The old forest-animals

Do you know this ?
To see a handfull of figueres in a catalogue and think :
"Ohh, they are nice ! Maybe I will collect those , there are not very many "

I saw these old Bully-figueres and that is what I thought.



But, hmm, there are actually many figueres on that little page.
And living in a country where almost nobody ever heard about Bully or Bullyland, it turned out to be almost impossible. But SO much fun

After many months I have come this far :


I have only seen these this once:


Others are there all the time, - which does not make me love them less :


These were perhaps the first Bullys I got, many years ago, I love hedgehogs :


Most have been made for many years, and there are both new and old painings






The old ones say BULLY not BULLYLAND on the buttom, and this little old owl has a sticker saying it is handpainted :


The little fox is SO cute. He is not vicious-looking like the later Bullyland-foxes :


The Marmot is not the old one, but he is the only one I have found so far :


The mountain goat (I think it is) was never on Ebay, - and then suddenly it was there several times


Same with the old wild boar, here together with a more recent one


Maybe some day in the far off future I will be able to show you the rest, - the deer, roe, badger, two tiny frogs (not likely) and the funny looking old wolf

But it is not easy. They are to be found in Germany, and I only search on Ebay because my German is not good enough for the other auktions.
And many Germans don`t take PayPal, - or they will not send to Denmark. Some will not even let you bid, - yes, some will not even let you ASK

Never mind, the hunt is almost more fun than the find

Wow Susanne, you nearly have them all, well done for your finds so far!! They're really really lovely

Thank you, Harriet

I am happy you also think they are charming

Very lovely old Bullyland animals. As I looking at the old version fox and compared with latest version of fox. I do realised that how much details been add-on onto new one. But sadly to say the newest fox eyes is too comics or cartoon as compared.

As you know Susanne, I think this series is great! I love forest animals!
But I know that after the raven story you will never more believe in me! I continue thinking that your mountain goat is an ibex!
Congratulations and I hope to see it complete!:)

I am sure you are right - it is an ibex, of course, - you are right

Those are all fantastic, Susanne! You've done a great job of hunting them down. I have a very hard time finding Bullyland as well. No local shops carry them and not so many online shops in USA either. I'm still waiting for someone in USA to get the 2011s.

Thank you Ken and Izzy

Ken, yes, there is something with the eyes on the foxes. But they have REALLY moved some way



Kirstie, - so it is not only here, it is hard to find Bullyland...at leate I am nót alone

Ohhhhhh, you have the new Connemara Pony! I'm so jealous! I want him and that little baby donkey with the carrot SOOOOO bad! Congrats!

Yes, I have her
The new Iceys are definitely no improvement to the old ones, but of course I had to have them. And MPS is a really, really dangerous place to go shopping

But the falconeer and the Connemara, THEY are fabulous! Just as fabulous as they looked in the first pictures that Torben sent

As I wrote in "Schleich", I got a huge box of old stuff . I found the blach wild boar from Schleich, but perhaps even better, - the tiny little Roebuck that belongs to this collection was aso there



Isn`t he cute ?

That was certainly a huge surprise!!! Of course he is cute and I hope you see your series as soon as possible!
Congratulations Susanne Bullylander! :)

Thank you Roger

COngratulations! My favourites are the owls, the rabbits and the jumping horse :)

Great hunting Susanne!
These are nice series, although not as accurate as the later models, but that doesn't matter to me either...
I have 4 of the first picture to, the moose, the marmot, the hedgehog baby's and the hare. :)

Congratulations. I really like this series. You have some really nice ones. Most of them I have never seen. Can't wait to see the rest of them as you get them.

Thankyou Sylvia and Willy and Amy

Yes, I hope to get the rest. But they are so small maybe people do not think about selling them, - just throw them away

But let`s see. I check all bully and bullyland a couple of times a week. It is dangerous, though, there are so many temptations
