Dinosaur History Comes Alive With Bullyland

Dinosaur history is brought to life across the eons by Bullyland.

Bullyland has created a Dinosaur toys line-up ranging from
Ammonites, Belemnites and Trilobites to
feathered Velociraptors.








The entire range of Dinosaur history and pre-history, from the Devonian to the Cretaceous, can be held in your hands.

Bullyland was founded in Spraitbach, Germany in the early 1970s and is a leader in the production of toxic-free plastic figures. In 1998 Bullyland opened a museum in Spraitbach to showcase their production.

What also makes these unique among Dinosaur toys today is that they are "Made in Germany" and NOT in China.

Bullyland's Early Entry in Dinosaur Toys

These early Bullyland Dinosaur Toys have "Bully" and "W. Germany" embossed on them. This leads me to guess that they were produced when there was an "East" Germany, sometime prior to October, 1990. Given their general design these seem to date from the 1970s. They are a soft plastic and not suitable for small children due to how easily small pieces can be bitten off and swallowed.

They have become obsolete as Dinosaur toys and are, today, perhaps only of value as collectibles... or lunch.

Bullyland Goes Contemporary

By the early 1990s Bullyland presented this series of much more realistic looking little figures (the wingspan of the Pteranodon is 4.5"). These are actually quite cute Dinosaurs and have a lot of expression. Also at this time Bullyland began putting the Dinosaur name on each figure and the country of origin now reads "Germany".

As the 90s proceeded so did Bullyland, coming out with their Museum Line.


Including some very nice early ocean life including pre-cursors to the great sea reptiles.

Bullyland Soft-Play

I would like to thank Bullyland for their contributions and support in the creation of this site.

I have every intention of adding new (and new to me) Bullyland Dinosaur toys to my collection. I even like the feathered Velociraptor although my wife (and seemingly nearly everyone else) thinks it is ugly or at least annoying.

On the other hand she loves the "soft play" figures and immediately hugged them up. These "soft-play' figures are large (14-21 inches) and remindful of the great Kenner Dinosaur toys made for the Jurasssic Park movie in the early 1990s.
