The trope is either that the bullfighter is
supposed to chase the bull around, or drag him around, depending on the polarity
of the magnets, but actually they do nothing and I know why; both magnets have
lost their magnetism!
There are two versions, unmarked on the
left of each pair and marked Hong Kong on figure and cloth (right-hand), but
these two - who both have their magnets clearly visible - don’t affect each
other nor a needle I tried them on.
The magnetic material is that rubberised
sheet used for travel-chess and draughts sets back in the 1970's and some early
fridge magnets, which you may have discovered are also starting to fall off and
not go back on!
As a result of this loss of magic-power, and
because the bull is two firmly-glued halves, I can't even say with certainty if there is a magnet in it, whether it's toward the front or to the rear
or - therefore - even if it's the correct animal! It came with the marked man,
and is equally well-marked so I'm confident enough in myself, but without packaging (empirical evidence!) you'll have
to judge your own call from the pathetically non-magnetic evidence!
Might I be able to 're-charge' it/them with a really big magnet? Airfix Guardsman scaler
