A few new things have come to my attention and have been added with today's update.
In the big 9275 Pet Hotel set the golden retriever has a new number. Looks like maybe a new paint variation. We will see when one ends up in hand. It has it's own page for now.
Also from the Pet Hotel series is this kitten from set 9276 with new eye paint
Also in kittens, from the Easter Egg 9417 there is a new part number for the single standing black kitten 30 20 5193
From Specials Plus the 9438 set has a new color variation of the type two baby unicorn
The 9324 Mermaids Carry Case set has instructions online now and there is one certain new color variation and up to three others based on part numbers.
For certain is the hair ornament shell in blue
Highly probably new is the seahorse in gold. The last gold seahorse was in the old gold they don't use any more. So this one is probably in new gold and therefore called light gold by me so far.
Two other possibilities in that set are the white clam box with a new part number, and the blue starfish that had not had a known number before. I will get the set soon and will confirm those when I can compare them in person.
While looking at seahorses I noticed that there are two color variations on the light purple small seahorse.
The one on the right is the usual one from sets, the one on the left came from the Funpark. The lighter one on the right also came from the Funpark though so I am placing them together under the known part number for now. I have unopened bags from the Funpark with the same assortment having the lighter one in one and the darker in another.
Finally here is the German Shepherd new style in plain tan. It was bought online from a reseller in a group of 4 and is probably a factory escapee. Could just be the regular one unpainted. It actually looks great and would make a nice release in the future, but it hasn't been in a set yet. Thanks to Elizabeth for pointing them out to me.
We are now at 47 new animals for 2018 including planned unreleased ones, and 1420 total. There is a variant on one of the unicorns to be added yet I will get to next update and new info will be added as I hear about things.
