Information on Yowies

Can someone give me some info on Yowies, I've seen quite a few on eBay, but I'd like to know where they came from, are they still being made and are some of the figurines rare?

I know that:
the Uk Yowies came in 2 series and were sold with chocolate figurines
the chocolate tasted bad(many people say that)and they weren't very cheap
they are no longer produced

the Australian Yowies were not solid, rather puzzles
they came with chocolate too, but there were many many series and some are very rare

Hope this helps!

Thank you Mihnea!! I just bought a load of Yowies really cheap, I quite like them. I'll post some pictures..

Yep, they were monster like shaped chocolate made by Cadbury. The chocolate was terrible !!!

The little yowies were in a plastic case, a bit like Kinder egg toys, and came with a little list of other yowies to collect.
The first series had 50 models. I have 40 and am still looking for the other 10.

The "monsters" were also available in model form, I believe there were 5 or 6 of them, and they were also pencil toppers or pencil grabbers. I have three of these but they are funny looking things

I look forward to seeing your models :)

I think you have already been told most of what there is to know, but perhaps you can find more here :

They are awfully nice

Thanks Rio and Susanne! I'd forgotten about your's Susanne, thank you for posting it again, I love the pelican

Here are mine, my favourites are the Lemur and Pangolin I have doubles of some of them, which I don't want

They are adorable !
I'm guessing that they are either the second series or a different one. I haven't seen any of those ones before :)

They are adorable, Harriet

I have the zebra, orangutan and lemur, - all the others are new to me...waw! a Pangolin and an ardwak

Thank you!! I really like them, the Orangutan is so cute, I took a funny picture of the baboon and him

Oh I didn't see that

I also have some that I got in a trade with Steve(Stecal), mostly from the first series, but also from the second!
They are very nice! But I don't have that splendid aardvark and pangolin!

Steve is bidding on the pangoline and some others for me now, - isn`t he a yowie - friend

Shortest message ever

I was agreeing with the fact that Steve is a very kind person!
I wish I could get the complete series from UK Yowies, but there are so many priorities it is very hard to fall for the temptation!

By the way,which ones do you have double,Harriet? We could fix a trade!

You need a skink?

I have lots of Australian Yowies (Season 2-4) for exchange. If you have an extra, I'd be interested in the monarch butterfly! Please email me for fastest response (not private message).
