Found something cool today. I spend $3.00 at a garage sale and got the Calico Critter carry case (that doubles for a fold out house), a toy boy bench, a stroller, and 15 of the Calico Critter figures! Yay!
I got a bear family (5 of them, 1 was a baby), a dalmation family (5 of them, 1 was a baby), a mom rabbit and two babies,& a cat and a baby.
I love the mama rabbit even though she's missing her apron. She remind me of my older Sylvanian figures. :D

That's an amazing deal! Those puppies are pricey at stores!

I didn't think I'd ever buy them since they were so expensive. I was at the right place at the right moment. I normally don't go into that neighborhood to garage sale in. Guess I'll have to go in there again sometime in the future just in case lol.

What an awesome deal! I have thought of buying them before, but they are pricey in the stores.
-
I love these! I think they are so sweet. I would have liked these as a little girl too.

Nice find. ;D

Calico Critters! I collect these also. Have you seen the Persian Cat Family to cute.
-
I've seen a picture of the baby persian cats but I don't think I've seen the family. I do like the baby picture I saw.
I'm so conflicted in liking these or just thinking they are cute but not the older Sylvanian ones (which I collect because they my childhood ones with a few dupicates and a nude mole family too lol). I like the new baby poses but I think I'm so used to the old baby pose that it's hard for me to love the new baby poses as much. I like the new details they gave the faces but again the older ones faces are what I like better. Like the foxes. The older fox face is solid brown/orange. Now they have so many details and colors on them that I feel a little disconnected to them. Am I weird for this? I think the ones I like the least is the new bear family I have. It's not that they are bad I just like my tan, (old) brown, and grey Sylvanian ones more. I still think they are all super cute. Just been trying to think if all of them will stay here with me or not.

I think it's common for people to like things better that are more like the things they liked originally (in this case original sylvanians).

I wonder if the dye method in the post about the custom LLL dog would work for these?
-
as the saying goes intimation is the most sincerest form of flattery. ;)
-
Wardah- I bet some of these would easily take dye.

You're so lucky to have them, especially the bears. I love bears :D
