Schleich Wild West

This looks like a fairly new series (new to me anyway). Saw these when i went downtown today. Same quality as their knight figures. Not bad. I picked up the chief, canoe, brave shooting bow on horseback and prospector (my favourite

).

Nice figures. Compatible with XD. No articulation. Hopefully there is a second series with cowboys/cavalry guys shooting guns etc.

I like the loaded down Donkey, he could pass for European, right?

yeah, that's the prospector....my favourite.

Yes i think they used the same mark of donkey in WWII as was used back in the 1800's.

LOL

Your wrong, that's the MK IV Donkey, WWII era Donkeys were MK V's

ah yes, longer ears, right?

Yes, and on the MK V, the tail was a bit shorter

and it had a more rounded rump. I just did some checking on the net. Still, i think it is close enough to use...

That donkey would look good in a WWII dio with some German soldiers or even a modern one with some of the Middle Eastern or Sahara figures

yes Razor, i read it. I was just messing with ya back..

back in my young xd days i made a couple of german mountain troops, in shorts, with a schleich donkey laiden with all their gear. Looks pretty sharp to this day. I got the idea from a Dragon 1/35 figure box art. (i used a mark V donkey)

Shame on me...

Post by **aferguson** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 3:13 pm

yes, shame on you. One demerit point.

Shame the war ended before the Mk VII could be produced in any number.

Today we are using the Mk VIII Donkey, a detuned Mk VI, with 1/2 the brain capacity and smaller hoofs for better fuel economy.
