bullyland prehistoric mammals (and somebody else) arrived home

News about reediting Bullyland prehistoric mammals was a great surprise for me. The Gomphotherium was one of my favourite figurines, and thanks to that reediting I discovered Mastodonsaurus.

So I decided to make an order, of course with the Mastodonsaurus and the Gomphotherium. The other animals are the anchitherium, the andrewsarchus, the megaloceros and the calicotherium.

I like very much the Gomphotherium. It have a little bit vintage look (I think it happens with a lot of Bullyland figures :) ), the painting is good enough, and the scale is fine



I had a lot of doubths on choosing the Safari andrewsarchus or the Bullyland one. After buying this Bullyland one, and although I think the kayodo one is the best painted, I think I will buy the Safari one. Or leastwise I will repaint the Bullyland's one.



The calicotherium entered into the list at the last moment, and I'm not regretful about it. Maybe i will repaint a little bit the face and some details, but not sure about it yet.



What I'm really regretted is buying the Megaloceros. it's not a good replica. The head is very small, antler are made in a mold separately and is attached above the head. No continuity between the skin of the head and the one between the horns. I think it was not the best choice.



The anchitherium also entered at the last moment, and it's a very nice model. A little ancient horse :)



And finally, the last known figure and the best one, the mastodonsaurus. A masterpiece. Enjoy it :)

Great Catch

All the way,,my kind of animal figures

good choice

mine are on the way to holland,,

Arrrfgh! Jealous! Congrats, you lucky lucky thing. *craves chalicothere and andrewsarchus*

CONGRATULATIONS, Joan

I LOVE them all , - the giant deer also.
Hmm, but perhaps you are right, Andrew is a bit clumsy
However he was one of my very first prehistoric animals, so he is very dear to me

I really like the calicotherium. Congratulations Joan

Joan, it is so nice that we can have some of them now. I was lucky enough to receive some of the original ones from Susanne and Kiki. I love that series.
You are right about megaloceros but it is also the hardest figure of all in terms of production. Bully was brave enough to make such a hard making figure. Honestly, watching your pictures, the less interesting looks the andrewsarchus but all of them are great. Congratulations!

Congratulation Joan for this great batch.

The andrewsarchus is a bit odd indeed and my point is the SAFARI Ltd is an excellent choice, go for it

Congratulations Joan! Shame about your Megaloceros though, this model couldv'e been very impressive

Big congratulations Joan!! Very nice newcomers!!

Mine arrived with the mail

photo's soon

Because I thought the Irish Elk looked bizarre with its small pupils and light color of inside the mouth, I simply repainted it: I painted its whole eyes in black and added fading black in its mouth. It looks more realistic this way.

Thank you for the tip!
I will think about that!

Congratulations on the additions. I will have to think about them, I like the idea of them but am not sure if I like the way they have been done. I do think the mastodonsaurus should find a place in my collection though, it has so much personality.

Great additions! Congrats!
And it's really cool we have an opportinity to add them to our collections now)

Congratulations, why can't most other companies produce phreistoric animals like this?

Congrats Joan! mastodonsaurus is on my wish list too!

I hope the originals will get cheaper,.. And later: more expensive

I love the gomphotherium, but I do feel a little annoyed by the fact its left legs are a little longer than the right legs, which make the animal look limpish when seen in face...

great animals Joan. i love the Irish Elk!
