Meh, the whole line up is more or less as I expected... while some of the recent animal figures are decent, I think most have been rendered better by other companies or even Schleich themselves in past years.

Maybe with the exception of the Styracosaurus none of the "dinosaurs" is anything to write home about, the Nothosaurus looks as if its knees are broken?!

The real shame is, that there is no real competition where I live (Germany), basically every toy store just has Schleich and kids (and their parents) just do not know about all the good figures availbale out there.

On a side note.... my son is totally hooked on the overpriced Schleich Eldrador figures (when considering their level of qualitiy in detail, paint etc). Some of these have articulation on jaws (flimsy) and oversized limbs which tend to get out of their joints or break off. It does not need vanish, but I really hope this company will "achieve" the niche existence is deserves.

My sons have some of those, and I already have more put aside to give to them as they get older. I think they're pretty neat to be honest. Always like dragons and other fantasy monsters.

Well, the iguana is unique. I'll call it a maybe.

The loris is hard to judge from the photo but it will be small and relatively cheap.

I will get the nothosaur, even though it also looks...like it's made by Schleich.

Gonna try to get the Pigs, Adult Tapir, Puma, Iguana, Beaver, Parasaurolophus, Nothosaurus, and Styracosaurus

the pigs are pretty nice, but I already have a domestic pig in my collection.

Arctinus

Meh, so much potential, but the execution is poor, sadly. At least in my opinion. I learned last year that I shouldn't expect much from Schleich anymore. I don't think I'll get any of these. Besides, I try to collect one figure per species. I already have the Safari flamingo (even though it's incredibly small). I don't have the tapir yet, but will get the Collecta or some other. The loris had such a potential, but I don't like how they look. Maybe they'll be much better in person, but we'll see. I already have the Papo puma, so I'll pass on this one, even though I have to admit it looks cute. The iguana... I don't know. I think I'll pass and wait for another company to make a more detailed one. And the same goes for the beaver, mandrill and emperor scorpion. :) As for the stork. Their previous one was far superior, but was sadly discontinued. I have the Papo one, which I find better and, like Blaine wrote, you get two for one. :D

I don't. I got Safari's Daeodon Not a pig but shuddup, Schleich Warthog & Boar

Advicot

 ???  Is exactly what I first thought when seeing these! They look so much like Playmobil figures, especially the mandrill, scorpion and flamingo. It's going to be a reasonable year from Schleich for me. I'll only be adding the following to my wishlist:

Flamingo: If I can designate it to a species and how big it is, given Schleich's penguin from this year
Loris: It's the only widely available loris for me, and a new species
Cirollo mare: I do like a new horse breed, even if they're Schleich horses
Malayan tapir calf: I'm in need of a baby Malayan tapir
Stork: Maybe? I already have 3, I'll need to see it in person
Oldenburg horses: I love this breed and we used to have some. The mare is very nice. They'll go well with my Bullyland
Ram: Can't get enough sheep  :)) It's the only figure this year that reminds me of the modern (before CEO change) Schleich style
Greyhound: Looks like an Afghan/ Saluki and will be a new breed for me
Goldendoodle: New breed for me
Green iguana: Hm do I need another, depends on size and quality
Puma: Maybe but I don't know
Belgian mare: Reminds me of a real one we used to own
Don't I take long uploading photos!

I am really disappointed to see a Malaysian Tapir...just because a year ago I spent a little too much money on buying a retired Schleich Malaysian Tapir...only for Schleich to bring it back.

I am excited for the return of the Mandrill...just hope the real figure looks better in person than the photo. The Slow Loris is cool too, but I don't think the figure is very realistic either.
Stork is nice.

What part of 2022 are the new Schleich stuff available?

suspsy

Here's a bunch of images of products due out in the second half of the year. Mostly horses and unicorns, but there are some wild animals as well. No prehistoric creatures. However, two confirmed Eldrador beasts (Shadow Wolf and Manticore) are absent from this video, so there are probably other 2022 products still to be revealed/leaked.

New 'box' sets by Schleich; apparently collections of previously-released standard-sized animals (funny, the rabbit is the one that I just got yesterday LOL).






pachyrhinosaurus

Although I heard about it months ago, I didn't realize the 2022 holiday reindeer was available until I happened to see it today.

Good. I usually have something seasonal to offer but not this year.
