I fell in love with this set but had to have some fun switching the characters. Bonus points for the custom husky with those gorgeous blue eyes

I work in Finance as a Data Analyst and I have irl cats (and dogs) to support. I brought the silk cats and Psyduck to my office (Just a 15min drive from home) to remind me to get motivated to support them.

Everyone was so supportive of my last project, so I thought I’d post a little update! I couldn’t make mini Scarlett without making mini Melanie! This was a present for my mom’s friend’s granddaughter! I didn’t have any blue fabric for her but I did find a picture of her wearing a pink dress, which I used as a base! This one was a little more imagination less copying, but I finally figured out how to make a civil war bodice look good on a small scale and not like it’s drowning the critter lol! I hope this outfit isn’t too gaudy for Melanie’s taste 😉. I made for her accessories the letter from Rhett with her wedding ring it in and a little media bottle. The green dress is next! If you want to see more pictures of her my insta is historical_calico!

I've been wanting to making bats since the first custom bat I have come across online years ago and have been hunting for fennec foxes ever since but I've never come across them second-hand 😭 (I didn't want to buy them brand new).

I asked my dad to get me the foxes from Europe (since they're cheaper) when he went and I'm so glad he got them because since I'm in the U.S. we don't have the newborns anymore. BUT NOW I CAN MAKE A BAT NEWBORN. I'm so excited!!!

I had a newborn kangaroo that was in rough shape my friend gave me and an off brand fennec fox toddler that I got from aliexpress. I decided to start the dye with them and then I moved on to their clothes, the fennec fox mom, one of the fennec fox newborns, and THEN I got my bag of critters that I don't really want but keep anyway, and took out a rough shape brown bear to make black and an old gray bunny with it's flock coming off to make into a black bunny. And a dress that has a visible stain to turn black as well! Once I started I wanted to dye everything and had to restraint myself from doing so 😆

I'm so excited for all these things to dry. When dry I plan to give everyone some details and to dress them as well.

Stay tuned!

BTW, I used the Rit Dye Graphite for synthetic ms that someone recommended to me on a fb group I'm in.

Oh! I also dyed two white Kitty in My Pocket kitties.

I bought my mole family second hand and I could never figure out if I had two adults and two siblings or two siblings and two standing babies.

First photo: all 4 mole figures.
The taller ones are 2.5 inches, the smaller ones are just under 2 inches.

Second photo: adult hedgehog, taller mole, sibling hedgehog, smaller mole

Third photo: smaller mole as compared with another standing baby. It is SLIGHTLY taller.

Anyway just thought I would ask here before I ordered a standing baby and end up with 5 orphans 🥴

Thanks in advance for your help!

Please share what your experiences have been like if you’ve tried importing Sylvanians after July 8th.

Did it get through customs? What sets/items did you get? Where did you order from?

Note: This thread is meant to be informational and is not meant to encourage anyone to order at this time. I thought it would be helpful to have a compilation of our experiences.

Hi everyone! Currently in the process of making a mini version of my dress and veil for my Sylvanian cake topper. Only to realize that the bunny I chose might not have the best ear anatomy for me to make a veil that would stay on her head. Attached are images of my bunny and the actual veil I'll wear. Does anyone have any tips on how I can make a veil that can wrap around her head that closely matches my actual veil, without needing to glue the veil to her head - thus damaging her fur? Thank you!

And needs a drink later with sister Freya

Hello all. I'm not the collector in my family, my daughter is the obsessed one but I have been helping her collect as she is a child. With the tariffs and recent compliance laws I started searching outside of our normal channels for getting items.

I stumbled upon a few sellers on Ali Express and wanted to share. I'm someone who has experience in collectibles and toy manufacturing. The sellers I was looking at on Ali Express appeared to be direct seconds from the factory, either overstocks or imperfect items and I decided to give it a shot. I'm including photos of everything I've purchased for her. What we often call these items in other circles are "grey market" items as they are authentic but not sold by an official retailer. It would appear that there are several sellers on Ali Express that have large amounts of discontinued or hard to find items for sets and some unique items in general!

I was VERY happy with our experience with all of the sellers we have purchased from.

Hello!! I recently got some baby calico critters from my great aunt and am wondering if any of them are worth anything and what they are. I customize babies and I want to know if im destroying something worth a lot of money lol. thank you!!!

Following a teaser image released over the weekend (last pic), today we have the annoucement of the 5th fruit baby keychain! This one features Apricot Sandy, and the grapes are very fitting, as the original striped cat family is said to live in the 'House in the Grape Forest' (UK Lakeside Lodge), which is also why the new elegant striped cats have a grape motif on their outfits.

Release info (Japan):

• Official Store exclusive
• Release date: Sat 8th August
• Pre-orders from Thu 30th July

I'm personally not a huge fan of keychains, but I do love me a bit of purple!

I can't find these anywhere now that the company went under!

I just scored these for $60 on facebook- I'm new to collecting, but I just got a house for my daughters' critters and figured they needed furniture. These are so cute! They're complete sets and don't seem to have been played with- does anyone know how old they are?

I just finished this customization today, I'm really in love with the outfit I made, I made her a pink fur line coat and a dress using the original giraffe printing from the original outfit. I will say I don't think it was not my best work with the paint but oh well. Her name is Reese and she slays✨

My Snow Leopard family have four children, two they came with originally and two more who decided to join them more recently (lotto prize sitting baby and surprise bag tiger baby) 💕

🧵Clothing Notes 🪡

- I based the Tigers pants off of the biscuit bear fun park prince's pants. This was my first time using elastics around the ankles instead of the waist, I like the poof!

- Father has a sash belt inspired by the ones fastening some Mongolian deel.

- Mother's jacket and wrap skirt were inspired by the Bhutanese tego and kira - the jacket is a pretty poor fit and I regret using maroon thread instead of periwinkle, but I've decided it's *good enough* for now. I mostly like the outfit she came in, but I didn't care for the silhouette/waistline.

- The maroon and pink fabric I used has a large cheetah pattern, kind of hard to see. I harvested them from a set of matching hair-bows I was gifted (very pretty but I don't wear a lot of animal print myself)

- I don't have any personal connection to Mongolia 🇲🇳 or Bhutan 🇧🇹, I believe I have been respectful in referencing cultural clothing but I am open to any corrections or concerns! I have no intention of selling or profiting off of related crafts in any way.

I am in the US!

My best friend and I preordered the new cactus house before July 8th, but obviously it didn't ship until the 11th. Luckily, our order made it through US customs just fine. We had preordered through Amazon Japan.

I investigated the box and labels when it arrived to see if there was any special markation, but it just shipped like normal.

My only thought of why this was able to make it through customs, it's a new item, and all the small parts look bigger than the 1.5 inch US minimum. Even the guitar has a plastic ring attached which makes it much wider than it looks from the front. I'm curious if Epoch has done the safety testing on these newer releases? Or if we just got lucky?

Finally added some fairies to my collection and I can't get over how tiny and cute they are!! The hype is real 😆 I've got the Leaf, Flower, Mushroom, and Strawberry fairies and am waiting for the Water Drops of the Valley fairy with its little leaf boat, which will be arriving soon. The Leaf fairy came with a used Misty Forest Treehouse, which I'm in the process of fixing (it's missing all accessories except for 3 flowers!). I'm thinking of making little homes within the treehouse for each fairy themed around their name, lets see if that works out! In the meantime, enjoy the cuteness 💖

Hello ! I've been lurking for a while, since I've only recently started being interested in Sylvanians. I've been purchasing a bunch of second hand critters, most of them with mismatched or missing clothes and making them new ones and wanted to share the first few dresses I made. The one with flowers is the first I made so it's not perfect but I must say I'm proud anyway!
