You should check out the Esociformes page on Toy Animal Wiki

https://toyanimalwiki.mywikis.wiki/wiki/Esociformes

As you can see, there aren't a lot of options. All the figures are by Replica Toy Fish/Toy Fish Factory. They're better than nothing but there's definitely room in the market for better. The Bullyland pike is decent but would be difficult to track down.

The TFF pike and muskie are included in the Northern Angler Collection, available on amazon.

What size are you looking for? Replica Toy Fish made 3" and 6", and the Bullyland is about 4.5"

@Gwangi already listed the TAI but it's incomplete. It doesn't list the Toy Fish Factory models (spiritual repaints of the RTF), nor the small 2" Elastolin. That's about it.

Ironically, RTF was started literally because the owner's son wanted a toy northern pike, and the best that existed were lures for fishing.

Mmmm I'll have a look...
Yijin or that other Japanese/Chinese brand should make one

Can you send pictures please? 6" feels about right

Specifically the bully land one

This is an older photo



Based on the photo, it might be longer than I thought!

Good luck finding one, I think they were discontinued about 15 years ago. eBay Germany will be your best bet

There's also always the plush option. Several plush Esox out there. It's amazing how much more diverse plush toys are than plastic ones.

I'd forgotten about those. We've got at least one around the house somewhere!
