In 2006, the characters in the toy line were chosen to be the mascots for the National Federation of Workers and Consumers Insurance Cooperativess national mutual aid. By the end of the year, the toys sold a total of 78 million units. [5] In 1993, Tomy, who had been distributing the toys worldwide, lost the rights to the name "Sylvanian Families" in Canada and the US. Tomy reintroduced the line under the new name Calico Critters of Cloverleaf Corners, now simply just called Calico Critters. The Calico Critters line is currently distributed in the US and Canada by Epoch Everlasting Play, LLC. The Country Tree School is such a fun school! Whilst there is a classroom which comes furnished for lessons for up to 6 Sylvanian children, complete with 6 seats and desks, the teacher's desk and whiteboard, there is also a tree to climb in break time! A balcony overlooking the beautiful Sylvanian scenery provides the perfect platform for pupils to get inspired for their art lessons or spot some wildlife. For any little star-gazers, there is a telescope fitted to the roof which can also be connected to the tree for a better view. Finally, there is also a bench for your little Sylvanians to relax after many hours practising their sums and ABCs. Box Contents

In 2007, Epoch teamed up with Itochu, Nippon Columbia and Shogakukan to produce a 3D CGI Original Video Animation series based on the toy line produced by Kōji Kawaguchi and Yumiko Muriai and directed by Akira Takamura. All 3 episodes were released on June 20, 2007. According to Epoch, more episodes were planned, but these were never produced for unknown reasons. In the UK, Flair celebrated the franchise's 20th anniversary with a selected number of new items. The best selling was an Otter boat, and a reintroduced Dalmatian Family who now wore party hats that read "Happy 20th!". The only disappointment which I knew in advance is that the set doesn't come with any figures and I think it would have been even better if the set had come with even one figure such as the school teacher. This didn't make any difference to my niece as she already has tons of figures but it may be worth thinking of if you are buying this as a gift for a child who doesn't have any figures to start with. One other thing that would be nice is if the makers Epoch could actually think of selling the school uniforms to go on the child figures and to either include a few of these outfits with this set or maybe have a separate set of school clothes that can be bought for perhaps the six seats that come with the school as otherwise it's difficult to get the outfits unless purchasing the same [[ASIN:B00MHRT0PK two school friend figures]] over and over again just for their clothes By 1988, Sylvanian Families had become a major success around the world, winning the British Association of Toy Retailers award for "Toy of the Year" three years consecutively, in 1987, 1988 and 1989.
