The Big-Eared Newcomers to Sylvanian Village
Sylvanian Families began in Japan in 1985, created by the toy company Epoch, and its flocked animal families have charmed children and collectors around the world ever since. The Fennec Fox Family brings one of the cutest desert animals into the village, with oversized ears, soft sandy fur and sweet little faces. This set includes mum, dad and twin babies, plus a matching pushchair so the whole family can head out for a stroll. It is the Japanese edition (FS-48), sold in its original Japanese box.
Product Features:
- Complete family of four: father, mother and twin babies, ready for imaginative play.
- Twin pushchair included: a double pushchair with fennec fox styling that holds both babies.
- Posable figures: the parents' heads, arms and legs move, so they can sit, walk and wave.
- Soft flocked finish: the classic velvety Sylvanian texture, with the fennec's famous big ears.
- Removable outfits: the parents' clothes can be taken off and changed for dress-up play.
- Japanese box edition: the original Epoch Japan FS-48 packaging, a nice touch for collectors.
- Mix with any Sylvanian set: works with all Sylvanian Families houses, furniture and families.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as the Fennec Fox Family sold in Australian toy stores?
Yes, it is the same family set. This is the Japanese release (FS-48) in its original Japanese box, while local stores carry the English-packaged version. The figures work together with every Sylvanian Families set.
What is a fennec fox?
The fennec fox is the world's smallest fox, native to the deserts of North Africa. Its huge ears help it hear prey under the sand and release heat to stay cool, which is why the Sylvanian version has such distinctive ears.
Where do Sylvanian Families come from?
Sylvanian Families was created in Japan by Epoch in 1985. The range is known for its flocked animal families, detailed houses and furniture, and gentle, nurturing play that has been passed down through generations.
What age is Sylvanian Families suitable for?
The range is designed for children aged 3 and up, and many adults collect them too. Small parts such as the babies and accessories mean they are not suitable for children under 3.
