Depends what you name early. On MPF a topic about this was up the moment they had the first 2015 facts.
And why not?

My answer? I seriously don't care what they make for 2016, nor do I have a WL for them... If they are going further on this scale, none Schleich animals will be in my collection added next year....

a bit early isn't it I haven't even decided my predictions yet

There's nothing wrong with a little excitement about the upcoming year.

I also do not have any true wishes from this brand, but I enjoy reading about excitement from others in our village.

All I wish for is an improvement in quality and strategy for releases.

Male elves would indeed be nice.

I've noticed a trend with Schleich to bring out a series of new kinds of animals that were previously rather unexplored each year. In the last few years, these have been: birds, primates and this year, reptiles. I am not sure what it will be this year, but I certainly hope we see more Australian animals, as well as some unusual animals like anteaters and sloths. Here are my speculations and my wishes:

Speculations:
- Grey wolf pup
- Arctic wolf pup
- Lion cub(s)
- Jaguar
- Leopard
- Antelope of some kind
- New birds

Wishlist:
- Male gibbon to complete the family
- Fruit bat, hanging
- Armadillo
- Giant anteater
- Aardvark
- Sloth
- Tasmanian devil
- Wombat
- Echidna
- Platypus
- Quoll
- Bilby
- New koala (current one is quite ugly)
- New kangaroos with realistic faces and colours
- Caracal
- Serval
- Mountain lion
- Snow leopard
- Maned wolf
- Sun bear
- Sea turtle hatchling
- Grevy's zebra
- Waterbuck
- Eland
- Flamingo
- Hippo baby standing and additional pose for adult
- Prehistoric Mammals and Birds... I miss the old Prehistoric mammals and I think Schleich could do a good job on new ones.

I like how Schleich is bringing out new birds, but they often look weird with open wings. I'd like to see more variety in poses for the birds.

I like the look of that list Schleich should come on here and see it too

I would love to see wild animals in different poses. Lately the animals are just staining or walking. I would like to see more action
My wishes

Africa
- lioness running
- Zebra stallion rearing
- Zebra mare trotting
- Zebra foal Running
- Giraffe running

Horses
- Ardennes mare
- Frisian Foal and/or yearling
- Quarter horses
- New clydesdales
- Pinto foal

I hope for these too and they seem quite possible too as predictions, I think

And I hope very much for general anatomic improvement and less forced cuteness.

My prediction list is being worked on still I don't know when to post it yet

I don't either really have any serious excpectesions from Schleich - but if they can improve their style and realism I'd like to see;

Marwari
Hackney
Bretagne horse
North Swedish horse
Some really nice Clydesdales
Rocky mountain horse
Real looking cute welsh ponies

But I just wish for realistic, nice models :)

If they do make new clydesdales, i would like to see one with a long tail instead of a docked one.

my wishes are:
orca jumping
flyingfish
mandrill tree
baboon jeep
bubble nest(for fish)
catfish

Yep - and one with all the show decoration stuff on

YES!!!!

One more thing i have been wanting from schleich for at least three years.... a mule. I think that donkeys and horses just aren't enough, at least one mule. I wish for an adult, and a maybe family (Male donkey, female horse, and mule foal)
I would also like to see a snow leopard...... because i love them.... a lot
