Playmobil Typed Figures?

[GoldenGirl]

I remember playing with little doll figures that were very similar to Playmobil but slightly bigger and less square. I remember 2 of the figures I had came with shop fronts - one was red and was a butchers and the other was blue and was a fishmongers, and there were little hooks to hang the fish, meat etc on. I also had other figures that were indians (squaws), one dressed like robin hood and one like a park ranger. I think they were all girls, but I don't know if that was just coincidence.

One other thing I remember about them is that when you bent them right over they had a red, blue or green mesh pattern printed over their bums that looked like they were wearing knickers!

Does anyone know what these figures were called?
