Noch ein Dresdner? Hallo.

Welcome Tyler.

What does Schleich 2012 bring out? I hope for more moving horses. And more dogs in the actual scale.

More different wild animals. Children should lern to know what lives on our planet.

gharial,hippo family,leopard seal,new monkey,new antalope harpy eagle. My guess for 2012.

peace.

Joe

For 2012 I'd like to see the following cattle breeds made:
Hereford Cattle Family - mojos are good but don't show the correct markings -
Angus Cattle Family - red or black -
Gurnsey Cattle Family - never seen a model of this breed before -

The cattle-breed i would like to see the most is the jersey (maybe because we had a jersey when I was small)

Or why not a Swedish mountain cattle? (not likley, but that would be realy cool )

Totally agree but probably won't happen

Tyler, Britains made the Guernsey/Jersey cattle already in the 1960's in lead, and later on in plastic from the same moulds, although everything is in the 1:32 scale of that time.
In the late 1990's, Ertl USA bought the Britains company and their moulds, and are still producing some of the models under the name Britains...
The original Britans models came in several variations in colour and mould through the years, and the last mould is still used by Ertl today.
Probably all of the Britains cows, bulls and calfs were made in a Jewrsey version to.
I don't own all of them, but a lot.
the earlier models from the late 1960's up to the mid 1980's are called vintage models, the later models are called deetail models.

Welcome from Portugal, We'd loved to see your collection, you are a really young member and you share the love for horses as many other members of this forum. Feel free to enjoy with us! :)

My personal guessing for 2012 :


I think, Schleich will publish following figures in 2012 :

WILDLIFE

Indian Rhino
Indian Rhino Calf

New African Elephant bull
New African Elephant cow
New african Elephant calf

Ostrich Female

New Hippo
New Hippo Calf

Striped Hyena
Black Leopard
Black Leopard cub

New Chimp
New Chimp Baby

Tapir calf

New Crocodile

Gaur Bull

Fallow Deer
Fallow Deer Female
Fallow Deer Calf

Eurasian Otter
Kodiak bear
Kodiak bear cub

New Walrus

FARMLIFE


New Pig
two diffrent new piglets

Hungarian Mangalitza-Pig
Hungarian Mangalitza-Piglet

New Sheep Family

New Texas Longhorn bull

New Donkey foal

Galloway bull
Galloway cow
Galloway calf

New Goat family, maybe Waliser Goats from switzerland.

HORSES

Palomino Mare
Palomino Foal

Quarter Horse mare
Quarter horse foal

New Friese mare
New Friese foal

I'm not familar with all the diffrent horse races, so its hard for me, to say, which new horse races will come out in 2012...

RETIRED :

African Elephant family
Hippo bull
Chimp Family
Black Rhino female
gazelle
Gazelle Calf
Crocodile

Grizzly bear
Grizzly bear cub

White tailed deer family

Pig and piglet

Sheep family
Texas Longhorn bull

Araber Foal
Hannoveraner mare, dressur
Mustang stallion
Friese mare
Friese foal



I think, this is a realistic view. Altough I would love to see more antelopes, I don't belive in new antelope species in 2012, they have now three diffrent antelope species, but who knows...But it would be a miracle.......


I'm sure, Schleich will present us some more surprises as they did this year...So lets hope for 2012, in just a few weeks, we will know...

I like your forecast, Bongo. But if Schleich introduced Striped Hyena it would be a MIRACLE indeed!
By the way, why do you think they could retire Gazelles? They are not old and look much better than, say, the hippo.

I think, Schleich could produce a Striped Hyena, after they had twice a spotted hyena.

They have to do new models each year, and because I don't belive in new antelopes, they could do another african predator. The lions and leopards are new, so the hyenas are he largest and most known african carnivore species, and there not really much popular asian or american cats....A clouded leopard would be a good example for a big miracle....

I know, the gazelles are new, but Schleich had many models in the past, which were sold only two years, and antelopes are no big sellers, so in every store I've been to in the last weeks, there were a lot of gazelles left...

Thats the reason why I don't belive in a new antelope species in 2012...I think, the Kudu was produced, because there are not too much animals left, which are attraktive enough for the common people..So why they have procuced again the Kudu and not a Sable Antelope, a Bongo or an Eland ?

oh i hope so!!!

but i doubt it. just because my poor beloved sheep seem to be overlooked. very sad.
i'd be in heaven if someone actually made different breeds of sheep! but i know that's never going to happen, so it doesn't bother me.

Well, not all Phil, but that is very hard.
So i am always looking out for replacements for the ones that are not so good, or to much damaged or scratched...

1. NEW HIPPO...PREF A FEMALE WITH ITS MOUTH CLOSED AND A CALF TOO WOULD BE GREAT.(THE OLD MODEL IS OVER 15 YEARS OLD NOW...TIME FOR A NEW MODEL!!)

2. NEW PANDA..PREF PANDA IN A SITTING POSITION EATING BAMBOO...(PLEASE MAKE IT LOOK REALISTIC THIS TIME, THE OLD MODELS LOOK TOO CUTE)

3. A KOALA FAMILY ..ALONG THE LINES OF THE BADGERS FROM 2011...WE NEED MORE WILDLIFE FROM AUSTRALIA!

4. A SNOW LEOPARD...IVE WANTED ONE FOR SOOOOOOOOO LONG..ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BIG CATS AND PROB THE MOST ENDANGERED...

5. AN ARMADILLO...BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE WE SAW THIS FUNNY LITTLE CREATURE.

6. AN AARDVARK...NEVER SEEN IN THE SCHLEICH LINE BEFORE.

7. A FEMALE OSTRICH..MUCH NEEDED TO GO WITH THE OSTRICH CHICK !

8. A RED PANDA FAMILY...GORGEOUS CREATURES AND WOULD BE A FIRST FOR SCHLEICH.

9. A RAINDEER OR CARIBOU...BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE SAW THIS ONE IN THE SCHLEICH LINEUP.

10. A BABOON FAMILY ...WE NEED MORE PRIMATES IN 2012...

11. LLAMAS OR ALPACAS OR BOTH...

Welcome Noahandtheark, I hope you will enjoy the STS forum

There is already a topic about Schleich 2012. I will transfer your post into this topic where I'm sure our friends will answer your wishlist

Noah, I think the skunk, aardvark and flamingo are long-overdue Schleich figurines. One could probably add the porcupine, opossum and capybara to that list.....however, the "creative department" at Schleich AG these days is notoriously unimaginative...except when it comes to putting out overpriced novelty stuff like the dragons and the heroes/animal duos.

I'm waiting for the announcement of a special "flying pigs and cows" line, with each figurine priced at 100 euros...
