This is exciting, wonder if the monkey and the goats will be similar to the UK versions or completely different

Cool! This is exciting! Can't wait for pictures.
Knowing from past experience, Epoch products looks different than Flair products. Look at the hamsters, otters, dalmatians, and beavers.

Re: Latest from the Tokyo Toy Fair 2013!
Here we go, managed to hook up a picture of the monkeys and slight peek at the goats! Unfortunately, thats all I have today!

I have to admit I actually love the new fabrics ! Not to mention the much cuter JP Monkey Babies! The crawling baby looks like he's wrapped in a little Banana!

Hmm, not as different as I thought they would be. But the babies are much cuter than the Darwin babies... Thank you, Rockie!

Aw the crawling baby is so cute. I'm not sure about the dad's outfit though. I wish I was at the Toyko Toy Fair Epoch Booth - it looks so cool. You're lucky. Do they have this every year? Has anyone else gone?

Re: Latest from the Tokyo Toy Fair 2013!
I'm not impressed at all. These new Japanese figures are looking too "cute" and therefore in my opinion not cute at all, if that makes any sense. To me, they are starting to look like those Japanese erasers and quite quickly I was able to find these cousins on a website called FunArtOnline.com.
http://www.funartonline.com/kawaii-animals-erasers/monkey.html
I do like the standing baby's outfit, but over all I really liked the unexpected look of the UK babies.
I am glad there are folks that like them, but they are not for me. My wallet is very pleased that Japan is not trying to tempt it.

Re: Latest from the Tokyo Toy Fair 2013!
Love them!
They look very Sylvanian and I can't wait to add them to my collection. Can't wait to see the goats!!!!
I love the traditional look of the original figures but love the way the range is evolving. It makes the new figures exciting and the originals special and nostalgic
Thank you for posting Mr Lau!
