Susanne's additions for 2014

Some time ago, I got this AAA-penguin from Anna.
A bit later I was fortunate to get two small ones, - mini-versions, they are not chickens even if they have bigger heads, as you all know

But when I put them on a shelf together, I thought, - I have ssen this before. And, yes ! They were at the front page of an old Bullyland catalogue

Looking more closely inside the catalogue I found A LOT of the AAA-figueres, also (most of ? ) the AAA-sea animals that we usually believe are Schleich  

So now I will try to scan the whole catalogue for you, dear friends. It is very interesting, in my humble opinion  

See later under "Catalogues", please  

So does that mean that AAA's are copies of Bullyland, or vise-versa?

As I understand it, AAA made those for both Schleich and Bullyland.
They were sold by Schleich and Bullyland with the AAA-stamp
But I never knew that Bullyland dit it also

oohhhhhh. I see!

So does that mean your penguins are Bullylands, or did AAA make them later under their own brand?

Again, I learn something new here everyday! Thank you! :)

Thank you, too, Kristie

I don`t know if AAA also sold them beside or later, - maybe somebody else does ???

Bullyland bought these animals in the 90´s from AAA and sold them under own label with own item numbers but they are all marked AAA.

Here you can find most of the wild animals (with a small scan from the Bullyland catalogue)

AAA Wild animals sold from Bullyland

and here some nice birds from AAA, also sold from Bullyland

Endangered animals - Birds

Schleich had only the sea animals in their own programm

Sea animals small

Sea animals large

Sea animals extra large

Fanta-bulous

Thank you, Torben! But I can't read it. lol.

I have the AAA adult penguin and chick standing pose, the difference with my chick is, he has a ring in the top of his head.

So he may have been a key-ring ?

Yes I guess so, I've never seen another like him

Ha, interesting You realy learn new stuff here al the time

Oh and Torben, those birds are just AMAZING!

Please tell me there are some place you can still buy them

Some weeks ago I found out that Bullyland also made a Condor. I would very much like to have one, and mentioned it to the smartest croc I know : Roger

Of course he found one on the net, - in Tenerife !
Now my knowledge of the Spanish language is NIL!
So I must admit it was very exiting to see what I had actually bought

The Condor was easy to understand. And he did not disapoint me.

I did not have this owl, so he came along.
I wonder if it is an old version, he does not look like the one in the catalogue, - does anyone have a newer one ?

I have also gotten a Puffin this week, not from Spain, but I like him very much, so here he is

The Spanish compagny also had these gorgeous ostriches, made by AAA, and sold by Bully :

There were some very nice AAAs, so because I don`t understand Spanish, some more came along, too

I will post pictures of those later

What an absolutely gorgeous condor! The rest are great too, Bullyland really makes some amazing birds.

Oh wow! They are terrific Susanne, love the Condor, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your other additions too

Thanks Sumo and Harriet

I don't know that croc, is it a retired croc, Susanne???
But I know the happiest croc!

Congratulations for your new additions, I confess my first contact with Bullyland was a huge desapointment, but the birds are magnificent!

Congratulations Susanne! the Condor is beautiful!

Very nice additions! Congrats!

Thank you Roger, Ken and Kristie

Yes, Roger, I also found the Bully(land)s sort of second rate to Schleich for many years.
I had the bulldogs and some of those with 3-in-one (hedgehogs, lambs, chickens, rabbits, swan) and the siamese and poodle many years.
But I liked them anyway, and now I get more and more fond of them. Esp the old ones have a charm completely their own, I think.
AND the birds
