Title: MY Bunny family
Post by: skypurr on August 18, 2010, 22:28:43
I'm afraid I have a confession to make ....
After stating that I disliked the Easter bunnies and that when I bought the treehouse on ebay I was glad that the bunnies weren't included, I have changed my mind  :-[
I wanted to make the characters from Alice in Wonderland and Gis kindly sent me a bunny to use for the white rabbit, however I didn't have time to organise this before the exhibition so decided to hide the little bunny somewhere for children to find. 
It did seem a shame to just have one though and I thought he was rather sweet  :-[  ... so in the end I had to buy more and the Bunny family visited the exhibition - Mr and Mrs Bunny, young Master Bunny and the two Bunny girls!
Everyone enjoyed looking for them and they did move around every day!   
And me?  well I really like them now !! :-[  :love:  :-[
Here they are before they set off to the hall!

A secret bunny lover eh!

I quite like them too. We have the treehouse set as well. I must admit, I didn't automatically like them, they sort of grow on you.

I am not really crazy about the bunnies but I did buy the treehouse for my forest set up... regardless to say, the treehouse is occupied by the bunnies and decorating the livingroom...

I also have some bunnies that I'm not greatly keen on, but they may grow on me. Every bunny set I bought was for something in the box other than the bunnies. For now they languish unwanted and unloved in a cardboard box.

I'm guessing the bunnies have not been great sellers, or Playmobil could very easily have copied the Sylvanian Families series and added dog heads, cat heads, raccoon heads etc., and created a whole anthropomorphic animal world.

Yes they were introduced as Easter sets. An attempt to expand their holiday offerings. I like them and have them all of course since they are sort of an animal. I don't understand why they haven't released one of the Ester eggs with a bunny-person. it seems like it would be a natural.

All the bunnies with LittleJo

That's a great photo Tim, I hadn't realised that there were so many.
I'll have to look out for more now!

I've always basically ignored the whole bunny theme because i thought it was a little silly. I don't know why, because I loved calico critters when I was a kid. I guess its because what i've always loved about playmobil is it's so realistic in its own playful way.

On the other hand I have never actually had any bunny people, only seen pictures. So maybe if I actually saw them they would grow on me, too.

Hahaha, I think these bunnies are a bit weird. I think if I get some, I will give them alien bodies and a spaceship.
