Welcome to my Sylvanian Families toys website!

Here one can see my collection and reviews, plus toy photography, etc. on Sylvanian Families (SF) and other mini toys (usually by Japanese plastic miniatures maker Re-ment) to complement my SF toys. Sylvanian Families is a toy line created and owned by Japanese toy and games company Epoch Co., Ltd.

Note this website is a work in progress. It may include links and references to my earlier SF photo blogs, and my SF catalogue blog, as those sites are where I first started publishing my SF collection, photography, blog, etc. as well as social media links. Posts from these blogs are migrated to this site, hence some photos in this site may still retain copyright owner names pertaining to my other sites. I’ve decided not to redo the copyright marks on those photos when posting/migrating them here.

Comments are by default disabled on this website, due to time constraints (yes, there is life outside of SF, Lol!) and having a day job, and because I just want to post/share my Sylvanian Families interest on this site.

For clarity, below are some common abbreviations used on this site:

  • SF – Sylvanian Families
  • CC – Calico Critters
  • JP – Japan
  • UK – United Kingdom

I hope you enjoy this site and find useful information in it if you collect similar things.

How My Re-ment Collection Started – Little Twin Stars “Hoshizora”/Starry Sky Party

Before I go further and post activities or purchases I’ve made for my Re-ment collection, I thought I’d share some background on how I was first introduced to Re-ment.

I am a Little Twin Stars character fan.  They’re Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty.  I grew up possessing Sanrio character toys and items and to me it’s the Little Twin Stars that I like best.  But we know Sanrio isn’t exactly the cheapest of things to buy.  Lol!  Especially not when you’re still a schoolkid.  These things were usually gifts from my parents, friends, godparents, and relatives.

So as I became an adult and a professional, I of course eventually got my own means to buy such Little Twin Stars items.  I did notice that for a time they didn’t really sell stuffed dolls or miniature toys of these things.  So I saw them (and bought them) with the other Sanrio characters Hello Kitty and My Melody, but not really Little Twin Stars.

Until one day in 2012, while I had nothing better to do, I decided to browse the internet to shop for Sanrio items, and saw a youtube video of these awesome little Little Twin Stars miniature collection or set which I’ve never come across before.  Never mind Re-ment even.  But it was really awesome.

I can’t seem to find that video anymore but at the time there were at least two which I remember I checked out that were quite descriptive, from US collectors.  But here’s another one I dug up just now.  The lone result I’ve seen so far.

Here is an image of what’s on the box cover.
