Oh, it would be really cool if they added more dolphin species and updated some of the existing cetacean figures like the beluga whale or killer whale. They could update the design of the bottlenose dolphin, because despite the fact that it is already very cute, it does not quite match the color of the real specimen.
It would be cool if Collecta added some kind of porpoise or false killer whale, or common dolphin. I wouldn't mind a white-faced dolphin, I think it would look great in a catalog of aquatic life.
The last addition with the river dolphin and right whale was absolutely beautiful, so I'd really like to see them add something new in 2025.

I'll start with a little break down from my last year's wishlist, to see which ones and how many were fulfilled.

From my last wishlist CollectA released a remake of their Border Collie, an Oldenburger mare (for some reason I wanted a stallion last year but I am very pleased with the mare) and the repainted Lusitano stallion with a different coat colour from what I guessed.

In conclusion my wishlist nearly fully remains.

Let's start with Wildlife:
I still would love to see more felines. A cougar, jaguar, an ocelot and a karakal would be some nice additions to their range. Additionally I would love to see some more cubs for their current felines like the lynx, the amur leopard or the african leopard and black panther.
New antelopes and deer species like a Sika or a Muntjac and females and calves for their current ones would be also great.
Furthermore it would be very nice to see some remakes of their older moulds like the hare and the wolves and more candids like a dingo or an African wild dog (with puppies).
And I would still love to see a yak and wisent family.

For farm animals:
More cattle breeds like the Charolais or Galloway (I would really love to see a black bull) would be wonderful additions to their current line. It would be also great to see a black highland cow and remade versions of the calves, lamb, piglets and donkey foals.

For dogs:
In addition to their remakes, I would love to see some new breeds like an Irish Wolfhound, a Pomeranian, some German hunting dogs, a Newfoundlander and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. More puppies would be also very nice.

For cats:
Pretty much the same as last year as CollectA didn't release a single cat.

For horses:
I was a little bit surprised that CollectA didn't release as many repaints as the two years before but therefore focused more on newer moulds which I really appreciate. I'm still not fond on their new riding line, as CollectA was always the brand for me, that set themselves apart from it. In my opinion they just didn't need to get into this market as they can't really win against Schleich in this area. But now it's there.
Now on to my repaint guesses:
I'll still stick with the MFT mare and the Tennessee Walker stallion just as his colt.
For the other one I guess that they could repaint the Akhal Teke mare. I would love to see a chestnut or liver chestnut with a star or snip.
And I would still love to see a repaint of the Mustang filly with a similar coat as her mother's.

For new breeds:
I was very pleased with the Breton stallion and Warlander mare and would be very happy if their new models would look just as great as them.
Next year I would love to see a Connemara stallion with a foal, a seal bay Barb mare, a Malopolski mare and an Irish Draft stallion. Additionally I would be very happy if they could add some more foals to their horses.

Collecta really needs to start a new Polar bear family. The current one is from 2008.

Also the 2006 Grizzly bear needs an upgrate.

But Sun/Moon/Sloth/Spectacle bears are welcome too.

A ceratopsian toob
A stegosaurian and ankylosaurian toob (merge together, because not enough species).

A deluxe megatheirum a Scutosaurus Inostrancevia with movable saw a large sized Leedsicthys Hyneria new chasmosaurus

Some fish and cetaceans I'd like to see...

-Baiji (Chinese river dolphin)
-A new, more accurate Pacific white-sided dolphin

-Sun fish
-Atlantic Blue marlin
-Giant oarfish
-Yellowfin tuna
-Great barracuda
-Red-bellied piranha

We also need more birds, they are under-represented in the form of toy models, why?

-Ostrich
-Common raven
-White pelican
-Blue heron
-Common loon
-Mallard
-Wood duck
-Mandarin duck
-Red-crowned crane
