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 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!

This really helped me out in deciding! Thank you! 💕 Have a good day.

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 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.

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.

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 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 prefer schleich collecta is easier break also collecta I find have more scratches and get them easier I like both but schleich better

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)

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 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 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!❤️

could you do a tutorial on how to make a saddle?

Yes! I have both and when you said about the sizes I ordered the shetty (collecta) and it was WAYYY smaller that I thought

Omg I have the retired dartmoor stallion too! I've had him for over 7 years and his name is Boomerang btw!

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!

I have all those horses that you had in this video and I don't now which one is my favorite

hi can u make a icelintc collecta repant and the color is pant

Sugar rose do you Like the collecta barn?

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!

Where do you buy collecta in stores? Like what stores carry it?

Guess I’ll be getting some collectA soon🥰

Do one with papo and schleich

Both the first models are lovely..

I have a question, are they hollow, or are they full like the Schleich horses?

You should repaint a collecta horse!!

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

Hi I love your videos

Wow!

Collecta all the way... but! I just ordered some WIA models and I think they will blow me away when they get here!!

Where can u buy collectA from stores not online?

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 really found ONE schleich Horse wich has chestnuts on it...the old Quarter Hors Stallion has it ! :D

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.

Be nice to schleich they work hard to get schleich to everyone!but still love you😌

I have Schleich but no collecta, where can I find them?

In my opinion I like schleich better but that’s my opinion

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

Hey rose so i suggest if u want to buy collecta models check out happy hen toys where they sell a lot of them

Oooh I'm gonna ask for 1

Thank You very much young lady

I like both to be honest

I like collecta so I have 3 collecta but Still prefer retired/old schleich

Collecta is a very detailed brand of horses I mean schleich is to but 2020’s new schleich horses are not quite that detailed :/

😭😭😭some of those models were really good!

Both Well, I own both.

I love you videos

I have collecta and schleich

❤️

I have 100+ shilichs And I love them

I am going to have to check the CollectA's out. Great review.

I love schleich

I think schliech maybe xxx

i love schleich

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

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 like 👍 schiech

I need more fjords in my herd

Grew up collecting schleich horses, they were brilliant, but nowadays, the quality is shameful, it’s very sad. Their magic has gone

And I have schleich

and colleta

I prefer Schleich more then CollectA, Schleich is definitely a lot cuter than CollectA. I really prefer the cuter ones than too realistic.

I started with schleich but now i collect collecta because its wayy more realistic

I like schleich better because I think collectA are doing it a bit wayyyyy over with the realisim😶

I say schleich bc I have no idea what collecta is 😅

Schleich

Anyone else agree new schleich is not as realistic as old schleich

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 ;)

Am I early?

I wish schleich was the same they need to be more realistic again

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.

CollectA all the way

Yeah, the collecta paint mare blows the schleich one outta the water

I have more collector sense like

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.

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...

Omg collector is bertter then I thought

Good comparisons

Is it just me or do they look the same on the cover 😂

i think schleich is way better

Schleich Vs CollectA !!!!! The Breyer community: 😏😏

i dont like to mutch detal because it takes the fun away

The newer schleich look more cute or weird and not realistic

Schleich horses

trakhenner schleich is way better!!! it's my favorite model!!!

1:47 that ain’t ur hand gurlll

I love collecta there just a bit more realistic★★★!!!!

schleich is way better

i dont like colecta schleich is the best
