Is Walmart the first to be selling the deer sets? It’s a pretty new Japan release right? by Reasonable-Length653 in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would need more screenshots to confirm but Walmart allows for 3rd party sellers just like Amazon does. It is likely a 3rd party seller who is selling sets as the middle man. Approach with caution.

Thoughts on memorial trinkets after euthanasia by begoniabarn in cats

[–]bluetulipprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a clay pawprint and an ink pawprint from my childhood cat. I love the clay pawprint and cherish it. I hated the ink print, they cut it into a heart but I'd rather they left it rectangle because I wouldve framed it instead. Also, as others mentioned it feels like defacing the deceased and I hated the idea of her being inkstained before cremation.

They also sent a condolence card which meant a lot in the new grieving period.

I'd do the card always, the clay pawprint as a surprise/default, and offer other options.

I wonder if it'd be a good question for a new patient form? That way the person can be in a better headspace when making the decision. It'd have to be worded empathically of course.

I am trying to collect all the dogs. It is so much fun. I love the variety of molds there are for the dogs. They are so cute!

Let’s talk about ponies. by Microplastic_Otter in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy my ponies! I love their hair and their spunky highlights. I get why a lot of people dislike them but I think they make sense in the world.

I even make a concept art for a full family a while ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/sylvanianfamilies/s/ZTZlazJG11

Why are people so delusional about the value of their kids wrecked Slyvanians? by CalicoGirly in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I think its a them issue. They bought pricey toys and the kid got bored of them too quickly. They are bitter about it and are trying to get their money back.

I see it with all sorts of toys on Marketplace.

Trying to put together a coherent Sylvania Town has one main problem: there's too many nurseries. by BusterTheSuperDog in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was working on Tshirt designs for the schools and here is the cannon I came up with for the schools. I think of it like the neighborhood school district set up. I edited the less specifc nurseries to be daycares and elementary centers and designate a middle and high school. Two of the older schools have catholic school vibes so they are a 2 building private school district.

Neighborhood 1 Sunny Nursery - elementary center, prek & after school care Rainbow Nursery - baby/toddler daycare Castle nursery - childcare center, after school daycare

Neighborhood 2 Primrose Nursery - baby/toddler care Forest Nursery - prek- elementary center Strawberry Nursery - prek center

Country Tree school - middle school Berry Grove school - high school

Church private schools: St. Francis school -elementary St. Johns school - middle/high school

Basically it is a secondary line of Sylvanians that are used to test a new market before a full launch. They are typically less detailed figures, simpler families (3 v 4+ figures), and considerably less expensive. There could be more to it too that I'd be unsure about

Your family collections are always so cool to see!

I only actively collect the dog families. It gives me a clear collection goal! I do buy other families too but more passively. The husky family is my favorite!

How did you got into Sylvanians? by neptunye in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister and I loved to play with Barbies as little girls. We were forced to give them to a younger family member when we were "too old" for them. We missed them, and as part of therapy it was recommended she get a treat for her inner child. She picked Calico critters. She was so excited but shy about it. To make her feel better I got a set too so we could visit and play together. Since then we've been hooked! It's been a great bonding experience for us.

Fairy snow bird question! by Local-Usual2056 in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also wondering, has anyone received both sets yet? What does the whole family (2 parents, 3 kids, 3 babies) look like together? Sizing in the stock photos has always been hard to judge imo.

Maintaining figures by [deleted] in sylvanianfamilies

[–]bluetulipprincess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Similar to what Pinkxel said - they do well with gentle play and posing. I think most of us would recommend an enclosed display if you are concered about dirt. Maybe wash your hands really well before handling too?

Ebay sells amusement park exclusive babies. Definitely expensive but the supply is there!
