Your wishes for Collecta 2022

A new Paraceratherium deluxe will be nice. Now scientists developed a bigger one with 7 meters height.

I want:

Maned lioness (rare, but existing)

Very much agree with a Paraceratherium remake, it would be nice to have one with the correct toe number for once and more affordable than the ITOY one, not to mention who knows when and if Everything Dinosaur adds that one to their store, unless they did and I just missed the time it happened.
Intersex lions also seem interesting as a choice, they made a king cheetah so why not, and they have some of the best lion sculpts currently available.
After some thinking I'd say that they should definitely also consider making a takin, I am sure many customers would be interested in that.

CollectA seems to like basing their tubes off of their larger figures, as they now have three sets of miniaturized dinosaurs. I’d like to see a second prehistoric sea life tube with all the other marine reptiles and animals that have yet to be sold in smaller form.

I would love to see:

Philippine Eagle
Martial Eagle
Bharal
Mourning Dove
Chamois
Fishing Cat
Argentine Black and White Tegu

FEMALE Peafowl(hen):

Okay, just saying, no figure company, realistically speaking, can make products that are on everyone's wishlists and/or searchlists. So, even though there's a lot of species we're hoping for, the process of creating new products does take some time. I think we all, as collectors, need to take this into consideration when creating these wishlists. I mean, it's a great idea, but, well, you know, it's how should I put it? Like counting your chickens _before they're hatched. You know, that sort of thingy. Anyway, don't get me wrong, I _do like these wishlists, but I just wanted to remind everyone that creating new products takes time, and you can't expect figure companies to be all like "Okay, let's get this made, so our customers will buy it." Oh no, it isn't like that at all. Perhaps some of you have noticed issues with supply chains. Well, that's part of it, but mostly, there are three main problems for collectors, myself included:

1. If you're looking for new stuff and old stuff, just be aware that you won't always be able to actually view and or touch the newest figures up close in an actual store. This is because brick and mortar stores are slowly closing their doors or rather shutting down completely. Don't blame me, it's not me, it's Amazon, and the like.

2. Have you ever noticed that the retired figures seem to be more expensive? Boy I hate that, especially when trying to get them from ebay, which is my main source for figures for my collection.

3. Okay, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here it is: inflation, flation, and you guessed it! More Inflation. I mean has anyone else besides me noticed that inflation affects everything, from gas, to groceries, to yes, our collections! It's all very annoying if you ask me. Not to get into a political viewpoint, but you know, what can I say, secretly, everyone knows that someday this whole inflation thingy will come crashing down, and then what will we do? Well, at this point, I don't know. What I do know is that I'm just trying so hard to cross stuff off my searchlist. And I guess that's my plan. For now, anyway. Also, when oh when will we hear about CollectA 2022? I mean, how much longer do we have to wait? Just wondering, because Personally, I would like a bearded seal, for my collection. Now that's a figure that I don't have. Anyway, sorry I went a little off topic, but hey, I was just making a point. Hope you all understood it. Anyway, I'm going to be placing an online order in a few days, so if there's new additions, then I'll write again. Oh yeah, and whoever wrote that thing about the goats, yes, I agree, we need more species of goats.

Hi Guys,

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about collecta 2022 releases yet. Just wondering, because I have a few models from 2021, and they look really nice. Anyway, if anyone has any news for collecta 2022, then let me know.

They typically announce the next year's releases on Facebook, every Friday in November.

They will start announcing on Nov 5th.

Very interesting, thank you! I can't wait!

I think Indri is a good choice. There are no currently available figures of one.
And, any species of crane, heron, or stork.

I'm still waiting for a Rhea, a new Whale species, or a Common Crane.

I just hope CollectA continue with more new species than re-vamp years of just updated figures.

If I was to predict next year's wildlife and little wonders I'd say:
Giant panda family - update, maybe downsize to adult and baby
Adult polar bear - update
Chimpanzee family - update, maybe downsize to adult and baby
Red fox - update
Badger - update
Possibly a poison dart frog species to go with the recent Darwin's frog
Arctic fox or another Antarctic penguin species. The polar range of CollectA isn't huge
Another tropical fish species, likely a regal tang, clown anenomefish or a butterflyfish species
Maybe a crab or shrimp species as they have ventured into crustaceans with great success
