Review: Das Schleich WILD LIFE Nilpferd ist eine nette Ergänzung für jede Tierfigurensammlung. Die Figur ist robust und überzeugt durch die gewohnt hohe Schleich-Qualität. Die Details, wie die Hautstruktur und die Bemalung, sind realistisch und ansprechend gestaltet, was sie besonders authentisch macht. Die Größe ist handlich und ideal für Kinderhände, aber auch für Sammler. Mein Eindruck ist, dass sie sehr langlebig ist und auch intensives Spielen problemlos aushält. Fazit: Eine solide und gut gemachte Figur, die Spaß macht, aber ohne besondere Highlights.
Review: Very good quality, value for money
