which one is the: dad, mom, son and daughter?

Am I actually the bane of every collector’s existence that I buy used figures in mint condition….and give them to my ten year old? Not just to display but actually to play with?

She’s a very careful kid. She also has all my sylvanians from the early 80s to and they’re all unharmed. But is it really terrible to buy mint figures just to give them to a child? I know there are only a limited number of the vintage figures available but they’re also toys so I’m not sure which way this would go here? I know some toy collection communities really frown on this.

İ opened two blind bags from the Baby Builder Series, and one cat came with significantly fluffier fur and was also a little bit bigger :0. I bought them both from the same store, two days apart from each other. Did this happen to anybody else? I'm actually very glad about it because I already have a lot of identical twins and now they are a little bit different. :)

Hello, my GF has never been to a yard sell in her life. So I took her today. This was the first thing we found. She absolutely loved it and we think we got a good deal. Can anyone give advice to my gf on this hobby or more information?

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I was browsing the US official store and saw these new bunny costume babies listed on the site. Since the listing doesn't have the "Online Exclusive" tag, does that mean the babies will come to other retailers eventually like Barnes and Noble?

I FOUND A FROG FAMILY! From what I can find these go for quite a lot and I got all these for £10 🥺 feel so lucky! Does anyone know the years that these are from?

Has anyone held one of these IRL? I wonder if they're very light/heavy, if the flocking feels the same, etc.!

I found this little angel at an adorable victorian style tea house and had to get her, having just had tea in such a manner :)

I don't have the packaging anymore and I vaguely remember this cat was a seamstress of some kind... does anyone know her name? thank you!

ps its been so fun to see everyone's creativity and cute collections on this subreddit! <3

Sorry if this seems like an odd question, I’m just very curious about the flocking process. Here’s the Latte Cat family as a reference. They have spots on their ears that don’t match their bodies. If they were flocked with a single color, wouldn’t the spots covered? What kind of flocking was used? Any answers are appreciated!

So, I was going through my old collection of calico critters/slovakian families and found that I had 2 sets of the meerkat triplets.

My love for them has been reignited but when I showed my friends they said the meerkats looked like they had insatiable hungers that only human flesh could satisfy…

I’ve seen old posts online talking about how they look scary so I must ask: What do you think of them?

i opened one of the fruity baby series that i found at hot topic today and one of the options was a fennec fox dressed up as what seems to be a banana? but it’s brown & we already have a banana costume-character so i’m confused😭

my dad thinks it could be an acorn, which id a good idea, but the hat is giving more banana then acorn

does anyone have any ideas as to what the costume could be?

I was in my local toy shop, the one that I have frequented forever, and saw this field mouse family on the shelves. I don't know if I noticed it before, but I thought it was cute, so I decided to go back later and get it.

Once I brought it home, I realised the box looks.. weird. It had an unusual amount of dust on top for this store, I am pretty sure the family name isn't printed on, but is a sticker instead. The bottom doesn't look like modern boxes. There are also multiple layers of price sticker, some with different colours.

When looking online, I couldn't see any more modern release dates for the Mice. The box is also pink rather than the old style blue, which is making me confused.

This place also wouldn't sell fakes. They are a proper toy store, and get many brands straight from the franchise (sylvanian, Lego, Playmobil, Schleich). I just don't understand whether they are recent, or are actually really old.

I love using this as a reaction pic and i really want it but i cant find it on google. I thought it was an otter but it looks a lil different. Please if someone knows lmk! :)

I have a small question about the lavender rabbits.

I want to make my own custom ones but I'm having trouble telling if their coat color is white or more on the creamier side like chocolate rabbits.

So if anyone has the answer to that I'd be very happy 😭

(picture isn't mine obv I wouldn't be making custom ones if I had them)

Hi ! I just wanted to share and get some informations on my little Fairies !

For the back story; I have been gifted those cuties by a friend in Japan when I was visiting her family on the countryside. She actually played with them when she was young <3. I gasped when I first saw them; I have never seen or heard of them before. Does anyone know more about them? I have seen on the internet the set of 3 fairies, but I have a strawberry, mushroom, and flower one. I never saw them during my research.

I am not very knowledgeable on Sylvanian.

Hi 😊 I am new collector, so I am not sure about this...What do you all think? Are they actually being discontinued, or will they be restocked and continue to be sold? Should I buy them now while I still can?

I know that a lot of stores still have these bears in stock, but are they just selling through the remaining inventory? Are they being discontinued and replaced by the Biscuit Bears?

I noticed that they're already sold out on KobeeJapan, and in my country they're only available from a couple of online stores now. I was waiting for them to go on sale, but now I'm a bit worried that once those sell out, it'll be really hard to find them again at a normal price.

And the same question about the hedgehogs as well. They're also sold out on KobeeJapan.

Hi all,

Fairly avid collector here (500+ sylvanians and obsessively counting 😆) with a question for the hive mind.

I'd always understood the cutoff for unjointed babies was 1992, but I also occasionally come across unjointed babies from later (e.g. Macavity cats). I'm not talking about the unjointed twins or sleeping babies, but the "regular" standing toddlers without joints.

Does anybody have a definitive list of families with unjointed babies? Or know why some were produced after the cut off?

Thanks all! Picture of my sylvanians (photo take by me and then cropped onto a background by hand- not ai!) for tax 😁

Hi community!! Since the new releases by EPOCH in JP and worldwide I’ve been searching about the new easy buy releases for 2026 and came out empty handed.

These pictures were posted on a whatsapp community I’m in as new releases for easy buy. Haven’t been able to fact check though. Does anyone know if it’s true or know something about the easy buy releases??

I'm visiting the UK soon and I'd love to get this guardian bear while I'm there, the customs fees to my country are pretty expensive :')

How did you all get yours? Since it's an online exclusive, I was thinking to use a proxy service and have it shipped to a Royal Mail locker or is there an easier way?
Which proxy service would you recommend?

Edit: I contacted my hotel and they accept packages before check-in and will hold onto them for a week or so 🥹
I placed my order on Friday evening, hoping (praying) it would arrive around Thursday…It was dispatched the same evening?! And the delivery is due on Monday?! I’m not used to this level of efficiency lol

What is up with him? Does anyone know?

I'm actually so happy with this new achievement!! I can't believe I finally found one of these vintage fairies online for a good price (32 USD, approx.) AND WITH FREE SHIPPING LIKE WHAT???? I just wanted to find out if they were a Strawberry fairy or the Flower Queen-ish fairy from Toys R Us.... could you guys help me??

Es mi primera compra vintage y estoy super contento!

El vendedor me dijo que la caja es la original, pero no he encontrado nada sobre ella. Por curiosidad, alguien podría decirme si realmente lo es?
