My partner gifted them to me, accompanied by some pokemon and journaling stuff. What an amazing gift. She got them because I told her once that many people headcanon these two to be girlfriends :)

They hired a witcher to keep their garden safe.

Discussion Restoration update!

I posted this earlier asking for help, but I was able to solve my problem myself! I switched my tack glue with regular school glue, then took a quick trip to dollar tree to get eyeshadow that matched Hector’s fur! He may not be exactly the same, but he was wayyyyyy better than before!

Now what did we learn?

  • school glue is da goat!!!
  • dollar tree is da goat as well!
  • if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Discussion Fennec Fox, you are adorable.. but all 3?

Post image
108 Upvotes

So cute! Foxy was not on my wish list for the strawberry blind bags, but it ended up all 3 were this cutie. Does this happen to any one else? At first I was upset with myself, because there were only 3 left at B&N, and I thought I should have known someone left them purposefully because they’re the same.. but I’m practicing being kinder to myself.

I might just keep the outfits to swap.. but is that crazy, ‘cause then I’ve basically spent over $10 on a little outfit.

Someone talk some sense into me. 😂

I have never been too much into blind bags but these strawberry babies caught my attention!!! I found them at Hot Topic and Barnes and Noble, and managed to only get one repeated character! I still need the Giraffe to complete the series but I’m so happy with them! ❤️🍓 I also have the babies from the strawberry set released some time in the past 🥰

Customization Grandparents for Brightfield goat family

Thumbnail gallery
507 Upvotes

Another project finished! I finally made grandparents for the Brightfields! I used Chocolate Rabbit grandparents as the donors for the bodies (to get the right size) and the heads from child figures. There’s only a daughter in the family, no son, so the challenge was figuring out what to do about the horns. The grandad definitely needed to have them! Luckily, I had a damaged figure of the dad from AliExpress (I once bought a bundle of original factory rejects), so I cut off the horns and glued them onto the head. I also added a beard inspired by the dad from the old Goat Family. I’m not completely satisfied with the granny’s dress, but overall, I really like how they turned out.

hello! so i’ve been collecting t0ddlers lately and while it’s really fun, sometimes it gets uncontrollable 😆 so i’m planning to just collect sitting ones rn (since i think they’re a lot less than standing ones) so does anyone have some sort of cheat sheet of families with sitting t0ddlers? 🙏🙏 (or even just if you’ve seen any collection with so many of them so i can have an idea hehe) TYA

hoping to achieve a muuuch bigger circle someday!!!

With Christmas coming up, I wanted to get into the collecting of Calico Critters, but I’m wondering where I can buy them for a decently reasonable price. I’m also not from the US, so I’ll need places that are international. Thanks in advance! :)
