Three new spiders from Bullyland 2017 :-D

I am delighted to show you these three  


First the  Whiteknee Tarantuala  
He has item no 68457, and he is 9,3 cm long.


Perhaps his knees could have been more white, but I like hos looks


Take a close look at his belly : no brand marking, - he is an early test model !
And there is more...


Yes ! His legs can move  


Look, he can  tip-toe  



He can even stand on his hind legs  


Here comes the little Velvet spider, also called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eresus_sandaliatus]Ladybird spider[/url] for a good reason
He has item no 68458, and is 7 cm wide.


As the females are completely black, there is no dount that this is a male


Again : No brand mark  


Doesn't he have a cute face ?  




Funny mustache, isn't it ?  


Last, the gorgeous Blue Ornamenal Spider, Poecilotheria metallica  
Item no 68459, and 9,5 cm.


If I didn't have the internet, I would never have believed that such a colour spider exists  




This guy is properly marked :


Aren't you happy that you are not a fly, when you look into his eyes ?    


Look at those fangs ( I suppose they are fangs of some kind ? )


Come closer, said the spider    


Thanks for watching  

Itsy Bitsy Spider ...
They are great looking Susanne.
I really like all details, the colors , the dynamic poses and also the movable legs of the first one.
I think I will also get them :) ...because of your great presentation with wonderful photos
Thank you for that :)

I'm not the biggest fan of spiders, but I don't mind them so much in toy form. Great new additions, and I love the posable one actually, unique idea for an animal with so many legs.

Arrrgh, but jice figurines :)

Buuh !

This is much more relevant than we could think at first. Maybe we don't have the real perception how important are these releases to this hobby, much probably because spiders are not our collecting target, but it is as relevant as CollectA presenting a saiga antelope and a bongo to the market.
All these 3 species are new to the market and the velvet spider, as Blaine pointed, is new up to the family level!
I love them and I was really waiting to see your great pictures, Susanne!

I really like these models, and find the articulated legs a wonderful idea. That pink knee looks ready to climb out onto my hand! Too bad Bullyland isn't locally available.

Very relevant comment

Thankyou very much, - I have been at loss how to add a completely new family

Thanks, I added just a species page and linked it directly from spiders page once that's the only species of this family with a known toy. Though, I can add an additional level with a family page linking to the species.
I will also add the species pages to other two species as soon as I can. That section is very hard to work and it was, not long ago, just a page with all spider figures merged in a single page. Hurray for Bullyland that keep TAI editors working hardly.
