Royal Doulton Bunnykins Figurines have been in continuous prouction since 1939. At that time only six figurines were produced, as all factories were closed for the duration of World War II. These six figurines have become very rare. Following the war, production did not restart until Royal Doulton purchased the Beswick factory in 1969. After this, Bunnykins were numbered with the prefix DB and are still produced to this day.
