Spare figures & imagination.

Since I started collecting Sylvanian Families again, I've ended up with multiple copies of the same figure. Often they have a small flaw or are missing original clothing. I don't mind these issues, I'm the kind of collector that seeing a vintage damaged figure & buys it, if only to give it a loving home! (My poor May Blossom is the perfect example of this)

In a recent bulk lot I acquired another Dr. Murdoch sr, missing his white coat & accessories (as is usually the case). But since I already have Dr & Mrs Murdoch I wondered what to do with him? Not many collectors want a figure with things missing... So I decided to get creative. 


I had a Teddy Bear Story figure without clothes, & I also had a spare dress the perfect size. 
Now meet "Murcott" & "Miss Iris Honeydew" 

I don't know what the back story will be for either of these characters, but for now I'm happy they know who they are.

    That's great and they look wonderful :D Good on you for giving her a new home :D I get damaged critters second hand as well :) Beatrice Dappledawn is missing most of her tail, and her daughter Tilly's tail is falling off as well. But they're very welcome in West Thorne :)

      Me too! I figured those clothes are very similar to original TBS ones.

    Aww- sweet. I have a soft spot for wounded/ left out Sylvanians that have lost their belongings. It makes me wonder what may have happened to them on their travels!?

    Some arrive at my house wounded and have to have surgery whilst others arrive with horror stories of being trapped in a black hole and can't remember who they are. Thank goodness Murcott and Miss Honeydew know who they are and have a loving home :)
