Thrills and adrenaline await: new highlights for schleich® ELDRADOR® CREATURES
Spine-chilling creatures, action-laden battles, unique functions: the ELDRADOR® CREATURES segment is all about conquering the Super Crystal. Fans of the popular product line should get excited about 2025, as a big dose of action is about to hit their playrooms. Ten formidable creatures, one set, four new BattleCaves and, to top it all, the MasterCave Smashrador will be joining the world of ELDRADOR®. Collectors will be able to get their hands on the new Jet Vehicles and the ELDRADOR® Mini Creature Series 6 from May.
Two primeval giants will lock horns in January: the Stone Triceratops with his three enormous crystal horns and the Frost Mammoth with his colossal, moving tusks. The two mighty creatures are more than ready for exciting adventures in ELDRADOR®. Just like the Shadow Worm, which will also be available from January. He cunningly burrows away underground, remaining undetected until his vicious attack. His rotating joints consist of multiple parts, so he can be extended or shortened.
Sinister new characters from all worlds
Fire versus Jungle – July will see a clash of the titans when the Fire Saurian takes on the Jungle Lizard. At the same time, the Ice Rodent and Jungle Chimpanzee will join the struggle for the Super Crystal. In September, the Stone Snapper, Lava Snail and Jungle Boar will hit the shelves. Things get even more exciting when the Jungle Raptor uses his moving wings to attack from above, while the Stone Worm guards the ground. Just like the Shadow Worm, it is completely mobile and can be shortened or lengthened at will. The new Eldrador® characters will bring a whole lot of action to the playroom.
Expansion of the successful BattleCaves
The popular BattleCaves concept will be expanded this year. The Caves all have interchangeable walls and unique functions and are compatible with each other and the BattleCave Arena. Each Cave contains a World Crystal and an exclusive character to defend it. The Snow Slasher’s BattleCave comes with an ice floe that shoots arrows and a swivelling, extendable gripper to snatch enemies. The Stone Smasher’s BattleCave features two mesh flaps, which can be used as trap doors or jail gates for intruders. You can also crush your enemies with the rotating rock crusher. The two Caves will be added to the range in March. July will see the launch of the Lava Bear’s BattleCave, which boasts a swivelling crossbow that shoots bolts, and the Shadow Tiger’s BattleCave, whose owner drives his opponents away with a rotating circular saw.
A new Eldrador® centrepiece: the MasterCave Smashrador
Eldrador® fans will want to count down the days until September, when the MasterCave Smashrador combines characters, Mini Creatures, BattleCaves and the various worlds in a single toy. This completely modular set can morph into endless shapes thanks to its interchangeable elements. It combines with all BattleCaves and wall elements, offering countless ways to play.
This enormous set comes with impressive functions: folding stairs, trap doors, hideaways, grippers and a cave with World Crystals beckoning to be opened. On the front sits a dragon with rotating joints, shooting arrows from his mouth. On the back, a menacing face whose mouth opens and also shoots missiles. The set further contains the attacking Fire Lion and four Minis to defend the World Crystals. With its many functions and modular design, Smashrador brings even more hair-raising action to the world of ELDRADOR® CREATURES.
High-speed collectibles
In May, the Mini Creatures go mobile: we proudly present the Lava, Ice, Stone, Jungle and Shadow Jet Vehicles with Mini Creature. Thanks to a pull-back motor launch, the Mini Creatures can race through the playroom and the worlds of Eldrador® at a breakneck speed. Don’t get in their way – they have an arrow launcher on the roof! If and when they do collide, they fall apart and have to be reassembled. The Jet Vehicles are exhilaratingly fun to play with and perfect for collecting – just like the ELDRADOR® Mini Creature Series 6, also launching in May.
Children aged four and above will be thrilled with the new ELDRADOR® CREATURES toys. In their imaginative action play, they can bring the Eldrador® creatures to life.
