YOLANDA ! Is it a new brand? And what species is it?

So, how much was the shipping all together?

Depends on various factors (weight, package dimensions, content price declared -> possibly VAT at foreign customs), when I calculated total costs per figure, I got about USD 7. Note: I ordered smaller bird figures.

By chance I found this ostrich made by Yolanda. Previously, Yolanda was an unknown brand for me.
In my collection I only have the ostrichs made by AAA. But Yolanda-ostrich looks the same!


Here it is, Yolanda ostrich.

Now together with ostrichs from AAA.

Did AAA made ​​the figure? I had a look at STS and here is the answer. It seems, AAA had made the same figures for Yolanda, but some of the
birds you can see here, AAA had made also for Bullyland.


Once upon a time.. in 2010 ... our Admin Torben has posted these picture from a little catalog with many figures from Yolanda.

I have made some investigation about Yolanda. Here is my result:
Yolanda was a producer from comic figures in the 80´and 90´. It seems they are fused with Comansi. Comansi is how i know no producer, only a distributor. The courious is that Comansi is a official partner from "Bullyland"
I found 2 catalogs from Comansi - Yolanda. I don´t know from which year.
In the catalogs are very much animals, but all look familiar to me. Nearly all of them are by brand AAA.

Very interesting find Yvette!

Wonderful find, I have the same Ostrich stamped AAA, I guess that AAA sold a lot of licenses and moulds around the world. You could find them under bullyland, Yolanda and other stamps. Sometimes they slightly change the colours in the passage.

Yolanda, in which country was it located?

Robert, I am not sure - but perhaps Portugal ?   I think, Roger knows more about this brand.  

Great and interesting catch!

I need to make a little entry about Yolanda on Toy Animal Wiki. It is a Spanish brand that was bought by Comansi.
It is still possible to find Yolanda figures being sold in Portugal and they are all repainted AAA molds!
Comansi is a old Spanish brand with some interesting vintage figures but I don't know too much about them.

Yvette, thanks for showing your ostrich that has the interesting point of being a female and also for bringing back that catalogue page.
I don't have already the deer that started this thread but I have a right whale, I only know it is a Yolanda figure because it has a Yolanda tag. It is marked AAA right whale made in China as the regular AAA figure.

So actually some of them are just rebranded, without sostitutive markings, interesting

I have some 1992 monochrome Jurassic park from Yolanda.
They are quite difficult to photo, specially so with phone.

I didn't know them, thanks for sharing!

I have old Bulldog figurine made by Yolanda. It's about same size as schleich westie and made of rubbery material.
