Title: small compact bear


lookin' for stuff - April 24, 2006 05:30 PM (GMT)
I'm looking for a little bear who lived in a Polly Pocket-like compact case. The case was yellow, and revealed an apple orchard when opened. The little bear's name was Macintosh I think, and he wore a yellow raincoat and hat. I've been trying to find the little guy everywhere, and I figured maybe you all could help me. Anyone remember this toy?

that almost sounds like paddington bear. never saw a toy like that, but I did have a candle of him holding a yellow umbrella with a yellow rain slicker on....

They sound like those Furry Families compacts.They were like Maple Town/Sylvanian families but the families were not flocked.I remember I used to own a few of these sets.The mole family lived in a boot as the squirrel family lived in a jelly jar.One time I tried Ebay and I found a few results on the Furry Families.

If that's not it, try Busy Bears.

They were the cutest things ever!!!

Is Busy Bear a Japanese toy?.The bear figure looks berry Sanrioish :hkhappy They even make me think of Maple Town/Sylvanian Families/Furry Families.

They're not sanrio, and I don't think they're Japanese. I know they were sold in the US in the 80s. The bears are very tiny and can fit into those little houses. Super cute!!!
