OMG!!!!!

They have finally brought Sylvanian Families to the US!!!!

For those who don't know what they are, Sylvanian Families are small, flocked figurines of animals originally from England. They cover a variety of species including foxes, squirrels and penguins and have their own little houses and towns. They are extremely adorable, and extremely expensive to get in the US.

That is until now! As Toys R' Us now has them. They have been renamed Calico Critters, but trust me, these are the same obscenely adorable little figures. I wouldn't call them *cheap*, but 20 dollars for a family is hella cheaper than 50 like they charge at the import stores or on Ebay.

Gawd, between these things, anime, video games, Barbies, ball-joint dolls and manga even if I get a really well paying job I'm never going to have any money XD
