I'm praying for this!! <3


Also, I'd like Schleich to make a ringtailed lemur... Since Bullyland released one this year, it could be possible..

I want cats... a lot of cats! I want to see a Siamese, a Persian, a black ninja cat, some weird orange cat (like the one they retired in 2011, my favorite one), a vampire cat with huge teeth, another grey cat that resembles Tom from Tom & Jerry, some new lions, a male lion with a better pose, a new cheetah, a black panther, maybe a collie dog, another goofy dog that resembles Scooby-Doo, a fella with a green t-shirt and shaggy hair that is supposed to feed the dogs, and a brand new black knight without a horse I would also like to see an exclusive set with a human and a cougar, since this animal is not available by Schleich. Also a king cheetah and a snow leopard. A black horse with a cool pose, and a new set of cowboys and natives, or maybe some kind of soldiers? :) Not a Smurf collector, but I'd love to see a Smurf rock band as well, with a lot of interesting pieces and variety of musical instruments like guitar, drums, bass, piano, a male vocalist, a female vocalist... and... my wish list can continue forever. But these are the things I'd love to see the most

I hope at least one of these is available in 2013

That's an impressive list!!

I would also like to see a cougar, but most of all a clouded leopard. I'm not sure how well Schleich would do one but it is a beautiful cat.

Also, lots of birds!

First, agreeing with what's already been said, I'd like to see at least one new and interesting big cat: a cougar or clouded leopard, or king leopard. Or heck, why not an ocelot?

I'd also like to see a Water Buffalo -- not an African Cape Buffalo, of which there are many, but a true Asian Water Buffalo, either wild or domesticated.

Maybe a Masked Palm Civet? or a Kodiak Bear? Any of these would be great.

And of course, a new Dachshund. Any company that makes dogs but doesn't make a Dachshund should be ashamed of itself.

As I wrote to them about a week ago, I would essentially like to see more wildlife animals in action: running, walking, etc and not just standing at attention. Not only do I like it but I find the younger kids who play with them are always having them moving, running, walking etc--so why not make ones already doing that. The horse replicas they make are very active looking...so lets bring it over to the wildlife!

This.

I've noticed that the poses of the Schleich figures have become very static lately.

...I,m absolutely sure that Schleich MUST to MAKE a new HIPPO family!!! Because old models was made in... 1991 !!!! (female) and 1996 !!! (male) years!!! This is a SHAME!

they MUST get rid of the lippazaners and make a morgan or paso

Brazilian tapir
Quagga
Clouded leopard
gaur
bluebuck
Auroch
Sivitherium

I agree with the hippoes being nice, old things, ready for giving room for a new generation, so they can rest on the shelves on collectors

And a quagga

And MONKEYS

i just hope for more really exotic animals... (I mean "exotic" in the way, that the animals more rare and not the typical choice for animal-figurines, like elephants and lions. eventhough i like elephants and lions!) i would like to see more beautyful fishes (like seahorses and so on...) or maybe a special collection of butterflies! But i also hope for more different and rarer dog-races, like a chow-chow but we will see. Maybe we could send a short wishlist to schleich together with a electronic "signing" from everybody with 10 animal-races were hoping for, like a friendly petition! (even it would just be in time for 2014...)

@pipi6: for some reason, I strongly suspect they are going to retire the lipazzaners. I feel it in my gut.

@quagga: A Gaur or Auroch would be awesome!

@Sergey and Susanne: I've never been down on the hippo like some other have and I quite like it, but I agree entirely with you both that they need to introduce a new hippo family. It's time.

@Loridena: I wonder if Schleich would pay any attention if we did send something like that. I like the idea a lot. I just always find myself wondering how Schleich regards collectors and whether they've made any attempt to assess how much of an economic impact collectors have on their profits. (And if they have, I wonder what the results were!)

So, I'm adding Gaur (or Auroch) to my list.

It is now (in no particular order):
1. New and interesting Big Cat (Clouded Leopard, Ocelot, or King Leopard, and not just a repaint!)
2. Asian Water Buffalo
3. Kodiak Bear
4. Masked Palm Civet
5. Gaur (or Auroch)
6. a new DACHSHUND. c'mon!

More birds! Silky terrier&Skye terrier! Okapi with baby! ... I could continue this list for ever...

Also bugs, butterflies and other insects would be nice

Maybe new sable antelope
I would love to see new okapi with calf and some bulls (wisent, gaur, water buffalo, bison...). Also musk-ox family, black wildebeest, bongo, new hippos, new horses in much better poses ...

My wish list are horses!

- Appaloosa mare and foal
- English toroughtbred mare and foal
- Fjord mare and foal
- Lusitano mare and foal
- Mustang mare and foal
- Palomino mare and foal

Maybe some other breads, stallions, mares and foals.

I will like a new stable room to stable the horses.

And last I hope a lot of new rabbits!

i think they should also think about getting new buildings maybe like a farmhouse. i also think that they need to make more sea life and birds as they have left these out for a few years, but what ever happens i hope they will make some wonderful new ones for 2013

Good idea Kiana! I would love more terriers. I'm sad they discontinued some of the others (like the Airedale and Fox terrier).

it would be great if schleich and papo also made a sable. Then we'd have sables from the "big five."

I've never been into bird figures that much, but I just realized that I really would like Schleich to make a cassowary.

I'd like to see more Australian/New Zealand animals: Wombat, Tasmanian Devil, Dingo, Wallaby, Cassowary, Emu, Kiwi and Platypus.
Plus South American animals: Lowland Tapir, Ocelot, Mara, Nandu, Seriema, a new Anteater and Armadillo, Chinchilla, Porcupine, Margay, Jaguarundi, Giant Otter and Coati.

If there will be at least one of those, I'll be happy.

A range of animals in the classic 1:32nd scale!

they have already made a porcupine in the bayala section so why don't they just also put it in the nature section. i also agree on the anteater because they have missed that out for quite a few years and i think if they made one or even a family for it, lots of people would buy it. i think they should make new bears with more detail and give families to the skunk, wolverine.......and especially new whales in the seal life

I forgot one. There is also one Horse I would really really want, the best horse breed ever: FINNHORSE!!! = Suomenhevonen

Yes, yes, some more Scandinavian horses

the finnhorse [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
and a Jutland horse : [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

And a very heavy, compact and powerful one, - not the pony- or Shire looking ones that Safari and Bullyland made
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I think in the Schleich Horse Category is

-1. A Saddle Bred Group - A Foal,Mare,and Stallion
