[ID: Marvellous Hive] Small bumblebee people
« on: Friday 20 August 2010, 05:22 pm »
Gosh i hope you can help i been looking for ages trying to identify them! lol

ok first off they were the same size as the original fisher price little people, maybe a little shorter but i use to play with them all together.

There was a king and a queen, and i had either 3 or 4 sons. ok hmm try and describe them now:
All the figures were hard plastic, no movable pieces just one lump of plastic if that makes sense.
SONS:
The sons had like ginger afros painted on and antennes (Like bees obviously lol).
Strippy painted on jumpers
And painted on wings.
QUEEN:
Long cape painted on with black hair and antennes (all painted)
I dont remember what the king was like.

I had a playset to go with all of this and I think it was like a giant green leaf maybe? about the size of a flat opened laptop in total. it had little bits the people could sit in and then in the center was the king and queens thrown.

I would love to know what these were called as I was gutted when my mum decided to charity shop them years ago without me knowing as I would have njust taken them to my home and stored them till my daughter was old enough to get the enjoyment out of them that i did.

PLEASE HELP!!!

OMG You Are Amazing! Thank you soooo much! so Marvellous Hive ha thats awesome.
Just spoke to my mother and asked how I ended up with a french toy growing up. She answered with  "i bought it from amsterdam"........well if she had told me that months and months ago when I asked her for info on them maybe I would have had a better chance at identifying them lmao.

I just read through that site and it states there was only one playset with those bee people so im wondering either my mind is playing tricks on me or the leaf shaped playhouse i had came from something else lol. xxx
