The rare Bullyland Ichthyosaurus figures are back into stock at Everything Dinosaur. These marine reptile models have been in and out of production for the best part of a decade.  We know how keen model collectors are to obtain rare figures, so we do our best to stock these difficult to find models.

Bullyland was formed in 1973. The company originated from the small town of Spraitbach near Stuttgart in Germany. The proximity to the Stuttgart Natural History Museum (Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde), led to a collaboration between the company and palaeontologists on a range of prehistoric animal figures.  Bullyland is perhaps more famous for its movie figures.  However, the company has always manufactured a small range of prehistoric animal models.

Bullyland Ichthyosaurus Figures

The Bullyland Ichthyosaurus figures arrived last week (July 2024).  The models measure 21.5 cm in length and the manufacturer has declared a scale of 1:60.  In the Bullyland range, there are several articulated figures.  However, the Ichthyosaurus figure has no points of articulation.  Many of the prehistoric animals in this range are hand-painted and the Bullyland Ichthyosaurus has been praised for its colour scheme.

Models of Marine Reptiles

A spokesperson from Everything Dinosaur welcomed the Bullyland Ichthyosaurus figures back into stock. The spokesperson added:

“It is always a pleasure to bring into stock rare or difficult to obtain figures.  We know how keen collectors are to get every model in a range and the Bullyland Ichthyosaurus has been hard to find.  At Everything Dinosaur, we listened to our customers, and we have set about bringing this figure back and making it available.”

It was explained that the Bullyland range included other marine reptile models.  Currently, a Liopleurodon and an Elasmosaurus were part of this German range of figures.
