There have been a couple of updates this month to the Animobil pages I am just getting to writing about here.

First up is the latest new product news. The Naruto figure sets have shown up on Playmobil sites at least temporarily so we have confirmation of the one new animal variant in them - Tonton the pig

The Salahari Sands Novelmore sets are out in Germany. Hoping they come to the US early this next year. Until then here is the painted mammoth skull that is clearly a new variant, thanks to Bob for the photo

part numbers 30 62 8438 for the skull and 30 51 4153 for the tusks

Purple pufferfish 60 64 9450

Turquoise shark 60 64 9470

Purple octopus 60 64 9490

Sea turtle in red 60 64 9520

Yellow pufferfish 60 64 9540

Teal fish 60 64 9560

Penguin in dark grey instead of black 60 66 0280

Also included in the set is the black penguin and group of fish previously seen.

Going back in time briefly to pick up set 70537 Aquarium large set with the penguin habitat, there are previously unmentioned new variants.

This is the set the brown sea lion is from and it became available as an Amazon exclusive in the US so I was able to finally get it.

The sea lion

Newly found in the set is a yellow seahorse that is a new regular yellow color 30 09 4313

compared to the other yellows, new one is the center one

also in the set was a new yellow coral, 30 09 4253

similarly it is a regular yellow, not as light as the previous one and no iridescent quality

The only other new info was individual part numbers for the baby penguins. Previously they were only sold in a group of 4. The head up version is 30 46 3972 and the regular version is 30 46 3082

The other large area of additions this time is the Wiltopia Amazon theme. I have all but the jaguar sets now, so here are the other new animals.

The new anteaters

The manatees

the howler monkeys

The new hummingbird mold in all three colors so far

In variants there is the frog in Wiltopia red

new color of monkey

A big surprise, the striped snake I had assumed was white is actually glow in the dark yellow semi-transparent. The glow in the dark factor was really unexpected.

tortoise baby in lighter tones

the two new lizards, the blue-green is a new color, the dark green is new with the stripe print

Dragonfly is not transparent but instead solid light blue

Butterfly in a nice blue

The heron in pink and grey

the songbird in a Wiltopia blue

the nicely painted grey owl

after decades finally a new toucan variation, and beautifully done

and really beautiful paint job on the Hoatzin variant of the old peacock mold

and finally, I acquired the Wiltopia Advent Calendar and here are my own photos of all the new variation animals in it.

As is the case with most Wiltopia, the darker colors are lighter in tone while the whites are darker.

That was it for the latest updates. I've just received a big box from my dear friend Daniela in Germany with items I ordered over the last year from the German market. There will be another big update from that in a week or two. It will include store exclusives, magazine animals, and items from 2021 that never made it to the US market. There will also be a few I have picked up through parts orders rather than getting large sets. I hope everyone has a happy and peaceful beginning to the winter holidays.

Thanks for reading - Tiermann
