If you haven't done it already, go see my "Around the world with my horses" thread in the Collections section

I can´t find it, can you put a link, please?

I really wish for this coming year that finally Schlecih should do, for kids that live in Brazil, India and countries that have this kind of cattle.
I really didn't kids will love it at all if Schleich will come this 2012
I had wish this, for so, many years and I hope for this 2012

OK, friends, although I share most of your wish-lists, let's post our wishes and dreams in other threads. And leave this one for guesswork and actual info.

Uh, you should've chosen another topic name. I thought you somehow got to know Schleich will really produce zebus...

Me too, - but I would love it also

I wish they will make new hippo or hippo family...

From more unusual species I wish they would made Red River Hog, some duikers, Sun Bear and Mountain Tapir and tamandua and Waterbuck
Maybe for African savanna they would made Marabou stork? That would be first cute Marabou Stork ever made

...The good choiсe Ana! I,ll hope about all this species!

I recently acquired the Papo zebu. I don't collect that line, but it is such a lovely figurine that I simply couldn't resist...

If Schleich could make one of that quality, I would be over the moon, as they say!

Schleich should get with it and finally produce the big one that they've never attempted...(drumroll)...

a Duck-Billed Platypus... :)

It would be wonderful if schleich made a zebu family, Schleich has always been good a cattle.

speaking of horses... they should make Kladruber. Czech breed with amazing body... I would love to see white stallion (they are really huge)

Not just for us but for the kids of many part's of the world that do, know about this breed?

Speaking of Brazil, isn't it time Schleich introduced a capybara figurine?

Sure, why not? And while we're at it, maybe yellow and green anacondas and electric eels!

At the playing cards from Schleich, there are photos from a black panther, a hawk and a porcupine.
So i think that would be new figurines for 2012

But those are already available in the Bayala series. Maybe Schleich will start selling them separately?

I really hope so. I want this porcupine but it's too expensive for me as for now

...Snowy Owl is more possible and also nice, but would be difficult to do it better than Safari or Kayiodo...

By the way, speaking of the Snowy Owl possibility - Schleich has given another hint in their 2011 preview PDF, concerning birds:
"We are going to approach the new developments in the World of Birds with a significant change in the body position in 2011. Giving them the opportunity of spreading their wings ready to fly will equip them with a much better play value and will make them more impressive."
Doesn't it mean that Schleich (finally!) will expand their birds line-up? If we believe in this, and take into account the above mentioned expansion of the Polar World, there are big chances to see a polar bird by Schleich in 2012. And snowy owl seems to be the best candidate from marketing point of view - it's beautiful, recognizable and lives in the same biotopes as polar foxes.
Other Arctic candidates have worse chances to my mind: snow geese look very much alike domestic ones, swans are already available, Canadian goose isn't well known to be exactly an Arctic bird...
What do you think, friends?

That's interesting! What you've said sounds probable. It would be so great if they made a snowy owl - I also like the sound of a Canada Goose.

I'm agreed snowy owl will be probably (reading all your coments about their 2011 preview pdf) one of the new figures on 2012.
Then maybe will be a new line of birds, the polar one (I think that not only animals) and they will go on with the hero's line (they're making a lot of merchandaising about them)
In that case I don't think that they will do many changes or new items in other lines

I think it's likely they'll make an Arctic Hare.
