A Shields update with the fall releases and some more plain shields from Bob.

In regular sets there are two new sets in the Knights theme with new shields, 72210 and 72213. Both are in the most recent heraldry styles of Lion Head with Fleur de Lis and Yellow Dragon. There is also a target that seems to be on a round shield. I am not sure about the lion pointed heater, it has no Fleur de Lis on it lilke all the others in that heraldry have. It may be an error.

There are two new German exclusive sets for Smyths Toys of a jousting tournament set 71928, and a ship 71926. The ship has a black kite shield, while the tournamernt has two double concave and two small heaters plus a pointed heater. The images on this one so far are small, that will be updated when better views are available. The set also includes a new horse coat. The theme is again the new Knights Heraldry.

Some more plain shields from Bob, from other sources and not out of a set directly.

And a new comparison of the oldest shield showing both orange and red versions on a clear background.

That's it for shields for the moment. The new Knights theme is turning out to have a lot of great shields released.

The next update will be the WWE Figures with Series 30 following in the next month.

With the release of the fall catalog, the Animobil pages have been updated with the rest of the animals from the second half year. There were also some new in person photos added this update. Additionally many of the fall sets already have box back photos online, and the summer Farm theme surprisingly has instructions online. Still no instructions for Mermaids or Zoo.

In the fall releases is an expansion of the current Fairy and Unicorn theme. Included in it are some more of the most recent style of unicorn plus a new color of frog and a reuse of the Ayuma owl in new colors.

Also in new unicorn variations there is a Junior set with a new color

In the Knights theme there is a new version of dragon baby, in grey. Note that this one is a new head mold as the mouth is open and can hold a flame. The last version like this had a closed mouth.

There is also a new lion that comes with armor.

For Figures series 30 in the Girls there is a husky puppy again, this time in plain white. Like the last husky puppy, it is the German Shepherd puppy standing mold being used.

Found at Amclicks, but not seen in the catalog, there is a Halloween series. It includes a witch with a black fluffy cat, and a ghost with a large spider in turquoise.

Also seen at Amclicks and elsewhere are three new Greek History sets. Set 72179 includes a grey version of the sea snake, and a golden cow.

The farm series instructions are mostly online, missing just the rabbits and pigs sets.

A new part number for the standing white spotted cat 30 66 1047 in set 72162

A new number for the brown spotted cow 30 66 4696 in 72163, and the calf 30 66 4686 in 72167. Possibly this is a different brown or white color than previously?

In the sheep set 72169 the white sheep are previous released, the brown Hampshire sheep 30 66 0717 and lamb 30 66 0727 are new.

With the new box back photos a number of the placeholder images have been updated.

Some new animals have arrived in person since the previous Animobil update.

Among them was set 71951 from the Animals and Friends theme. It is the one with the little train. There are no instructions in it. The baby chimpanzee included in that set has a different darker brown color from the previous version. In the group photo it is the baby on the left.

Also in that set is the new leopard kitten 30 64 0299 that also appears in set 71852

Other new in person photo additions

New group photos

That is all for the current update. I have some more photos of plain unpainted shields from Bob to add in a future shield update. Figures series 30 is starting to come out in Europe, and there is a Fi?ures series for the WWE licensed theme that is available in the US with 7 figures. All of those will happen in future updates.
