I love Calico Critters, and the Friesian Cow Family is another really cute set. The cow family are black and white, flocked play figures with removeable clothes. My daughters like to use them in their dollhouses instead of dolls. Each family consists of a Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister. The arms and legs move, and the head turns. They are well made, and lots of fun.
The Friesian Cows are all white with black patches, pink ear insides,a pinky/peach muzzle and shiny black eyes. They have no tails or udders, Dad has horns. Dad is wearing light green overalls with black buttons, a blue and white checked shirt and a red scarf. Mom is wearing a yellow dress with lace collar trim, a navy bow and an attached apron with lace trim. Brother has more clothes than the typical Critter boy. He is wearing light blue suspender pants and a multi-colored striped shirt with green collar. Sister has a orange and white checked dress with lace trim and black decorative buttons. All the pants are slip on and the dresses and shirts have velcro closures. Mom and Dad are about 3 1/2" tall, and the kids are 2 1/2".
The Calico Critters scale is somewhere between 1:12 and 1:24. They fit in all our dollhouses, including some of the older, smaller Fisher-Price houses. My daughters have had Critters for about 5 years now, and I love the way they play with them. It is pure, imaginative play. They set up a town of houses, and create a story. I like that while each family has a little back story, there is no prescribed way to play with them. The Critters are a little pricier than other dollhouse figures out there, but they are high quality and have great play value. When my daughters have friends over, our Critters are usually one of the first toys taken out. Partly because they are so fun, and partly because not that many of my girls' friends have them. I think because they aren't available in mass-market stores or advertised heavily, they aren't as well known. If you're considering giving a family as a gift, you can't go wrong you definitely will have a hit on your hands.
The only thing I don't absolutely love about the cow family is their color. Our set is still new and looks great, but in my experience, the black and white figures (like the Dalmation Dogs) are the only Calico Critters that end up looking dingy. The white flocking picks up lint, and if your child plays with them, they will start to look dirty.
