SCHLEICH CELEBRATES 85 YEARS EMPOWERING KIDS’ IMAGINATIONS WITH “POWER OF IMAGINATION” CAMPAIGN, EXPERIENTIAL TOY FAIR EXHIBIT AND SPECIAL EDITION GOLDEN LION FIGURINE
CHARLOTTE, NC (January 30, 2020) — Schleich® USA, (pronounced Sh-like) is celebrating the company’s 85th year empowering kids’ creativity through imaginative play with a bold integrated marketing campaign, limited edition figurine and more. The American arm of the world’s leading manufacturer of animal figurines based in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, Schleich enters its 85th year with global sales that have grown by double digits in each of the last six years.
Known throughout the world for the attention-to-detail, quality and realism of its animal figurines, Schleich is a natural-born leader in facilitating open-ended play. This style of unstructured playtime in which kids aren’t given a specific purpose or goal, has been established by experts as one of the most important activities for helping kids develop and maintain creativity, something Schleich has advocated for throughout its rich history.
To celebrate this great legacy of empowering kids’ imaginations, Schleich is bringing the rich and colorful stories of open-ended playtime to life with its unmistakable animal figurines and playsets through a new marketing campaign for 2020. Built on the insight that it is often challenging for grown-ups to perceive the rich, immersive depths of kids open-ended play experience, the POWER OF IMAGINATION campaign seeks to remind grown-ups just how sensational and fantastic a child’s imagination can be.
“While adults might only see kids moving figurines around a play space, we know that the unparalleled detail and realism of our products inspire kids to imagine a world where dinosaurs help with homework and bears do backflips into outer space,” said Annie Laurie Zomeraand, co-managing director of Schleich USA. “This campaign is all about breaking down the barrier between what parents see and what their kids experience. We hope to inspire grown-ups to do even more to help empower kids’ imaginations by reminding them just how magical those imaginations can be.”
To bring the campaign to life, Schleich is collaborating throughout 2020 with renowned toy photographer, Mitchel Wu, to develop a series of photographs that depict the rich, immersive detail narrated by kids during open-ended playtime with Schleich products. The brand will introduce the initial set of images at an experiential exhibit in the lobby of the 2020 New York International Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Center. Toy Fair attendees and press are invited to an exclusive campaign kickoff breakfast and anniversary celebration at the exhibit on Sunday, February 23 from 7:30 – 9 a.m. The event will feature commentary from child development and open-ended play expert, Dr. Sandra J. Stone, and live photography demonstrations by Mitchel Wu.
Golden Anniversary Lion
A special highlight of Schleich’s 2020 anniversary year will be the release of a limited-edition golden lion figurine. The lion, one of the company’s most popular products, is a symbol of the pride and dignity with which Schleich looks back on the last 85 years. Its golden coloring and glittery mane represent the value of the brand. Six colorful brush strokes, a nod to the way Schleich figurines are lovingly decorated, represent the Farm World, Wild Life, Dinosaurs, Horse Club, bayala®, and Eldrador® Creatures thematic worlds from the Schleich range.while the six colors represent the Farm World, Wild Life, Dinosaurs, Horse Club, bayala®, and Eldrador® Creatures thematic worlds from the Schleich range. The lion will be available in select stores during the August–September promotional period and cost $6.99.
85 Proud Years of Schleich Figurines
For 85 years, Schleich has spread joy to children around the world with its high-quality, realistic figurines. It all began in 1935 when Friedrich Schleich founded the company in the country town of Schwäbisch Gmünd. After early success with a proprietary character Jopo, licenses with Walt DisneyTM and the SmurfsTM, Schleich has been primarily manufacturing its famous animal figurines since the 1980s. Children between the ages of three and twelve, in particular, love the figurines and play sets from six different thematic works: Farm World, Wild Life, Dinosaurs, Horse Club, bayala®, and Eldrador® Creatures.
Head of Marketing, Victoria Sutch, says, “For many children, our products are their best friends and daily companions. In a child’s hands, they are the starting point for extremely creative stories and exciting adventures. It’s all about having fun, and as a side benefit the children also learn a lot about animals and their habitat.” In the meantime Schleich has become one of Germany’s largest toy manufacturers and a leading supplier of toy figurines internationally. The company has over 600 products to choose from and delivers these to more than 60 countries worldwide.

What Would I like to See Different on Season 2 of Netflix’s The Circle
It is no secret that Netflix’s The Circle became a huge hit as the concept of this show has gained interest from fans and even journalists as well. With the season 1 winner winning $100,000 on the final episode, auditions for the second season was avaliable until last week wich means that we can see a new cast of characters on the second season. While the first season was good, I believe that there should be changes on the second season and here are some that I believe would be great changes to The Circle when it comes back for the second season.
DO NOT ADD NEW CONTESTANTS ON THE LAST HALF OF THE SEASON
The original cast of The Circle was exactly fine as it was for the first few episodes. But later during the season, more and more contestants were added especially during the last few episodes. I believe this should have not happened because it would be unfair for the ranking system and we did not have enough time to get invested in the new contestants. Especially when there was one episode where Sean joined The Circle and one episode in, she revealed that the photos that she used were not hers and posted the actual photos of herself. I would have been fine with this if she joined the cast on the first or second episode so that way, it can be a story that could be built on until she reveals who she really is at the later half of the season. All of the contestants of that joined on the second half were not that interesting to be invested on, and it showed as the season was near the end.
NEVER RANK THE SAME CONTESTANT MORE THAN ONCE IN THE SAME RANKING
I realized why Shubham was an influencer four times in a row and that is because he was ranked first by everyone else four times. I know that this did not happen each time, but the ranking system is very unbalanced and we did not see how the votes for the rankings were arranged as we only seen the results. If one person is an influencer more than three times, it is very excessive and there needs to be a way to balance how the contestants should chose their votes.
HAVE ONE CONTESTANT NOT REVEAL HIS/HER IDENITY UNTIL THAT PERSON IS ELIMINATED
This would be an interesting twist as it could really bring out the dark side of social media. Some of the contestants were catfishes as they had pictures that were not really themselves, but what if they had one contestant that does not have a picture at all and stayed in the game from the start until that person is eliminated? I know that is a crazy thought and that everyone would vote that person out, but there would be a way around it. Speaking of eliminations….
GRANT ONE PERSON IMMUNITY FROM BEING ELIMINATED FOR ONE DAY
On reality game shows, there is always a way for one person to be granted immunity for a day or a week. Don’t get me wrong, there was one moment where two people were eliminated on the same night and I thought that was a great twist. And there was also one time where an influencer saved one of the contestants. But there has to be a way for one player to be granted immunity for one voting round at least once.
ADVANTAGES FOR NEWCOMERS
I would personally not have any newcomers on the second half of the season, but If I was producing the show, I would think of a way for the newcomers to have an advantage over the current contestants. Maybe the newcomers would arrive the same day as the current contestants and that they are allowed to see every conversation from the contestants so that way, they would be caught up and are more ready and prepared for when it is actually time for them to enter the conversations that is ongoing in The Circle. Plus, that would also add in drama to the show as well.
A VOTE TO REMOVE A CURRENT INFLUENCER
I thought about this the entire time and I wondered, why is there not an option to remove an influncer? They would not be eliminated from the game at the moment, but there has to be a point where everyone who is not an influncer would try to get that influencer removed from her title by having a vote to see if that influencer stays as an influencer or not depending on the majority of the votes. This would be a long stretch, but I would have totally done that only once during the entire season.
ONE INFLUENCER ONLY
Having two influencers each episode was a good idea, but maybe only one could rise the tension and competitive nature of the game. One influencer would make the final decision of the voting and maybe that one influencer could also vote on who wins the minigames, etc. With only one influencer title given per vote, it will give the other players more of a reason to try to go above and beyond to have that title.
