Doll-A-Day 2019 #161: Peter Rabbit Garden Set and Peter and Flopsy

    Firstly, BeBe,if you're out there,please comment with your address so I can send you your prize. I'll be leaving for Georgia again in a few days. If I don't hear from you before I go I won't be able to mail it until I get back. I'm hoping to be back on Father's Day. If  BeBe doesn't contact me soon we'll pick another winner.
  Now. Today we're checking out a couple of sets of toys with a doll. It's the Peter Rabbit Garden Set and the Peter and Flopsy figure set.

The sets are based on the "Peter Rabbit" movie,released in 2018.

I actually thought the movie was pretty good. It didn't stray too far into adult humor for kids,like a lot of kid's movies these days. It didn't completely ruin my idea of the classic books,like the Cat in the Hat and Where the Wild Things Are movies.

They're made by Just Play.

 

Included in the garden set is, first of all,a cute flocked Peter Rabbit figure.

Peter is similar to a Sylvanian Families doll. He has one ear flopped over,which gives him some extra personality. He's cute, but unfortunately he doesn't really resemble the cute character from the movie.

 

His head,arms, and legs are jointed. His little blue jacket is cloth,with printed gold buttons, and is removable.

Peter comes with a pumpkin and a watering can,and a  'plantable' garden that includes four carrots and three heads of lettuce.

'Plantable' means the carrots and lettuce come out of the little plot of ground.

Also included is a garden gate that actually opens. All the pieces are cute and fairly realistic.

The other set is a two pack with Peter and Flopsy

These characters are just over 3 and a half inches tall, the same size as Peter from the other set.

They actually have different head sculpts. I have to give the company credit for that. They could have just painted them differently and used the same sculpt. That would have been cheap of them,and unfair to their customers,but that's the common thing to do. But disappointingly,Peter is the exact same figure as the one in the garden set. I really hate it when toy manufacturers do that. Kids will want the various sets for all the different bits and pieces,so why stick them with the exact same figures they will have gotten in another set? I know it's cheaper because they don't have to come up with a new sculpt. But they might even get more sales if they changed just the facial expression or the ears or something about the head. Since the head is a separate piece,they wouldn't have to spend any money on the body. It could be done fairly cheaply. Come on toy companies!

You can see his face paint better in this picture. Look at his little furry face.

Flopsy doesn't look like the movie character either. She doesn't even look like a girl.

Flopsy's red jacket is cloth, but unlike Peter's jacket,it's not removable. It also doesn't look like the one from the movie.

Flopsy has the same limited articulation as Peter. She does have an even more flopped over ear than Peter. (Well, she is Flopsy.) She's even cuter than Peter too. (The cuteness is equivalent to the ear floppiness I guess.)

I got these sets clearanced at Walmart a while back for only $2.00 each.
  Those are today's dolls. I'm off to Georgia again tomorrow. I was prepared this time, so I prepared a bunch of posts ahead of time. So, Ken will be posting the daily posts for me. So even though I'll be gone, I'll see you tomorrow for another doll.
