OMG, that would just be unnatural

:)) When one wants to represent a more or less wide fauna diversity on one shelf, that picture you posted couldn't be a model to emulate.

:) Well, after seeing so many new antelopes by various brands in the last two years, I can say that introducing new antelopes in 2013 would be too mainstream and boring. :)
I prefer balance in my "shelf biodiversity'. If one wants to make an African savannah wildlife display, how would it look with an abundance of antelopes crowding on the shelf and without smaller mammals, birds and reptiles? Who will be sitting on the branches of Schleich Acacia, to say the least?!!! :) :)

Yeah More Four-toed hedgehog

We need defenitely more Cats and Rabbits, currently, there are only four adult cats, the cute kittens and only four rabbits. And of course it is absolutly time for a new mule swan with chicks, the current one and the chicks is already two years old !

:) Four-toed hedgehog is more from the pet category, so it's not the case.
I mean that the market lacks such representative species as colobuses and other larger monkeys, caracal, genets, ratel, mongooses, guinea fowl, gray parrots,etc.

I know what you mean Kyrill and I guess all of them would be in the SAFARI Ltd, COLLECTA or MOJÖ catalogue before SCHLEICH

here is my wishlist on what i get first
chimp family
hippos
girzzlys
panther

I was just playing a game on [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and ran into this. I don't know if I'm right, but all the heroes came together with their animals, and their animals never came alone... not with such a picture...

Yes is because
The phanter (ANIMAL) go more fast that the panther (Human) Noctis
Or the bear is more strong that Torak the human.

Yes, I know, but I thouth that maby it is a picture of the 2013 black panther...

No, is of the pack of Noctis.
I hope that schleich make a new phanter model. :)

It also reminds me of last year when I saw the falcon on the cards but I noticed that it was not on the product list

I know it is the same mold, but it is also the same mold as the normal panther. and like the tigers it could be the black panther of 2013 :)

I think you're right. I guess they will leave the Noctis' panther with the same mold. Look at this:

Yes that would be a fantastic figure

Why not, Roger? To my mind, parrots are perfect candidates for figurines: they look very good and can "sit" on the trees in dioramas, many of them are rather large, and from the marketing point of view - parrots are recognizable by target audience and simply beautiful.

Kiril, that is a personal reason, I have much more enthusiasm with a new feline species than with a hearthworm. Like all collectors I have my preferences. In terms of strategy I think parrots are excelent choices, I commented it before.
As I never expect too much from Schleich I "suggested" in previous years that a brand can make new species without being risky. Schleich did it with the golden-collared parrot, that's a parrot, colorful and parrots are popular as pets. Schleich is also doing it with the African penguin, a popular figure as a penguin or even the snake.
Mojo did it with the Iberian lynx. They needed a lynx why not a new species? CollectA with the striped hyena.
But, although I'm not an enthusiast of parrots, I'd loved if Schleich released a kakapo. Something very interesting for collectors and kids and the fact of being flightless wouldn't destroy all its interest as a parrot.
Another thing is that joining Bullyland, Safari and Schleich, we have already several parrots. Schleich is releasing its 4th parrot to collectors, a brand that, in more than 20 years, never gave, for example, a single flamingo to collectors, not talking about other known bird species.
CollectA striped hyena and Mojo ªIberian lynx are the first representatives of these animals in their brand ranges.
Diversity is not only to collect the 4400 different species of earthworms but travel across different kind of animals.
That list is not completely disappointing, some of them are already in my wish list even before seeing the final figure, but in a year where a tapir, kudu, gnu, yak and other interesting animals are retired something more was expectable than open a 2013 catalogue and see dubious gazelles as only representative of antelope like animals. :) We don't need more antelopes because CollectA and other brands released a lot of them recently, but what about Schleich collectors???

Well I'm a schleich collector, and I only collect schleich and I'm very happy with the new animals they will introduce in 2013. Off course I would like a giant Sable or a oryx, or flamingo's and Hyena's. but I don't really care, cause there is always 2014:) I'm very pleased with what they are going to introduce in 2013:)

Sure, it's the matter of taste.
But, nevertheless, how many flamingo species are there in the world, and how many parrot species? 3-4 Schleich parrots are a drop in the ocean.

:) :) I was going to ask you "Schleich collectors"? Who are they???" , but then I saw the post by Zoomaster1994 and now I know they exist. :) And they are happy with the new Schleich line-up, by the way.

Kiril, I replied to that question in my comment! But, as you like statistics and probably not earthworms, think that there are about 5000 species of passerines... how many of them Schleich released? ...and also in Statistics, 4 is infinitely more than 0. Statitics are not always good and sometimes are very distracting. I hope Schleich forget the statistics, although the huge number of hornbill species and give you the chance of using a nice hornbill in your beautiful African display instead of the South American parrots!
