World of Schleich Schleich products are developed with the assistance of parents, teachers and children and are therefore especially designed for children\'s hands. Friedrich Schleich founded the company in 1935. The now famous Schleich figurines first came to life in the 1950\'s. The design of the Schleich products and the creation of the required tools are done in house, thus enabling us to control the initial vital steps of creating a new product. The production itself takes place at the company`s German headquarters and in a number of production facilities in foreign countries. Scale of Schleich figures and animals are 1:24
