Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
Timbertops, they are Bear family from the 1980's and they are dark brown.

Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
Yes, the crawling brown baby bear would be best described as a Timbertop, but he's a strange timbertop. The mold that they used to make the crawling brown bear is a "little bear" mold, the same used to make Petites, Porriages, and US Marmalades.
The Timbertop family was made from the large bear mold, as were Evergreens, Huntingtons/Honeybears, and UK Marmalades. The difference between the two styles of bear is quite subtle on the babies, but they are different-- the little bear style has a shorter /flatter snout.
So the crawling baby bear in question is colored like a Timbertop, but using the little bear mold. This makes him unique, as there are no other pure dark brown little bears. He isn't really a true Timbertop, but since he doesn't have his own name, its still the most accurate thing to call him.
The sitting gray bear baby that came in a carry case a few years back falls into this same strange catagory.
The sitting baby brown bear that comes with the CC Nursery School Set (the one that comes with the cat teacher, not the new one) IS a true Timbertop, as he is the correct mold to be a Timbertop.

Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
Tiffany,
I looked at your Timbertops photo and the Timbertop face is all wrong. The nose on my baby boy is pointy, like the Marmalades.

Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
Here are the photos of the Primrose Creche Figure Set:
All figures
Close up of baby boy dark bear that Wendy suggests is a strange Timbertop
Comparing baby boy dark bear with Marmalade babies (baby boy dark bear in centre)
I believe this is a Macavity baby
I believe this is a Sparkle baby girl
I think this baby may be a squirrel, but it has markings around the face unlike the Furbanks
Comparing the baby with the Brother Furbanks, the ears are wrong and the colours of the body and the stripes are wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help IDing these figures

Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
Interesting figures!
So is that baby bunny a Sparkle baby? What colour is she? she look like a Buttermilk bunny to me (straight ears, ivory white body and no marks on face)...
That puzzle figure I posted has marks like the Cottontail bunnies, and is supposedly pale pink in colour (I'll know for sure when I receive him )

Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
The baby squirrel is a Walnut squirrel:
http://www.sylvanian-families.net/Families/41504/JPWalnutsquirrels.html
The others you are correct: Macavity, Periwinkle (aka buttermilk, milk, or milky) and weird Timbertop.
About Periwinkle, that is the acutal last name, buttermilk, milk, or milky is the description of the color. (The Periwinkle family are buttermilk rabbits)

I think you're right. But to complicate things a bit, here in continental Europe, Buttermilk is their actual family name (just as calico cats are called Whiskers). It can be confusing. LOL

Re: Is this rabbit who I think he is?
Thank you all for the IDs! You are so kind to help me
All this ID-ing makes me think back to when my husband and I kept saltwater reef aquariums (not that long ago, actually). I was on a reefkeeping board with loads of members. Every day, someone would ask about the ID of some coral, or worm they'd found in the live rock, or a fish, or - you name it, people asked about it - with good photos, out of focus photos, or no photos at all. I got very good after awhile at ID-ing marine life.
When I started collecting CCs/SFs, I had no idea I'd be back trying to ID animals of the small, cute, fluffy and plastic kind
Thanks again!
Here's my new Kitsume Fox from a JP carry case:
