My thoughts:

Dilophosaurus: Meh, looks like they stole the colour scheme from papo but atleast I predicted something and got it right
Dimetrodon: A papo rip-off clearly but they will go nice together
Dunkleosteus: Best figure this year, this years pentaceratops/kentrosaurus
: I'm waiting for more info on the species for this one
Scenery Packs: Looking ok so far, 2 recolours and the 2 new figures look promising
Minis: I'm a little upset to see recolours for this line since I'm quite fond of collecting all minis but it's nice to see schleich branchng out into aquatic creatures which hopefully may come later in 2016

This year for Schleich was let down compared too last year but definatly not their worse *cough*2014*cough*

[Shonisaurus]

Then I would suggest that the Dilophosaurus is even worse than Papo.

It reminds me of bad times Dilophosaurus Collecta.

The dimetrodon is a mere plagiarism dimetrodon Papo, is not the worst figures but not anything to saved.

As for the primitive dinosaur Herrerasaurus? ... it does not convince me. It has too many seams in its articulated jaw.

The dunkleosteus is the only one who is saved but it is better than Safari.

Moreover the dimorphodon and Saichania reissues are sold with painting and giganotosaurus therizinosaurus. I said another lost year by Schleich.

Thanks for creating this thread. Also Sauroid, who created a duplicate (without images) which I deleted.

I'm not keen on any of these new Schleichs. The Dunkleosteus is the best of the group, the Dimorphodon is interesting, and I'm pleased to see a few more mini marine reptiles added to Schleich's line.

[Silvanusaurus]

I completely understand why everyone dislikes these... but I actually quite like them, more so than alot of previous Schleichs.
However, that Baryonyx is very disappointing, i was hoping it would be a larger scale. Its a Baryonyx, right?

I believe it's baryonyx and I quite like them too

[terrorchicken]

the dimorphodon is cute and I like the little ichthyosaur. Thats it. That dilophosaurus looks more like one of those ugly dragons theyve been releasing..

oh and the dunkleosteus, that one's good too,  its probably the best b/c its NOT a dinosaur...

[Gwangi]

The Dunkleosteus is fantastic but probably the only Schleich I'll get for 2016. The mystery theropod piques my interest, especially if it is Herrerasaurus but I could care less about the rest of them.

[sauroid]

copy/pasted my opinion from the other thread:
Schleich tried to copy Papo's Dimetrodon but failed miserably. the proportion is just awful.
and what is that bipedal grey creature supposed to be? an Eotyrannus, Smok, Herrerasaurus?
the Dilophosaurus looks like a twisted hybrid of the Papo and the old CollectA.
the Dunkleosteus looks too much like a fossil (if only they painted it to look more "alive")
i'm willing to give the grey bipedal one, Dimorphodon and the Ichthyosaur some consideration because they look decent/interesting enough.

[Roselaar]

Oh wow, ripping off Papo. Just shows which is the better company. And capitalizing on JW with a Dimorphodon and Mosasaurus.

Most of these are awful. The only one that kinda interests me is the Dunkleosteus. Not because it's pretty, but because it's something new for Schleich. The company tends to recycle its species a lot after all. Just how many different Giganotosaurus and Saichania did they make again? And 2016 doesn't prove different.

[Halichoeres]

Like I said in the other thread, the Dunkleosteus is not terrible (I actually think the sturgeon-style scutes on the side are an interesting touch, though I have no idea whether there is evidence for or against something like that). I will probably get it if only because there are so few fish figures around, but it will play third fiddle to the Safari and Favorite.

I think the mini ichthyosaur is ugly-cute, like a Boston terrier or something.

And the Herrerasaurus (if that's what it is--the feet make me think so) is encouraging just because it's from the Triassic and Triassic stuff is so thin on the ground.

The rest is a hard pass.

[Shonisaurus]

However, that Baryonyx is very disappointing, i was hoping it would be a larger scale. Its a Baryonyx, right?

I could not specify if it is a baryonyx, it can also be a suchomimus or irritator.

Moreover I agree with the dimorphodon and mosasaurus Roselaar are horrible.

[DinoToyForum]

So many creatures beginning with 'D'! On this basis I think the unknown theropod is Deinonychus.

[sauroid]

that Ichthyosaur looks vaguely familiar.

[Shonisaurus]

It reminds me of Bullyland at an early painting from my point of view.

We don't want another toe claw crisis we had with the jurassic world figures XD

[Mauro "Raptor86"]

I like the Herrerasaurus! I'll get it!

[PaleoMatt]

I like the Herrerasaurus! I'll get it!

It might not be Herrerasaurus still! But it's our best bet!

[Carnosaur]

Agreed. the Dunkleosteus is a must have. as for the rest
the only one that looks worth while to me is the Herrerasaurus.

[Libraraptor]

They´re all rubbish except of the Dunkleosteus, which I really like. And well the "Herrerasaurus" is, well,okay...
