The Shields pages have been updated with the new shields from the first 2026 catalogs.

First though is this Antex shield from an unknown set number, thanks to Bob again for sharing it

There is one shield from the next Girls Figures set 72028

The remaining shields are from the refresh of the Knight theme. The two factions are Gold/Yellow dragon, and Lion/Fleur de Lis.

There is also a new caparisoned knight for each faction, very nice to see.

That's it for this week's update. Hopefully I will finally get caught up on the Figures pages next.

The final animal for the catalogs in a large wyvern with a new head shape in red and black

As mentioned, there may be a few more with new part numbers that will be found as instructions come out or sets are seen in person.

A big photo update to Animobil animal pages. I have caught up with the 2025 animals I had in hand. There are a few new animals added to the list this time.

First up is the female goat in Special Plus 71759, it is a new color/plastic variant of the chestnut female.

Seen below as 3 with the first and second version of the same color

Also from the Special Plus line is a very dark brown teddy bear from the Santa set 71883

The part number for it is believed to be 30 08 6755

Next is from set 71800 where the light tan laying rabbit is a new color. It is probably the same as what is in set 71838 and is on that page for now, we will see when I can compare them.

Lastly there is a new number for the herring fish, 30 21 0914 from the set 72021 an exclusive Carrefour set from France. It is available from the parts department in Germany, so I have ordered it to compare to the others but it will be months before I get it here. Thanks to Gaetan for the part numbers above and for some others added into the site this update.

There is a new color variant of the small wyvern 3 green found in a 6836 egg set by Rafael. A brighter green than seen previously

The rest of this update was adding photos of animals I got in the last few months.

Dinosaurs theme

The Junior sets including the Advent Calendar 71777

Magazine Unicorn

The really big shark from the pirate theme

Dolphins and jellyfish from Mermaids

Emma from set 71999

Pony and songbird from the Horses of Waterfall 2025 Advent Calendar

Horse from 71800

And, finally, some group photos

That's it for this update. The first half year catalogs are online, so the next update will feature what I see new in those. I also still have the last Figures series to take photos of. That will be coming about the time the next series is released in Europe, at the rate things have been going for me this last year.

Happy New Year
