love that I now have a fjord that isn't just regular old cream colored. I also have the Ardennes stallion and I absolutely love that model. I live in Belgium so Ardennes horses are quite common around here and the pose he has is exactly the pose those horses do right before they start pulling a cut-down tree in the woods. I have the Camargue too. That one is about as big as the Schleich Hanoverian models so it's taller in scale than Schleich because Camargue horses in real life are between 135cm and 150cm tall while Hanoverians are between 160cm and 175cm. Hope that helps someone out who's deciding on which ones to buy.
I am Scottish and have been around Native ponies for coming on 58 years and I have never seen a spotty Shetland like that before lol! It doesnt look anything like dapples...Typical Breyer ludicrous looking paint job! The Schliech looks more like Shetland colouration but youre definately right that the CollectAs sculpt is more realistic. That CollectA Missouri Foxtrotter has a weird leg...Although its detailing is more realistic, I couldnt live with that leg so would choose the Morgan hands down!
I definitely prefer the CollectA models.I am definitely a stickler for Correct over Cute(not that I am indifferent to cuteness,mind you!).I've looked at Schleich over the years-they're always present in the toy aisle-and only bought one,the Friesian stallion,because I felt they made the lighter horses,like Arabians,Tennessee Walkers etc look thick and coarse.I saw a picture of the CollectA Arabian mare online and thought she was worth taking a chance on,and I was not disappointed.She's beautiful,refined and very detailed.I have a few more CollectA horses but my main focus has been and still is,Breyer;but I'm seeing other CollectA horses I like so I'm sure I will own others in future. Now,if you were talking dinosaurs...I think Schleich does a good job on their dinosaurs!
It entirely depends what you want it for. If you want a barn for looks i think collecta is the best. If you want to play with them, use schleich. They scratch slightly less then collecta
I went to your shop, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR ITEMS!!❤️❤️❤️ The only thing is I need to wait until I either get a gift card, or save money to get one of these items. They are just a little out of my budget, but these items are SO worth it! The only expensive thing are the customs, but these customs are SO worth how much you’re selling them.❤️❤️❤️Stay positive and keep being creative!❤️
I LOVE CollectA models I’m a sucker for details and realism so yeah after schleich went downhill I said goodbye and switched to CollectA. This video is very helpful.
Yea I have noticed with owning Schleich that their horses have something about their heads and faces which bug me? I collect used and damaged horse models to repaint and customise and something about Schleich horses just bug me out. I have considered switching to collecta because I can always afford second hand breyers and yea I don’t really like Schleich horses.
In my opinion in recent years Schleich has really gone down hill quality wise. I find the Horses to feel cheap and look less realistic and too cartoony for my liking.
Well, collectA is a LOOOT more realistic. While other model horse brands are going for more realism, Schleich is just turning to cartoony for these last couple of years. But I have both. What I found is that CollectA's break more easily. Idk if it's just the way I package them (bubble wrap and a cotton pouch thingy when I buy them from the store and when I am going somewhere) or if it's a fact that CollectA's break easily. Idk...
umm i recomend collecta its biger cheper more detail i am colecting collecta there amazing rlly good cuality totally recomend collecta and schleich is kinda strange the hooves are soooo big for that small horses the colors are meh but if you buy something from schleich i recomend the riders and saddles have a nice day/nigth ;)
I love collecta buttt I bought a collecta and it was the size of a big foal saddd but it looked like my horse, I kept it 😂💖🙄 I bought the Dartmoor mare- edit
I also have CollectA amd Schleich. I also started with Schleich, but just as you said the realism is going downhill since 2016, so I started to pick my faves from Schleich and also started to look for CollectA. I also collect Traditional Breyers and pick my faves also from them.
YASS girl Traditional Breyers are the best
I collect schleich and Breyer , collectA is ok but I don’t collect it I like schleich and Breyer the best
@@Only.angel.girlie schleich kinda sucks tbh, it's not thaaat realistic and more of a child's play than a collection horse
Breyer is nice but it’s just really expensive…
Breyer is personally to expensive
I am obsessed with the collecta Missouri Fox trotter mare! I have like three and I have done one repaint! I turned her into my horse, Swilly!
Their foxtrotter mould is gorgeous
I couldn't find the foxtrotter on amazon :(
My horse is a foxtrotter and I wanted to buy it and re paint to look like him but I couldn't find it sadly
Funny that I find this after I get my first Schleich horse. I got the Tinker Mare and love her so much. Both of these collections are neat and I think the best option is: diversify and pick what you like from each brand XD
I agree 100%
I feel as though schleich is losing there quality! I have a bunch of the older ones and I love them but I don’t prefer the newer ones.
Yea!! The 2021 horses look A LOT better than this year's. Hopefully they have more detail and are just better in general.
Same
I am pretty happy with most of the 2021 schleich horses they did this year some I’m not sure about but most of them I like I’m still with schleich because I have SOOO much of it and I can use them and I still love schleich , collectA is good to but I like schleich but this is my opinion

I prefer schleich collecta is easier break also collecta I find have more scratches and get them easier I like both but schleich better
Yes I have a collecta and that is the newest horse I’ve got but it’s gotten so many scratches and looks like my oldest horse even tho it’s my newest!
I love schleich and Breyer collectA is ok I don’t collect it and I prefer schleich a lot more and I also think collectA is not my style some collectA models I hate I prefer schleich (this is my opinion)

I prefer Schleich more then CollectA, Schleich is definitely a lot cuter than CollectA. I really prefer the cuter ones than too realistic.
Schliech got popular because of the too realistic look, now it's less popular due to the cartoony look
OHHHHHHH YAAAS I JUST GOT THE SCHLEICH SHETLAND AND I LOOOOOVE HER!!!
Ps. I named her Peach and her color is a light / peachy pink xD I thought it was very fitting :)
Oh cute I have the one in the video and I named her poppy!
Yes! I have both and when you said about the sizes I ordered the shetty (collecta) and it was WAYYY smaller that I thought
I love schleich but I'm hating their new models so I'm collecting the older ones but I think ima get some collecta but I'm still going to buy schleich horses
This really helped me out in deciding! Thank you! 💕 Have a good day.
Collecta is a very detailed brand of horses I mean schleich is to but 2020’s new schleich horses are not quite that detailed :/
@XxSapphire_DreamxX I love schleich to but it’s 2020 models are just less detailed.
I think the newer Frisian mare is super detailed, with the braided hooves. If she isn't 2020, please let me know, but I think she is.
@Cailie's Creations!!! She much detailed then the others but her eyes give it away :\
@@lxnleyabby5098 Yeah, in my opinion, the only good 2020 model.
could you do a tutorial on how to make a saddle?
i pretty much only buy retired horses,i do buy the accesories/sets by schleich that are not retired. I do have one 2017 and a 2019,but the rest of them are 2003-2010. I'm not a big fan of Breyer and Collect-a.
i like schleich paint job and the texture:)

Where can u buy collectA from stores not online?
I’m not sure. I have only seen them once in a toy store 😬
Sugar Rose Studios the Breyer store is where you can get them 💜🐴
I'm gonna look at stocklys cuss they have breyers they may have collectas

You should repaint a collecta horse!!
Are you a RUclipsr and you make videos with schiech cases if you are what's your channels name

Now,if you were talking dinosaurs...I think Schleich does a good job on their dinosaurs!
In my opinion Papo is the best when it comes to the dinosaur figures. When you compare them to Schleich, Papo blows them out of the water.
@Sophia Schommer ps and breyer are by far my favorite. I just got a few new ones, (ps) one being an ooak
Omg I have the retired dartmoor stallion too! I've had him for over 7 years and his name is Boomerang btw!
Where do you buy collecta in stores? Like what stores carry it?
I have a question, are they hollow, or are they full like the Schleich horses?
Full! 🙂
@@SugarRoseStudios thx!!
Do one with papo and schleich
I have Schleich but no collecta, where can I find them?
I explained in the video 😘
Sugar Rose Studios thanks!
Hey rose so i suggest if u want to buy collecta models check out happy hen toys where they sell a lot of them
Is it In store?
@@tahliac4837 no its a online shoping website
@@awestudios9482 oh ok some one was looking for an in person place. Thank you ☺️
@@tahliac4837 oh no problem but im not sure if they are sold in stores
In a stockly I saw breuers they may do collectas

Yes this comment is late but this video helped me a lot.I saved it to watch later

I am going to have to check the CollectA's out. Great review.
Both the first models are lovely..

Thank you! 💞🥰
I have all those horses that you had
in this video and I don't now which

I have that collecta mare, yet she doesn't stand very well😅
I LOVE CollectA models I’m a sucker for details and realism so yeah after schleich went downhill I said goodbye and switched to CollectA. This video is very helpful.
I have 100+ shilichs
And I love them
Guess I’ll be getting some collectA soon🥰
Collecta all the way... but! I just ordered some WIA models and I think they will blow me away when they get here!!
Be nice to schleich they work hard to get schleich to everyone!but still love you😌

I think schliech maybe xxx
I like collecta so I have 3 collecta but
Still prefer retired/old schleich
I like both to be honest
I have collecta and schleich
Both
Well, I own both.
In my opinion in recent years Schleich has really gone down hill quality wise. I find the Horses to feel cheap and look less realistic and too cartoony for my liking.
Same! The schleich team could've done far better.
In my opinion I like schleich better but that’s my opinion
I really found ONE schleich Horse wich has chestnuts on it...the old Quarter Hors Stallion has it ! :D
I need more fjords in my herd
I like 👍 schiech
Oooh I'm gonna ask for 1
Hi I love your videos
i love schleich
Anyone else agree new schleich is not as realistic as old schleich
Grew up collecting schleich horses, they were brilliant, but nowadays, the quality is shameful, it’s very sad. Their magic has gone
Yup 🤧
😭😭😭some of those models were really good!
Thank You very much young lady
CollectA all the way
Schleich Vs CollectA !!!!!
The Breyer community: 😏😏
And I have schleich
I started with schleich but now i collect collecta because its wayy more realistic
Ok my fav horse in schleich is the shire stallion and i personly think its better than the collecta not being rude but his face is sooooo cute
I say schleich bc I have no idea what collecta is 😅
I hope this video clears that up? 😂😁
Sugar Rose Studios it did ty!
and colleta
