are sylvanian families and calico critters the same
Sylvanian Families In 1993, Tomy, who had been distributing the toys worldwide, lost the rights to the name "Sylvanian Families" in Canada and the USA.[citation needed] Tomy reintroduced the line under the new name Calico Critters of Cloverleaf Corners, now simply just called Calico Critters.
