Maple Town

Maple Town Tonka 80's Toys

The Maple Town gang was a bunch of little personified animals, such as rabbits, bears, dogs, and the like, released by Tonka in the USA.  We say personified because they lived in bigger houses than the Governors of most states.  They had clothes to wear, furniture to sit on, and even little cars to drive.  The toy line was spawned from an 80's Japanese cartoon series that featured the adventures of Maple Town residents like Patty Rabbit, Freddy Fox, Donny Dog, Polly Pig, Marty Mouse, Bitsy Beaver, Mikey Mole and Bobby Bear.

Not only did the Tonka toy line include the character action figures from the show, but also building play sets a train, houses, outdoor sets, a bus, and many more.  Maple Town was very similar to the Sylvanian Family.
