Koalas??

I have just bought a new release of Koalas by Flair, but they look identical to the family released before, they are not the new family due out soon which includes the brother and sister.
Does anyone know if the ones I have really are identical to the old ones? And why do you think they have just been released again when a new version is just about to come out?

Re: Koalas??

I saw those on Ebay and got really confused too, because they just have mother, father and babies, but then the link in another topic shows a photo of them with siblings

Re: Koalas??

I thought the new families weren't supposed to be out until January. Maybe the koala family you got was the one from a couple of years ago?

Re: Koalas??

The Koalas I've seen are in the newer packaging. They were only ever released in the older style Flair packaging. The only thing I thought is that they might be limited release, a bit like they released Fisher Cats here in the UK to a particular toy store.

Re: Koalas??

They are in the currant Flair family packageing but they were free if I spent over a certain amount in a local toy shop, I haven't seen that offer anywhere else though... hhmmm I reckon they are a limited re-release... lucky me, I've wanted them for ages and am not bothered at all that I got them just before the new family is about to come out, these are the ones with the slings for the babies.

Re: Koalas??

Is it a chain toy shop or just a local one?

Re: Koalas??

Just a local one I'm afraid, in Croydon! Gordon's Stationers. They do do mail order...

Re: Koalas??

Stress over, I got a set from my local Co-op Department Store. Their clothing is different from the first Flair release and their noses are darker emoticon Wonder what's happening with the new (brother/sister) version

I've already seen the twinset on Ebay so can assume they must be also releasing the brother sister version too, otherwise it'd seem silly having mother, father, standing babies and then the twinset too

Re: Koalas??

I just got an email from Sylvanian City and it mentioned a koala family, but it showed the one with the two standing babies, not the siblings. I even emailed Matt back to ask which version he was selling and he confirmed that it's the one with the 2 babies.

So I'm a little confused at this point. Has anyone actually bought the koala family with 2 siblings recently? Or is this all just a misunderstanding created by some companies using old promo photos?
