So did I finally get a Bullyland Archaeopteryx? ... I got two! ;D One was going to be for repainting, but guess what? Turns out one's a variation! Don't know if you can make it out, but the left one's tag is marked Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart, the other one says Naturhistorische Gesellschaft, Nürnberg.  The Nürnberger has a red crest and red tips on the tail and wings.  Not having seen the regular version I can't say for sure which is the variation, though it seems likely the "Nürnberg specimen" is the one simply because it looks like an enhanced version of the other one. |

Now you just need the later-released green one!
And I checked my blue one--it does not have the little red highlights, so that must have been added later.
Given the Procynosuchus and Spinophorosaurus, it makes you wonder what else Bullyland has done as 'special' figures that no one know about. I am thinking we will need our friends in Europe to check their museums, because that's where they seem most likely to appear.

Procynosuchus and Spinophorosaurus were the only animals Bullyland exclusively released for single museums (Korbach and Braunschweig). |

Wasn't it released for Stuttgart museum, since the most complete paratypothorax skeletton is staged there? |

The whole Bullyland prehistoric museum line was done in conjunction with the Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde in Stuttgart, so that's something different from an exclusive/special release for a museum. Must say I like the Nürnberg version with the red dots - I also checked mine but it's the plain old Stuttgart version  |
