Beautiful figures! I'm growing to really appreciate Bullyland.



Welcome back, Westie! Hope you had a nice vacation!

Hi, from Westie He is so happy with people greeting him

You are right, Bullyland is different, - the colours of the later ones is not glossy, and they feel lighter and softer than most others.
It takes some time to get used to them.

They position on the market themselves as environmentally friendly, which is fine with me



It means PVC-free and that it will not harm children, - or something like that

Congratulations on your new models !
I am very jealous of your El Santo

Thanks, Rio

I bought him at MPV, - perhaps, if there are several of you in USA who want to buy him, you could go together to save shipping ?

I love El Santo!!

And I also like the breed marking, but I´m not sure it´s well done. El Santo is suposed to be a Rhinelander, a modern warmblood breed (http://www.greenacres-stud.com/rhinelander.htm), whose breed marking is this:

Anyway, the horse is absolutely fantastic!

Hmmm, it looks as if the tool making the mark on mould of the figuere has slipped to the side

Yes! I didin´t know how to say that, thank you :) It´s very similar, but strange.

Congrats on your newest additions Susanne!
Great new stuff!
I have that particular gnu to, it is to grey for an albino, but to grey for a wildebeast to, so a new sub-species i guess...

Great new figurines Susanne!
I specially love the Eohippus, the first ancestor of the horse-family.

This Bullyland gazelle is not easy to define as a species, but a springbuck is far of anyway...
It has the outside looks of a Thompsons gazelle, which stood model for this one i think, but as the colours don't fit, so i named it a Grants gazelle...

The Bullyland Gnu was my first high-class gnu in the collection, bought from the Island of Crete in Greece!

Those meerkats are beautiful! I still don't have them yet, so it's great to see such sharp pictures of them

Thank you ! I am very happy that you find the pictures useful

You are right, the pictures are almost sharp
It must have been perfect weather for taking that sort of pictures, -sometimes I am lucky

Last week I got the older, RED Velociraptor from Bullyland, here he is with his paler friend :


His tail is a little bent from the jurney, but it is slowly straighening out

Here the 3 of them, - funny how different he looks with feathers on


I also got the triceratops :


And last, but not least, the spinophosaurus.
This one was made by Bullyland for the Staatliches Naturhistoriches Museum in Braunschweig.
A team from this museum discovered him in Niger in Africa.as late as in 2009


Perhaps one of dino-experts can tell more about him ?

Uhh, spinophosaurus is niiice

very nice new models,,

you can read a lot in the dinotoys forum about this model,,

martien

Oh, you've found the spinophorosaurus!!! I wanted it a lot some time ago but postages and so lowered my interest! This is a special figure as you know, I confess I love exclusive figures! It is also one of the examples that Bullyland is highly considered for experts, in Germany I think this is one of 4 or more Museum exclusive figures made by Bullyland something not seen often in other brands!
You are really a hard collector and your prehistoric collection is achieving standards that makes many collectors of dinos die of envy!
Also the different velociraptors is a very interesting group, Bullyland updates its prehistoric figures when relevant informations are added to the knowledge of a species! When scientists started talking about feathered dinos like the velociraptor, Bullyland started the project of a updated velo! Some of other brands don't care with it because in some popular tv series, the velociraptor was still represented without feathers and these brands won't start a new project because they are affraid of decreasing in sells!
Bullyland is a serious brand even many collectors don't think so!
Congratulations Susanne!

Thankyou, Roger, my good croc-friend

It was actually you who made me aware of this great figuere
For me it would be an uphill struggle without you, because I still do not know so much about them.

Mihnea and Christophe are our great teachers and history-tellers here, but I would not mind if we had some more dinoes on our forum, showing the new special editions etc.

Thankyou, Martien yes perhaps I should look some more at the dinotoys forum even if I am so fond of our good, little STS-village-forum

Also very nice Dinosaurs!!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou, Andreas

Very nice trio of Bullyland Velocipaptors Susanne!
Great catches i think!

Heeey, the old raptor doesn't have pronated hands! Way to go Bullyland! They're both a lot nicer than I'd expected - I must admit I've never really looked at/for this mold because the Bakkerific deinonychus overshadows them somewhat, but they're really pretty dang good for their time. I have the feathered version and love him (even if he has issues of his own).

Thankyou, Willy

And thanks, Sumo, - it is always fun to read your dino-comments
Only, - what does pronated mean
Neither Google Translate nor my old, faithful dictionary can help

It's the positioning of the hands. Pronated means palm down -"kangaroo hands". We now know all theropods (and most other dinosaurs) had their hands angled so that the palms were facing one another - sadly, few models get that right.

Ohh, - thankyou, that WAS a difficult word

Congratulation Susanne

Here is one turning a palm OUT


(Ceratosaurus from AAA )

I hope you are not sick and tired of my bullylands

Well, - I am not, and I love showing them to you, so thankyou for your patience

With some help from Mihnea I got four retired dinoes from a seller in USA.



The perfect perfect batrachotomus to the left here. Much nicer than the one I had.


Grrrrr


A dimetrodon with red "sail"


A perfect plateosaurus on his hind legs says hello to the ones who already lived here.


And a wonderful deionychus


Of course Mummi had to participate in the picture-taking


It always makes me extremely, unusually happy to get a new dino, probably because I have not collected them for very long.
Thankyou for your help finding these great figueres, Mihnea

They're fantastic Susanne , of course we never get tired of seeing your Bullylands!! far from it, I get excited every time I see a new topic from you

Hurray for Mihnea!
I love the new colour of the batrachotomus! And the dimetrodon is so great, have you seen this guy's sculpture of one http://creative-beast.com/?page_id=115&album=6&gallery=46 impressive isn't it?
