Schleich is a company based in Germany that specializes in the highest quality hand painted models. Created from a tough flexible plastic, this product line is durable enough for vigorous child play. The horses will survive a gallop up the driveway with their legs intact, and the wild animals can fight, roam through the backyard, and emerge unscathed from bath time. The meticulous level of detail pleases adult collectors.
A bit of acrylic paint can customize any of the product line to suit your personal taste or match a coat of arms.
