Schleich 2022 releases with PICTURES!

Everyone knows the iconic picture of Marilyn Monroe with her skirt blown up by a blast of a subway vent.
The Amargasaurus reminds me of that. But instead of a skirt, it has its sail blown up.
Just look at that face!

A pity they're all fossilized.

Finally! I was struggling with my brain.

Made my day.

Sadly, nothing that piques my interest. The puma does indeed look the best, but, still, I don't find it any better than the Papo one I already have.

Their previous white stork was way superior.

I think my wallet will be grateful and I'll be able to focus on the Collecta and the few Papo figures I'm still missing (as a new collector).

All flamingos and mandrills always have a place in my home, so... happy.
At first glance, the flamingo reminds me of the Takara Tomy Ania couple and the mandrill reminds me a lot of two from Bullyland (the painting doesn't look very Schleich)... We'll have to wait to see them live to evaluate...

I’m a little concerned about the new Greyhound I’ve never seen one with long hair looks more Afghan hound than greyhound

We probably should fix it becaus it is not a greyhound for sure. Schleich is calling it a windhund that is a sighthound, the breed is not specified as far as I know.

That is one thing i don't like from Schleich. They use generally names for their animals.

Somebody probably noticed this already, but , ohh, horror :
They call the Afghan hound "greyhound"

But I look so much forward to get it, even if it is too cute looking

Dear Evira and Others:

Well, I guess now that we know what Schleich is doing for the first part of 2022, does anyone know what they're doing for the second half? Just wondering. Sorry if I'm thinking ahead, my mind does that a lot. It's like my mind jumps ahead of everyone else's mind, and people are always telling me, not out loud of course, but they're probably thinking: "You're going too fas for the rest of us!" Well, sorry guys, I just like making searchlists. Anyway, if anyone has any news for the second half, let me know.

The second half will come at spring 2022, i believe. ^^

I did a bit of research and I think the confusion must have come because the German for Afghan Hound and it's official name in Germany is 'Afghanischer Windhund', and I guess they must have shortened it to 'Windhund' which then translates to greyhound in English... and then a lot of confusion! I'm not sure why they shortened the name though, maybe to make it sound less unusual and more generic if children are the focus. Or maybe because dog showing and official breeds are perhaps not as mainstream as in England or the US, I think they still have a lot of working type dogs there and so are less specific with breed names... a bit of a mystery! But it's a lovely model, and without as much unnatural exaggerated long fur which is nice!

We will have to wait for the second part of 2022. I find it strange that there is no pack for the first part of 2022

Maybe you've found the right explanation. Afghanistan is not a popular country, nobody wants to buy a Taliban dog to their children. Schleich is very picky with these details, I would't get surprised at all.

It is weird that there aren't any sets releasing in March this year. Maybe there will be a surprise on the Schleich site and catalog come next month.

I think we normally get to see what's up with the second half of the year around February when the toy fairs in Nuremburg and NY take place.

I think it must be some sort of translation error, like Bonnie said an abbreviation which focused on the less important bit of the name, or an online translation gone a bit wrong. The dog itself is clearly an Afghan Hound so we'll just refer to it as that amongst ourselves, right? We know we'll have to type the word 'Greyhound' if we're searching websites to buy it, but other than that I think we should all just agree to call it the Afghan Hound to avoid this naming issue being any weirder than it is already

Oh yes, good point Roger! And agree George, would probably be best to stick with calling it Afghan Hound! Very confusing though!

Hey fellow collectors!

I found on the German schleich website that there are a few of the 2022 novelties available to purchase.
You can find them via this link
It may be handy for the people  who want to get there hands on a few of the new figurines early this time of year.

Any way that is all for now.

Thanks, Loris is the most interesting for me of this batch. 4,99, no cheap figures anymore.

Thank you very much for the link!

Can't wait for when it is available for the US

Taliban dog, i laughed so hard.

me too. The Amargasaurus and Para don’t excite me, but the Majungasaurus at first seemed promising, but (ironically?) it appears to be plagued by clown feet. This is when a toy company gives a theropod bigger feet than Normal in order to increase it stability, but recent companies tend to avoid that by giving them bases, or just making them more stable in other ways. The Nothosaur on the other hand, makes me look forward to next year

Such a shame they don't ship to The Netherlands
