South America was often poorly represented when most releases featured AFrican animals. It is changing and I like it very much. South American fauna is incredibly diversified and interesting. Howler monkey, harpy eagle and sloth are surely in my cogitations. Unfortunately, Schleich is releasing species that the company already released competently in previous years. :)

Safari really did a wonderful job this time .
But again, - the frog is a re-launch

Safari really did a wonderful job this time
I wish to state that Schleich succeeds better Jaguars; their relatives, leopards

I understand companies making birds with their wings extended.
It looks pretty and educational, but they take up sooooo much space.
I can't have any more of those birds on my shelves because of space issues.
That's why Harpy Eagle makes me happy.
I love them birds of prey.

Look like Safari 2017 releasing more wild life than ever before.

Can't wait to see Harpy eagle, Squirrel monkey & Howler monkey that really appeals to me.

For Schleich, I have to agreed that what luke said - The Jaguar is really beautiful. but I am also hoping Papo will be introducing a new Jaguar next year.

Mojo Tortoise added

Papo added... I so badly wanted to do it before Christmas

... and you did! Thanks Christophe! What a fantastic golden era of toy animal figures we are living! Two sloths and it seems Schleich will also announce a sloth during 2017. Although many people is not very complacent with Mojö releases of last years. I want to recall that it was Mojö, the newer of these companies, the first brave enough to release a sloth. I also remember the controversy about the pose not showing a sloth upside down in a branch but Papo and Safari have not opted for that solution either. I like both sloths anyway but it will be hard that a sloth figure won't please me. I am very happy about the ocelot, a new feline in the market is always very welcome. The horned frog is a very curious figure that I was not expecting at all and the toucan looks like a dinosaur... maybe because it is indeed.

Hoffmanns sloth is a must have, also interesting are the ocelot, the other sloth, the harpy eagle, the tortoise and the melanistic jaguar

Bullyland and Mojo added

It's probably because other companies are giving them a run for their money.....Safari thought they could get away with the same animals and now they have to diversify

Three-toed sloth by ??? added

It means we will send a newsletter from Schleich very soon to all members. We will have to wait before showing again news from this company.

Hmm, ok it must be a new strategy.  

The Mojo tortoise, the Safari howler, sloth , harp eagle and the Papo ocelot and sloth are very interesting :)

I'm not a fan of the Safari Ltd sloth but I agree with the rest of your list.

But it is the only version (without a special version) of that sloth specie :)

I know but there is something odd in that sloth.

That is a great list! What's the hope for next year? Any rummors?
