WHAT IS IT?

A set of hedgehog figures from Sylvanian Families. There are two adult figures and two children, you can buy baby hedgehogs separately and I recommend them because this is one of the best families and so good to have the full set.

THE DESIGN

The hedgehog family is very unusual looking because they have been given long spiky hair that goes all the way down their backs. The hedgehogs are brown and the hair is glossy and soft, the features on their faces are friendly and the clothing looks just right on them. The dad and brother are wearing dungarees and the mum and sister have on pretty floral dresses. You get two brushes and two combs with the figures.

WHAT I THINK

I like the Bramble family very much because they are a delight with their hair, my husband says they remind him of Tina Turner and I can see the resemblance when I look at the hair. They are a traditional English mammal and a good one to choose as a set of Sylvanian figures.

The brushes and combs are very tiny but my daughter uses the brush to tidy the hedgehogs hair. This is necessary because the adults hair is long enough to get a bit tangled but the brush does work to get them out. You can take the clothes off but the dads dungarees don't fit other adult figures very well because they are low cut to make way for the hair.

The arms and legs move round and the heads rotate but not as far as other figures because of the long hair. The little girl is very wobbly when my daughter stands her up, that's unusual for Sylvanian Families but my daughter makes sure this figure is sitting down when she is playing because it can fall over sometimes.  The head on the mother figure is also loose, not very much but I noticed it because it happens so rarely with Sylvanian figures.
