Schleich 2022 releases with PICTURES!

the slow loris, iguana, and (of course) emperor scorpion sound neat. I probably don't need the slow loris or iguana at this point, as I doubt they'll be better than ones I have (depending on the exact species, of course). But happy to see Schleich venturing into their second arthropod.

Wow I'm really excited for some of these species, especially the loris, tapirs, and puma. I really hope they don't turn out like their recent years... I guess we will have to wait and see

Thanks @Tupolew Tu-154 for providing the list!
I have to start with the slow loris, I often commented on forum that Schleich could keep making cute animals but not always the same because there are a few obscure species that are really cute. Slow loris is one of these and I am so happy Schleich is releasing one! OK, I also thought Schleich was the perfect brand to make a fennec and they ruined it but the koala is very good, let's hope Schleich makes a good looking slow loris.
I am also happy they're releasing a tapir, or better, two. Surprising to see a tapir calf on Schleich range. About the adulte, I just hope it is not a remastered version of the old model with updated texture. I am almost sure it will be a Malayan but please a different one, preferrably an expressive creature.
A puma is another release that amazes me, we still need a great puma. Schleich was quite predictable some years ago but now they're not. Will we have a puma as good as their cheetah or as poor as their snow leopard?
A few horses, the ragdoll cat or the grey hound are figures I am very curious about. A grey hound for Schleich? Will it be chubby?
Goldendoodle is an innovation, it was not a long time ago [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] suggested these crosses between two different breeds to be released as figures. It is not something exciting for me but that's new to the market and I applaud.

Wow, what an interesting and exciting list, thank you!
I immediately scrolled through to the dogs and  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] you remembered very well, I suspected Scheich would be the first and now we'll have a lovely Goldendoodle! A very clever choice given their popularity and of course how they're a cute breed- lots of families with young children have them too so I'm sure it'll sell well. I'm glad they chose one crossed with a goldie of all breeds too, that's very exciting! I'm sure it will be a bit controversial, as the real dogs are, but the goldendoodle is definitely one of the crossbreeds that is becoming close to being a breed in its own right, which is maybe why Schleich chose it- as can be seen on their association's website with a breed standard: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I wonder if it'll be closely based around this? That fur texture would need to be done correctly to make it recognisable as the breed- their poodle from this year was the best we've had in a long time so maybe a poodle cross will also turn out to be good too! I'm very interested to see photos of this one, as long as Schleich don't make it overly cute or overly small we might have a beautiful first model of a crossbreed!
The Greyhound really surprised me- not a typical cute, fluffy dog which worries me because it definitely won't look cute if Schleich try and make it chubby as Roger said with big eyes- I really hope they keep the elegance and beauty of this breed! I suspect it would look a bit like their Rhodesian Ridgeback, a bit meagre and lacking much detail- but I hope they'll make an effort to include all that muscle structure that the athletic build of the greyhound has! I'm very excited for this one too! An interesting choice if breed s well, I know that here in the UK lots of people are rescuing ex-racing greyhounds and they've become quite popular this way, but I can't think of any other reason why they'd choose this breed!
And a Bull Terrier, wow, another breed that isn't a typical 'cute' dog but the result will definitely be interesting- I really hope Schleich keep it as close to the true breed as possible! They're known for their small triangular eyes, and so I hope Schleich will keep it this way! It's another breed that would need a muscular sculpt to look recognisable as this breed- I do hope that Schleich can recreate this detail accurately. I've also noticed that all these breeds could only require basic painting- I hope that we won't see the basic brown and white like the Jack Russell on the bull terrier- although I think this might be the case- and that they'll try and make it as realistic as possible!
Very exciting list, I can't wait for the photos of these dogs!

Thanks for the list, I had fun reading it and it seems interesting.
I'm more interested in the Slow Loris of course and the Iguana since I haven't one yet.
And who doesn't wish for a good Puma? I was hoping for a Baboon or a Gelada instead of another Mandrill, but anyway the species list is better than expected.
Also as Roger mentioned, the Cat breed is a fine choice, I just hope it will be as good the Maine Coon and not as cheesy as the Bengal..

What seems weird is that I see a new Stork placed in their Farm line. Could it be a Schleich mistake or we're lost in translation?  

we have a great puma! Safari Ltd!

I am not going to lie, I have a lot to look forward to in 2022. Schleich's better work has been in the Eldrador and Bayala lines these past few years and the list for those lines looks promising.

I am also very eager to see the Nothosaurus and the Plump Loris. The new dogs and ragdoll cat sound promising, but we'll see how they turn out. As well as the Belgian Broodmare. I am very interested in it bc it specifically says broodmare. Will she be in foal?

If you click the stork link, it reads it is for wildlife series but the product number is for a farm series model what is not uncommon once often storks are included in farm series.

Thank you very much for the link! I was happy to translate it into my language! Can't wait to see some pictures

An interesting list of species and breeds.Will wait to see how cutesy/cartoony they may or may not be!!

I have taken the libery to make a bit of stylised list, hope that is okay.

interesting are the new prices: 1€ more for all- that is a big step

It's inflation, all things become more expensive. Thanks to carbon dioxide tax.

The dogs really do sound interesting! Papo and Collecta both make lovely bull terriers, but with brown/black markings. I wonder if Schleich will dare to make a pure white one?

And I need the Goldendoodle!

Slow Loris  ???

Slow Loris  ?!?

Slow Loris !!!!

Hopefully, the slow loris will be next years' proboscis monkey. As for the common species seen 1875687880 times, I'm most interested in the puma because all currently available are basically catastrophic (the worst represented big mammal with the lynx IMO) and the iguana because the vintage Schleich is starting to get old. It's very unlikely that I will replace my tapir and unfortunately, it will be a female since it is coming with a calf. But I'm no synoptic collector so all will depend on the size and aesthetic compatibility. I will unlikely accept a new mandrill male though, wouldn't be logical, and I already have a cute beaver pair but these live in families so...

Thanks for the information, Gwaine! I notice that 15028 in Evira's post is still vacant. One more prehistoric figure to come?

An ORNITHOPOD!!!!!! Thank you Schleich. your collection is no longer lacking one.   And i like Reintroduction of the Styracosaurus and your Choice of Ornithopod (Parasaurolophus)Into the line as well, since those were originally from the "World Of History" Days.

Looks like a solid lineup for next year. If they're done well, I'll probably get all the wildlife animals and the stork. Great to see they're doing another tapir, too. The first one is one of my favorite Schleich figures.

Given Schleich's poor track record with prehistoric toys lately, my hopes are not high for 2022. I'm most excited about the new Eldrador listings. The Jungle Ruler is presumably similar to the existing Stone Monster, Ice Giant, and Lava Demon. Stone Dragon and Ice Tiger sound promising as well.

I don't think that is a mistake, white storks build their nests frequently on top of buildings in rural areas, it makes sense to have it in Farm World, similar to how and why wild ducks can exist in that line.

The releases are overall very exciting, I would have wished for a new black rhinoceros but the overall lineup is quite promising.
I can't say no to slow loris, mandrill and puma, depending on how well the sculpt of the others will be I will go for the rest of the Wild Life lineup as well.
For the stork I'll wait how it compares to the Papo version.
The llama unicorn and doughnut unicorn for Bayala seem fun, I wasn't much interested in this year's fruit theme, just wish there was something as amazing as the glitter owl again, Bayala is after all very horse dominated.
With the new dinosaurs it depends on how they turn out for the most part, I will definitely get the Nothosaurus and Majungasaurus regardless, even if the latter turns out as wonky as last year's Cryolophosaurus, but I would love to have large versions of either on my shelf and nothing can't be fixed by a resculpt, regarding Parasaurolophus I am fine with the older one they made unless it turns out to be on a similar level of quality as this year's Pachycephalosaurus, then I might get it too.
Regarding Amargasaurus I am very curious, I don't expect it to be as good as Safari's, but hope it might turn out better than Papo's, that is if it is made by the same sculptor who made this year's Brontosaurus.
If the Styracosaurus will look as decent as the Conquering the Earth Triceratops I will be interested to some degree, it can't be as bad as the World of History one at least.
With all that said I hope that Schleich gives us discount codes again this December so I can use that again like with this year's releases on New Year.

I'm sorry, Blaine, but Safari puma is far from being good... even further from being great, IMO. The only acceptable one is the last Papo's, but the paintjob is not good enough.
However, even the handmades cannot catch properly the features of this animal, so I guess is a difficult one. Let's see what Schleich has to offer. Last years releases doesn't give us much hope, but they have the cheetah and tiger master pieces so...

As for me, apart from the puma, I'm interested in the iguana and the slow loris (I've rejected the Eikoh in several orders, it doesn't convince me 100%) mainly. The loris will have the cutest face, but it may fit to this particular species.

The stork may replace my current white one (the oldest Schleich), let's see the mandrill, ...

15028 is not on the spielzeug guenstig list, so I do not know.
