Big Christmas Surprise at Lakeside Farm
Excited whispers, eager glances, and anticipation: Christmas Eve calls for patience. When the bell finally rings, the colorful packages are opened in a flash. The Lakeside Villa & Paddock is the absolute highlight for HORSE CLUB fans. The heart of the riding stable features a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, and a spacious attic. Plus, the many features – like the elevator, slide, and swing – ensure plenty of fun. Right next to the villa is a shelter with a paddock, where the Arabian stallion and the Lipizzaner mare are already waiting for their ride. What could be better than a tour around the Christmas tree!
Action-packed Christmas gifts from the Lava, Jungle, and Ice World
These three ELDRADOR® playsets are sure to add plenty of excitement to the holiday season: The Lava Fortress is a modular fortress featuring a stone catapult, a crossbow, a wall press, and a gripping arm. The Lava Tarantula can fire ball projectiles at attackers via a roller track, keeping anyone from getting near its territory. On the other side of the Christmas tree, the modular Jungle Stronghold playset is unwrapped and impresses with its wide range of features. A stone catapult, tongs, a giant gripper arm, and the scary jungle saber-toothed tiger ensure that no one gets near the world crystal. The ice world is also gearing up: In the Ice Frostwatch, the ice waran holds the fort. With a ball trap, circular saw weapon, shooting function, trap staircase, and grate, he overpowers his enemies in no time. The Ice Frostwatch is available exclusively at Smyths Toys.
New scary creatures: The ELDRADOR® Gladiators
Lots of fun, special features, and action for the holidays – that’s what the new, fearsome gladiators from ELDRADOR® promise, available starting in September. Each figurine comes with protective armor that can be removed. The Gladiator Shadow Bull gladiator stands out with his bright purple horns and the powerful cannon barrels on his back. A steel mask protects his face from attacks. His opponent, the Gladiator Ice Wolf, is ready to strike. Dangerous arrows are attached to his powerful ice wings, which he can fire silently and at lightning speed. He is protected by a massive helmet that reveals only his icy, sparkling eyes. But the two of them didn’t reckon with the Gladiator Lava Beast. She scares her enemies away with her sharp horns and her firearm loaded with glowing discs. Who will win this battle?
Elegant surprise for horse lovers: Legacy of Horses
The new “Legacy of Horses” series is a special treat for adult design and horse enthusiasts. These premium 1:12 scale collectible horses are exclusive display pieces and a real eye-catcher in any display case. Whether Trakehner mare, Arabian mare, or Tinker gelding– each figurine strikes a dynamic pose and impresses with its meticulous modeling of musculature and coat, as well as its lovingly detailed painting. Under the Christmas tree, the elegant black packaging with a display window underscores the exclusivity of the figurines.
For fans of action-packed adventures, magical moments with horses, or collectible figurines, schleich® has the perfect Christmas gift ideas.
