Original TOMY Sylvanian Families

[Laura]

I am a huge Sylvanian Families fan...I started collecting in 1987, and then my collecting dwindled after I moved to Canada, when I could only buy them on m trips back to the UK, but last September I started collecting again. I know that Sylvanians are still being made, but it's the Original TOMY UK versions that I like.

Did anyone else have any of these wonderfully cute little critters?

[Philomena]

Yes I used to swear I would collect them all when I was small, but I think the best thing I got was the caravan complete with bear family.

[lindibelle]

YES!!!
I still have them, I made my mum save them all nd they are in her loft
I must get her to dig them out for me as i am sure i had lads of them

Hi All,

I know I'm replying pretty late to this thread.. but I LOVE SYLVANIANS too!

I know they were hugely popular in the 80's... wonder why it's not as popular now ('cos the dolls are cuter than ever). I suspect it's probably due to games and consoles overtaking the toy market. Which is a shame.. I think Sylvanian dolls helps kid's imagination whereas gaming just makes them lazy.

Anyway, le goff eva I don't know what the grand mansion is but I think what you're referring to is the 'Grand Hotel'. You can buy it from the UK at www.sylvanianfamilies.com or try www.happyhappysue.co.uk for cheaper prices. In the US, www.tamaboutique.com has some mixes of both calico critter and sylvanian stuff. In Australia, I've bought from www.mysylvanians.com

Hope that helps!

My sister had a collection of these, but not as much as one of my cousins, who used to just keep them on display & never play with them.
