Three spiders only. Not for me whatsoever but I am sure some of you will love these. Given the types of specialist species chosen here it may be a new direction for Bullyland to create the weird and unusual:

White Knee Tarantula (68457)

WONDERFUL

The first one is very similar to Orange-kneed tarantula they already have, - but the two others are completely new bounce

Bullyland had a tradition for a wide range of insects, - I am happy that they take it up again Very Happy

No insects actually but I love the chosen species! Blaine and other bug collectors will surely feel happy about that!
Thanks Numaan for sharing the information with us! :)

that 'velvet spider' is Eresus kollari, the FIRST figure (to my knowledge) of the family Eresidae. And all three are the first figures of these species. Very exciting indeed!

I found out that this spider is also found in Denmark. It is also called "Ladybird spider" , very appropriate Very Happy

There are a few facts about them HERE

It is an endangered species, mainly due to habitat loss Sad

Now I got interested Shocked

The "blue Ornament Tarantula" is a Blue Ornamental Tarantula, and is critically endangered study

It lives only in a small area in India.

The Whiteknee tarantuala seems to be a popular pet Shocked

Very nice spiders, especially the top one. They seem to be excelling at these.

Cute! Yet it seems they are using old molds to make those new species!

Here is a couple of pictures of the old ones that look most like them.
As you can see, they are not made from old moulds Very Happy

These two last pictures look like a garden of spiders. Laughing

Nice to know that these are new molds what gives more value to these Bully surprising releases. Very Happy
