No,they don't.
Not that I actually like those figures, but if we count Jurassic Park figures they should probably also be counted.

You really shouldn't start a thread like this without any information, I'm sure a lot of us clicked here thinking we would see some Bullyland releases. There are 100 ways you could have worded your thread title that would have related better to your question.

Added a question mark to the the title..maybe that will help. ;)

Thanks for that! This thread would have made me pretty sad without that addition.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

I really hope there will be new Bullyland products soon. I'd hate to see Bully go under while Schleich gets praised the world over despite offering feeble figures. Bully's figures may not be perfect, they're usually more daring and interesting than Schleich's.

I feel the same. I really like Bullyland. They do take on interesting and obscure animals from time-to-time. Their Trassic fauna alone! And I actually quite like their style even though their models are often less-than-perfect. That's why when I saw this thread title I got so damn excited only to be let down.

Agreed--from what is on STS, there are 4 or 5 modern animals, and no prehistoric ones. It appears that the newest owner of Bullyland is more interested in Licensed products, and the animals are a distant second priority.

That's a shame. I feel like if they haven't given up on the prehistoric line they're at least traveling down that road, much like Carnegie in its later years.

yes Bullyland may not be perfect but their figures have charm unlike the other German brand, dino-wise...

I have to echo the sentiments of others, I have found quite a fondness for Bullyland's prehistoric figures, while they are similar to schleich in terms of detailing and some aspects of stylization, I find them to be far more appealing aesthetically, and not as obnoxiously cartoony. So it would be great to see more from them this year...

Can you give us some details about the modern animal releases?

A Red Panda (not bad), a silverback gorilla, Broan bear and Brown bear cub (all not great).

Does Bully have a JP/JW license ?

Looking at their site, it appears that they only have licenses for animated properties (which, in terms of toys, would be easier to reproduce). The only variant is the live-action Cinderella figures.

Overall, it appears that Bullyand is working for Disney now. Ièm guessing that one license alone cost enough!

I doubt it, I was referring to Hasbro.

I wish they had expanded their Prehistoric animal line...
