Frequently asked questions
What exactly are Sylvanian Families figures?
They are delightful, small animal figures, each covered in a soft, velvety “flocked” material. They come in various animal types – rabbits, squirrels, bears, cats, dogs, hedgehogs, and many more – and are designed as families (mom, dad, brother, sister, sometimes even babies!).
“Flocked” refers to the special coating that gives Sylvanian figures their unique soft, fuzzy texture. Tiny fibres are applied to the plastic figures, making them feel warm and cuddly, almost like real miniature animals!
Can their arms and legs move?
They sure can! Most Sylvanian figures have movable arms, legs, and heads, allowing them to be posed in various ways – sitting down, standing up, reaching for things, or holding hands. This adds to the realism and versatility of play.
What scale are Sylvanian Families figures?
Sylvanian Families figures are roughly 1:16 to 1:18 scale, making them compatible with other similar-sized dollhouse toys and accessories.
Do all figures fit in all vehicles and playsets?
Most figures are designed to fit into the corresponding Sylvanian Families vehicles and playsets. The size of the figures varies slightly (adult, child, baby, etc.), so some may fit better in certain places than others.
