They're called Sylvian Families. They're made by Epoch. There's tons of knockoff brands in burgerland you can get in places like Target, but the standard shops like hlj and amiami have them. Mandarake also has their accessories and such often.

On the back of the box I had it had the Hasbro logo (memory is foggy, might not actually be it)
Would that be a knockoff?

In the US they're called Calico Critters and can be found at Toys R Us and various retailers. They're distributed by International Playthings but they're the same as the Epoch line apart from some availability. Tomy was distributor in the 1980's and they lost the Sylvanian Families trademark in North America, so they rebranded them as Calico Critters.

They've been distributed by various companies outside of Japsn but Hasbro's never been one of them. Are you sure it wasn't Flair?

I think it was the epoch logo since they're both kinda similar and I got a quick glance.

/toy/ have known these Silvannias Families figs for a time, the accessories sets can be used with nendoroids and cu-poches, in some cases they work with figures in 1/12 scale too

Their furniture do go nice with 3"~4" figures.

These guys are really cute but quite pricey IMO. If they weren't I'd have so many, especially cats.
>>6340780
Is this b8? Calico Critters isn't a knockoff, it's just what they're called in the US because of trademark bullshit.

That's good to know! We sell these where I work and they're super cute. They go by Calico Critters here.

Definitely keep an eye on sales with these to lower the high cost; at one point during the holidays one of the cottages ended up going down to about $20 when it was $40 or $50, and sometimes we have buy 1 get 1 a percentage off sale with a rewards card.

There also used to be similar Maple Town figures in the 80s and early 90s based on the anime of the same name. Those were sold under Tonka. Recently I've also seen a line very similar to Calico Critters called Li'l Woodzeez at Target.

I saw a set of 2 babby hamsters with accessories and they went from 13 CAD to 7

I'm so sad I left it on the shelf because I regret it now and almost instantly became obsessed

Woodzeez are made by the Japanese company Battat, possibly better known for their toy dinosaurs. They're not bad toys but the flocking seems to be more prone to rubbing off and they all look like seriously obese Calico Critters.

I have a little father and baby deer, made the dad some cowboy clothes and was going to take pictures of him on a trip to Texas last year, never did. I love these little guys though, if they weren't so expensive I'd love to own some playsets.

Are most male collectors on this thread guys with families? It seems like that is the only justification for collecting Sylvania families.

Has anyone tracked down the giant 24 inch+ bunny that is mainly for shop displays?

Discovered those recently and bought some for my very first Cu-Poche. They're pricey but also adorable so i think I'll try to buy more when I have the money. It also helps that they aren't available in the "normal" toys distributtion here where I live.

those are awesome anon! didi you make those?
Also, they remember me of that north corean propaganda cartoon with the lady fox.

>>6342452
I'd love to try to do that one day.
How is it going anon, do you have any pics?

Also, I was thinking about getting a labrador, a baby rabbit and mod them to make my own Sam & Max figures.

do you guys think it would work?

buying cute items or female figures is totally gay. Straight men buy male action figures with big muscles.

I ran into these at a gattachpon place, it was a Sylvanian Families pastries shop accessories set (Tragically, I didn't get the bunny shaped bread). They're actually nicely sized for figmas.

Britbong here, my sister used to love these things. We actually used to play with them together. They were awesome and ridiculously well made but they were pretty expensive (like £15 for a family of 4 back in 2005, so probably even more expensive now). They were comfy as fuck though.

Also, without them we would be bereft of Forest Fr1ends.

The furniture works to some extent, the problem is that the seats have short legs and wide bases due to how the furry figures sit in a L-configuration. The accessories are oversized for 1/18 I believe.

To make them seem like less of a toy and more of a colectors item is the impression I got.
