New creatures, new playsets, and even more power: exciting highlights from schleich® ELDRADOR®
Gladiators, Shadow Lemur, and Rock Dragon – with the new products from schleich® ELDRADOR®, action is guaranteed in 2026. Seven sinister creatures, three character playsets, two BattleCaves, and three gigantic playsets with ingenious features will delight fans of the popular product line. The excitement is mounting, and as every year, the question arises: who will win the battle for the super crystal?
Jet black, purple spikes on its back, and red eyes – that's the Shadow Lemur. Its long fingers help this cunning inhabitant of the shadow world to climb, and it always keeps a close eye on its enemies. The ice world also has a dangerous new attacker in the form of the Ice Lynx. It has sharp fangs, powerful paws, and a menacing crest of ice crystals on its back. The Stone Toad is also not to be underestimated. It may not be as big as the other creatures in ELDRADOR®, but it is twice as vicious. Its shimmering green eyes spot every prey immediately, and then it suddenly shoots out its long sticky tongue.
New BattleCaves for the Shadow and Ice World
Action fans can look forward to two new BattleCaves in May, both offering cool features. The BattleCave Shadow Spider includes a fist weapon that the Shadow Spider uses to beat any attacker into retreat. Anyone who manages to get into the cave is trapped, because the barred door rattles shut in a matter of seconds. The Ice Lion in the BattleCave Ice Lion has huge jaws with sharp teeth and ensures that the super crystal is safe. If an enemy gets too close, the cave's icy spinning top can be fired at the intruder.
Crawling, flying, or creeping – new spooky characters
In July, four new feared characters will be joining ELDRADOR®. The Ice Crab has a spiky shell and sharp, giant claws that pinch its opponents. Will it manage to catch the Lava Worm? Its flexible limbs make it particularly agile, and the spikes and thorns on its back and head scare off anyone who gets in its way. The Rock Dragon attacks from the air. Its lizard skin looks like rugged boulders, poisonous green spikes cover its back, and it has large green transparent wings. The Shadow Lizard is at home in the darkness. It has a silver-gray body with purple accents and wears a violet, shimmering, transparent crest on its back.
Powerful play sets with strong features
In the battle for the super crystal, everything depends on having the right equipment. The lava world is gearing up for battle in July with the Lava Fortress. The modular fortress has a stone catapult, a crossbow, a wall press, and a gripper arm. Projectiles can be fired at attackers via the roller track. And as if that weren't deterrent enough, the lava tarantula is just waiting to encase its opponents in its web. The modular Jungle Stronghold playset enriches the jungle world. A stone catapult, tongs, a giant gripper arm, and the scary jungle sabre-toothed tiger ensure that no one gets near the super crystal. In the Ice Frostwatch, the ice waran holds the fort. Ball trap, circular saw weapon, shooting function, trap staircase, and grate – the diverse functions ensure plenty of action. Thanks to its modular design, the Ice Frostwatch can be reassembled again and again: Welcome to the dangerous labyrinth! The Lava Fortress and Ice Frostwatch each include four mini creatures, while the Jungle Stronghold includes two.
Battle of the Gladiators – new heroes conquer ELDRADOR®
An exciting new game concept awaits ELDRADOR® fans in September. Three terrifying figurines are coming onto the market as a playset, complete with exciting features and protective equipment. The figurines' armor can also be removed. The Gladiator Shadow Bull is the new secret weapon of the shadow world. He carries powerful cannons on his back and a steel mask protects his face. He uses his bright purple horns in battle against his opponents. The Gladiator Ice Wolf looks fearsome with his powerful ice wings, which are equipped with dangerous arrows that he can fire silently and at lightning speed. He is protected by a massive helmet that reveals only his icy, sparkling eyes. It's also best to avoid the Gladiator Lava Beast. She has pointed horns and wears a massive helmet. The firearm on her back fires glowing discs. Who will win this battle?
In ELDRADOR®, children aged four and up can dive into exciting worlds. With wild creatures and action-packed playsets, every game becomes an epic adventure.
