This should be with Novelties 2023: they are images of the trade catalogue that was released today.

Yes, they should - they weren't?     (I also don't know how I changed the post title to "!?" - I mean, I know we CAN change the titles, but I don't remember ever doing so.. on purpose  )  I'm confused.

I add the pic of the offending centaur 71235 (offending to Tahra – I'm happy with him because I take my PM straight without any extraneous material. That does not mean that Tahra's centaurs aren't great: they are. It's just me and my inhibitions).

Someone pointed out (correctly) that it's a deer body, not a horse. Which doesn't change the bad (for me) proportion. I think that part looks completely unnatural (yes, cause centaurs are completely natural!) - FAR too tall. That being would topple. Gorgeous printing and wings though..

And the dino rise have that winged dino - probably a different color from the current one in the mine, I assume..

That Asterix house is gorgeous, a must have

Aren’t dragons mythological fire breathing ? Why the fire shooting cannon

No, but it may not work if you are not in that group? Gods know.

Not a theme I'm into, but interesting that the new farm is also '80% sustainable materials'. The cows appear to have felting/fabric patches on them. The self-service farm shop vending machine is cute, and I've seen similar set ups around.

2CV as the latest car - cute but the range is ever growing! The figures with it look cute. Ferrari too, which I'm indifferent too.

Is the band a repackage of Everdreamers stuff?

With the farm being in the sustainable line it means all the animals will be new variations. A couple new horses too I think. The vending machine for the juice bottles was in the zoo theme last year, good reuse of it.
The flying dino Tahra mentions is a Dimorphodon. All of the dinos except maybe the velociraptor are new colors but no additional new molds that release. Only new animal molds in this catalog are the Amazon dolphin and the sloth. That calf in the farm set looks different to me, maybe a new mold there but hard to tell from the one image.
