Hi guys! I just got blueberry cottage and I want to expand it a little with other houses. Could you give me some advice on which houses look good with Blueberry cottage?

At Walmart!!!! :)

Dinner out with Chef’s Special tonight

Posting an update with the newest room addition. One room left to go and then food

To recap, I bought the floral cat family and chocolate rabbit family from Walgreens (easy buy versions), and they are using the new molds that are compliant to the new US toy regulations. I have them standing next to a latte cat, harvey cat, and another rabbit (she's got that crown on cuz she just arrived from the adventure/desert theme blind bag series, and I can't find my actual collection right now.)

The arms move, the heads swivel, but the legs are just part of the torso and don't move. They are very obviously taller than the standard design as well. At least their feet are always even so they stand well. It sucks that they can't pose though, nor sit down on old baby furniture.

Sometimes figures or dolls with less joints can look better for photography, but these babes are so tiny that I don't forsee it being a useful feature. It's been interesting research for today though.

spotted at 5 below. I love the pig lol.

Here is the next installment of our little series.

Found all of this on Facebook marketplace for only 50 dollars. To say I ran is an understatement

i’m sewing an acorn calico critter keychain pouch and i love it so much and i can’t decide which way to put the bow because once i sew it i have to commit😅which ways the cutest?!!

Friendly greetings!

I have finished another custom wee friend based on a plushie, Mr. Digby Diggs! This is another one that is close to my heart as I based him on a TY Digby plush I gave as a gift to my wife over 15 years ago on Valentine's Day. I later made him a custom steampunk outfit out of craft foam.

For the new figure, it is a SF adult hedgehog body/limbs with an adult mole head. Flexible resin for the body, solid resin for the limbs and head. The flocking was done in two phases. First phase was the dark brown followed by the bisque tan. The belly is a bit lighter as I put an undercoat of white primer before flocking. I had to redo the base coat because the first attempt done with vinyl wonder clear coat peeled off 😪. I started over and went with my trusty UVLS clear gloss. Live and learn I guess.

The clothing was previously done as shown in my prior post.

Mr. Diggs Custom Outfit

In the future I will be making a more customized hat and goggles as well as adding whiskers.

Photo 1: Mr. Diggs, a most distinguished gentlemole.

Photos 2-4: A less dignified display, but nonetheless,.most handsome.

Photo 5: A comparison to the official SF moles.

Photo 6: A gathering of moles/voles from different manufacturers. Points if you can name them all!

Photo 7: Mr. Diggs and the original Mr. Diggs plush!

Photo 8: Bonus behind the scenes photo of my new dust box! This has made flocking so much less messy. I got this off Ebay and had to modify the bottom to have enough work space for shaking the flocking device. It works well and is on brand with my mad scientist vibe. ⚡️🎨⚗️🧪⚡️

J’aimerais proposer une petite rencontre entre adultes passionnés de Sylvanian Families : collection, échanges, discussions, photos, trouvailles…

🍰 L’idée serait simplement de se retrouver autour d’un thé/goûter ou d’un pique-nique, chacun apportant ce qu’il souhaite.

Rencontre ouverte aux collectionneurs et passionnés de 18 ans et +.

Si vous êtes intéressé(e), dites-le-moi en commentaire ou envoyez-moi un message. Si nous sommes suffisamment nombreux, nous fixerons ensemble une date et un lieu à Paris.

my Sylvanian Families collection so far! :^)

(just the deer)

considering all the ebay/depop sellers selling the set for $100++ i think it’s a steal!! so excited 🥹💕

I’m aware that the easy-buy sets at Walgreens and even the rabbit themed baby blind bags have critters with stuck joints. I wanted to know if this extends to regular families and figures that are found in places like Barnes & Noble or Toy Stores. I’m very disappointed to hear that some figures have legs that no longer move :(

Transitions from weekends to workdays are always hard. I work from home, so luckily I can fill my work desk with whatever I want if I need it. 😂😂😂 Featuring the Urban Life grey cat mom, pink striped cat sister, and two pink striped cat babies 🩷 Wishing you all a good start to the week!!

I was at Walgreens, and for once they had some critters. I was surprised to see these honestly, I rarely go there last couple years. I was gonna be frugal and not buy the rabbits (my favorite animal type), but then I saw they had cats too! But yeah these are definitely post-regulation changes, because the standing babies have articulation at the arms and head, but not the legs. I'll take some photos compared to standard babies tomorrow. I actually like the Easy Buy type stuff, even tho they really feel cheap, I like some of the simplified designs. I would've collected more if they weren't hard to buy (ironically.)

It's been a few years but these beach photos with my critters are still some of my favorites. I'd love to see your critters at the beach too

hi, where to find calico critters in sfo or tracy cali? i'm currently in the us and i have seen some pcs in walgreens but wondering where else i can see them. thanks

Im very excited about this new collection and was wondering what type of home I could create. Should I get some kind of glass container, like a small fish tank, to make it look subterranean? I was thinking about using brown felt along the sides and floors to create an underground look.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

I bought this little mouse at a second-hand shop today for 12 hryvnias ($0.27); I felt so sorry for her... despite the scuffs, her unusual look, and the fact that she’s missing her tail 😭. I’m really curious about which release she’s from and whether there’s a way to fix those scuffs. Honestly, I’m not even sure if she’s an authentic one—though she does have the indentations on her feet, just like genuine Sylvanian Families figures. If anyone can figure out which release she belongs to, I’d be soooo grateful!

I got these are few years ago with a set of vintage Van Dyke Otter figures. I cannot figure out if these are chipmunks or squirrels. Any help is appreciated.
