please help me ID this little guy!

[dustygusty]

Hi there. I need an ID.......DEsPRATELY! I have been trying to find where this little guy comes from, and I just can't seem to find his home. I thought at first that maybe he was from the paw prints club, but the paw prints club bunny looks different, is in a different pose, and different colors. Maybee I am just a newbie, and I'm somehow overlooking it ,so please excuse my lack of knowledge if it is so.

Hi I have almost every vintage littlest pet shop set (very familiar with all of them) and I have never seen that little guy. I had been informed by beanie that kenner made a line of dolls that came with little pets exactly like the LPS pets so that might be what it's from. I have a little white sitting up bunny that I know doesn't belong to any of the sets and I'm not sure what it goes to either!

[SilverHealer]

Maybe it goes with the set that has the mother bunny and all her little babies?

littlestpetshop.50webs.com/mommyandbabies.htm

The bunnies are at the bottom...there seem to be color variations and the main photo of them loose shows the mother as white, when I've only ever seen her as brown (like in the bottom picture, where I also see a baby bunny similar to that one you have I hope this helps!

[starswirl]

Very good observation SilverHealer But I don't think that it belongs to either of those sets. The mommy & baby bunnies set came in 2 variations (both shown on Zuses' website) which never included yellow bunnies (only brown, white & grey). Also, the pink inside the ears and nose is much darker than the light pink in the bunny sets.

Thanks starswirl, your probably right, it must be from another toy line. The other strange thing about this little guy is that none of the other bunnies are in this pose, this is the first of this mold I have ever seen. do you know by any chance what the other dolls made by kenner were called?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what those dolls were called. The little white bunny I have that doesn't match any of the sets is also in a weird pose that I have never seen any of the other bunnies in.

Maybe it came with one of those sets that had those little babies (human)? There were a bunch of playsets. I remember I had one that came with one or two babies, a purple swing, and a white kitten with I think either brown or black spots. It looked exactly like an lps kitten but it wasn't. So maybe your bunny came with one of those sets? I don't remember what they were called.

Hi everybody,

I think I might be able to help you a little bit. I believe the line of Kenner dolls was called Baby Buddies (there's a set on ebay right now so you can see what they look like). I have one of the little dolls somewhere, but I can't seem to locate her right now. When they came out, I actually bought the sets just for the LPS-like pet and gave most the dolls and accessories to my niece.

I believe I have 4 of the pets from this line...I'll try to get pics of them for you sometime tonight (or at least soon), but they're in my nearly inaccessible closet right now. However, I can give you a bit of a description from memory of the ones I have:

-A little white bunny that has her arms out and is weighted in the bottom; she's like a little Weeble Wobble. (Is this, by chance, like the one you have starswirl?)

-A little brown pup that kind of stood-up, paws hooked onto the back of the doll's scooter; pup looked a little like a Yorkie.

-One kitten that is white with gray spots in a seated pose; tail wrapped around its feet a little.

-Another white with gray spots kitten, this one's pose is a little hard to describe; it was kind of crouched, but with its head turned to the side, and its tail stuck straight up if I remember correctly.

I think this line of toys is probably where your bunny came from dustygusty, though I don't remember seeing that piece specifically; there was a lot of the Baby Buddies I didn't get [it was hard to justify spending $10 for just wanting the one, sometimes two, little animals ].

So I'll leave you with that info and go attempt to access most of my dear LPS collection. Wish me luck.

Are you sure it isn't the Paw Prints Pet? littlestpetshop.50webs.com/pawprintclub.htm
I just can't tell from this picture what position the ear is in, though...

You're right. I think it's a different pose.

I have a question: I have a little rat/mouse that went with one of the sets. It's Paw Print is a sticker... not a painted-on silver one. Which mouse is this?

[styxlver82]

Hi zuse, are you talking about the mouse from the Purry Kittens set? Off-hand, that's the only one I know of that has a sticker instead of the usual paw print medallion.

I just now found my little pets from the Baby Buddies line...I even found one I had forgotten about, a little orangish-brown kitten. I'm off to get a bite to eat, then I'll take photos and try to post them for you guys.

[starswirl]

Yes Leah!! That is the little white bunny I have!! So glad to know that that is what it comes from!

[beanie]

Thanks for confirming that Baby Buddies is the name of that line, Leah - I couldn't be totally positive as I didn't really collect them for the actual dolls, so didn't remember much about them. XD I also came up pretty empty on google searches so started to wonder if that was actually the name or if they were called something else....

But yup, Baby Buddies came with pets who were either straight out of the LPS line or highly resembled them, and they all featured the silver pawprint tag! Way to make it confusing for us, Hasbro, haha. They had some really cool sets as far as accessories went. => My favourite was the Splash 'n Slide set.

I remember looking when starswirl and I were trying to figure out the white bunny for some kind of an ID site, but came up totally empty. Surely somebody out there really collected those things and would put together a site sometime... X3

[styxlver82]

Yay! Glad I could be of some help. Here's the pictures I promised (li'l buggers took awhile to get decent pics of) just in case anybody is curious what some of the other pets in the line looked like:







And I have doubles of these last two cuties:




Enjoy!
Leah

[papercut]

styxlver82, haha I actually think I had all of those! Guess I forgot some... but yeah I definitely had all the ones in your pictures! I wish I still had the sitting and crouching kittens... ^^;

[beanie]

Thanks SO much for those... I think many of those guys are hanging out in my "what the heck are these from?" bag. And now I know what the heck they are from. X3
