>3rd kid's coming>1st girl>Get kind of excited because I keep seeing sylvanian families at toy stores and now I have a passable excuse to check 'em out >Start looking into them seriously >They seem stupid expensive So, are they actually the quality one would expect for that price or are they a rip-off?
>>11824237>and now I have a passable excuse to check 'em outfor the love of god, don't pass on your insecurities to your kids. you are going to fuck them up.
>>11825039I am probably going to pass many physical and psychological flaws down, just as I'll pass physical and psychological merits down.The worst of these flaws won't be the belief that little flocked figures of big headed critters are probably best suited to little girls.
Who's the father?
>>11825792Right? Should we expect a black cat in the picture?
>>11825792I think the one in shorts in the background, it's just foreshortened weird so he looks kid-scale.Imagine taking six kids and the wife out to a local bakery cafe.That's like 180 bucks worth of scones, good god man.
>>11824237Buy them secondhand, very affordable. They are pretty high quality though, most of my childhood ones look great.If you get into customising them, it might hit your insecurities less.
>>11825879Probably gonna take a laser cutter course at the library, buy laser cut patterns, and throw together a few houses/shops/ships when all the kids are past their destructive toddler phases.I don't know why more kids' playsets aren't ships, they seem like an ideal setting for diorama and imaginary play.
>>11825879>Buy them secondhand,for his newborn? with all that bacteria collected into their felt? no.
>>11826304These are gonna be 2+ years down the road.Any toy before then is just a chew toy.
>>11824237Sylvania is expensive because they are a Japanese line with a history of spotty distribution in the USWal Mart for a while had an off brand version called Honeybee but I don't remember if they still carry them.
Very cute series. Am a bit confused by the different imitations like Maple Town and Calico Critters. Not that I mind, just odd that there's different companies producing essentially the same flocked anthropomorphic animal families
>>11826304You can’t give this toy to a newborn full stop, dumbass.
>>11827188How's Anon supposed to know? They're such weird little aliens and more and more people are only kids or from entire families with no young kids.I've been seated at restaurants at least half a dozen times with an infant and the waitress or hostess has grabbed the infant a kid's menu and box of crayons.
