I'm interested in seeing an okapi from Papo. None of the currently available okapi figures strike my fancy, and I think some of Papo's previous ungulates (their kudu and oryx especially) are lovely figures.

[bmathison1972]

depending on how the species play out, I can see myself getting 11 of these!

[Gwangi]

Eager to see the leopard shark, assuming it's Triakis semifasciata and not a zebra shark. A lot of potentially exciting figures listed there.

these are likely for me:

Spoonbill [if Eurasian spoonbill]
Hummingbird [species dependent]
Stag beetle
African sea eagle
Forest snail [species dependent]
Magpie
Tit
clouded yellow butterfly
shrimp
hermit crab
Charolais cow

[JimoAi]

Is this confirmed?

[EpicRaptorMan]

Depending on size...shrimp, Hummingbird, African Sea Eagle, & Spoonbill.

Maybe Leopard Shark. All in all nothing really is breathtaking for me...I guess I'll buy them.

Please be the leopard shark. Also, didn't Papo retire their leatherback turtle? I have the original still on the ATB review waiting list and a giant squid??? Please Papo don't mess up the marine reptiles this time

[Arctinus]

That's a nice list for me. I was hoping they'd make other birds, like the tit. Assuming it's either the great or the blue tit.  I like other wild animals (wildlife and sealife) as well, even though I already have some of the species, so will have to wait and see what they'll look like.

Yeah, they retired their leatherback last year, I believe, since I managed to get one of the last ones that were available on eBay before their prices skyrocketed.

[bmathison1972]

Is this confirmed?

@JimoAi - these are from the German online shop Spielzeug Günstig. They are always the first to have this information, and they are always correct (I think they even have catalogue numbers).

I wouldn't get too excited yet though, it's November 2021 and we still haven't seen all their 2021 releases yet (including three arthropods I am eagerly awaiting). Production delays could derail any of these.

[GojiraGuy1954]

false alarm lmao

[BlueKrono]

The two non-dinosaur dinosaurs are a must for me. Probably the snail too. I'm happy with the Safari leopard shark, so this one would have to be very dynamic to interest me.

[GojiraGuy1954]

I'd get all of dinos bar Styrac

[callmejoe3]

Seams pretty interesting so far.

[bmathison1972]

hey everyone, I have uploaded the sealife and wildlife released so far; will work on dinos and farm life next

[bmathison1972]

OK, everything should be up except the Kronosaurus and giant squid, which haven't been revealed yet

[bmathison1972]

These are my tentative planned purchases:

1. spoonbill - appears to be the Eurasian spoonbill, a new species for me
2. hummingbird - will get it if we can reliably assign a species-level ID to it
3. stag beetle - of course, it's an insect (but at this angle the mandibles look off; could just be the angle)
4. African sea eagle
5. snail - thoughts on a species? must be something native to Europe
6. titmouse - looks like the great tit, Parus major. Not sure yet. I have the Furuta version, but I might prefer this one. I'll have to think about it.
7. clouded yellow butterfly
8. magpie - looks like the Eurasian magpie!
9. shrimp - a given that it is an arthropod, but I need to try and figure out a species of possible
10. hermit crab - same, will get it but need to try and figure out a possible species
11. Charolais cow - this is a maybe
12. wolf - only if we are confident it is a red wolf

big maybe:
1. one of the Spanish bulls. Even though I like cattle breeds, I am not a fan of Spanish bulls, mainly because I don't like why they are bred.

[Arctinus]

Ooh, thanks, @bmathison1972 !

The ones I'll definitely get are:

spoonbill
hummingbird
African sea eagle
magpie
(great?) tit
clouded yellow butterfly
shrimp
hermit crab
leopard shark
common dolphin

The ones I might get are:

beaver (does it seem right to you because it seems a bit off to me, but I'm not sure)
African buffalo (but might consider other brands)
stag beetle (I don't know, I have the Collecta one, so I'll see)
forest snail (I have the Bullyland snail, so I might get this one, since it seems to be the same mould as Papo's previous one, but recoloured)
wild piglet
mosasaurus (but I don't know how accurate it is?)

Others are either reissues, which I already have, or part of farm animals or prehistoric, which I'm not interested in.

Also, the tit looks like the great tit to me as well, but I wish it were more bluish. :/

[Dusty Wren]

Okay, I don't normally collect birds, but the spoonbill and magpie are so charming that I might have to reconsider that stance.

I'll have to think about the okapi, since it's not grabbing my attention. I do, however, like the look of both the Spanish bulls.

[Gwangi]

Oh wow, all of the birds look spectacular. I want all of them but the spoonbill will take priority.

I really like that wolf, I didn't think I would care about a wolf toy but that one is quite nice, and I don't have a wolf yet anyway. I might get that one.

The shrimp, hermit crab, and forest snail are all neat, I'll probably get those.

As happy as I am to see a leopard shark it doesn't look significantly different from, or better than, the Safari one that I already have. Probably won't get it but I'll need to see in-hand pictures of it before I make an ultimate decision.

Not interested in any of the farm life, the Mosasaurus is decent but underwhelming, the Protoceratops is abysmal.
