Surprise Friends were produced by Hasbro in the early 90's. Each set comprised of a plush mother animal measuring about 12 inches long and a number of soft babies which were about 4 inches long. They had plastic faces and came in a variety of colours. The number of babies included varied and each one was different. The mothers came with a name tag around their necks which also came in a variety of colours.

"Guess how many! It's a surprise! How many girls! How many boys!"
