Title: Simba "Sylvanians"
Post by: HavACrumpet452 on June 27, 2014, 12:20:34 PM: My friend found these West Germany sylvanian knockoffs by Simba at the goodwill outlet and got them for me. Opa Mole is still in his box. Anybody ever heard of these guys? I love the moles!

I loved those as a kid and used to have a lot of them!! "Bärenwald" (the english name is "Bear Family") was the name of the series, try google and you will find a lot of information!

(I mean a whole family - there's the Maple Town lion mayor of course.) :) They're pretty high quality and very cute! I had the Simba bear family when I was a kid. Simba also distributed Forest Families in Germany, in their own Bear Family/Bärenwald boxes. The moles are exclusive to Simba though. :)
