Picture Name Notes
Adventure Tree House Had a 2019 Japan and 2020 UK release, as well as a 2022 UK gift set version that came with extra accessories.
Babblebrook Grange Has a light-up fountain that changes colours. Released in 2007 in Japan as "The Fountain House" or "House with Magical Fountain" and in 2009 in the UK as Babblebrook Grange.
Bakery 1988 Tomy UK release. The earlier Japanese version didn't have side walls.
Red Roof Country Home 2019/2020. Can connect to the Red Roof Cosy Cottage. Very similar to Beechwood Hall which had a Flair 2010 UK release and a later Epoch UK release known as City House with Lights and could connect to the Cosy Cottage. Also similar to Willow Hall (2004) but is much nicer. Both the Red Roof Country Home and Beechwood Hall are very nice, but the RRCH is newer and so is much easier to find.
Blackcurrant Cafe 2012 Flair UK
Brick Oven Bakery Originally a 2015 or 2016 Epoch UK release, but pictured is the Gift Set Edition that came with more accessories.
Classic Colour Red Roof Country Home A special release of the Red Roof Country Home with different (nicer) colours. Very very similar to Beechwood Hall and Willow Hall. Only available online and at the Sylvanian Families Pop Up Shop in London.
Country Manor 1989 Tomy UK exclusive. Hard to find and has a working chandelier.
Courtyard Restaurant Originally a 2008 Japan release where it is known as the Chocolate Rabbit's Kitchen. The later Courtyard Home UK Gift Set is very similar, but I slightly prefer the original stickers. Still nice though.
Deluxe Celebration Home A 2020 Japanese and UK release for the franchise's 35th anniversary. Had three versions, the regular Deluxe Celebration Home which just came with the house, the Gift Set version, which came with the Persian Cat parents and triplet babies as well as furniture, and the Premium Set, which came with furniture and two exclusive Persian Cat sister figures. The house itself is the same in all three versions.
Field View Mill Originally released in 2003 (I think?) by Flair in the UK. Later had a 2010 Flair UK release, and a later Epoch release.
Grand Hotel and Royal Hotel The Grand Hotel (pictured) had a few releases but was originally a 2007 Flair UK release. The later 2010 Flair UK Royal Hotel is the same mould but red and is also very nice. No real preference.
Grocery Market Unsure of original release, but at least had a 2018 Epoch UK release. Includes a tiny credit card!
Harrods Department Store 2009 Flair UK. Only available from Harrods. Same mould as other department stores (and is almost identical to the Applewood Department Store) but with Harrods branding.
Applewood Department Store Unsure of original release year, but I think it was a Flair UK release
Forest Restaurant From 1993 in Japan. Later released in the UK as the Harvester Restaurant, but with different colours and different accessories. Both are very nice.
The Harvester Restaurant From 1994 by Tomy in the UK. The UK release of the Forest Restaurant, but with different colours and different accessories. Both are very nice.
Highfields Farm House 2011 Flair UK exclusive
Oakwood Manor House 2004 Flair UK. Hard to find. It is a recolour of the 2000 or 2001 Flair UK House on the Hill, which had a green roof and is also very nice but I prefer these colours ever so slightly. Had a later recolour in 2008 as the Hilltop Manor with a blue roof. They might have all come with different furniture sets but I'm not sure. Preference goes 1: Oakwood Manor, 2: House on the Hill, 3: Hilltop Manor.
House of Brambles Department Store 2003 Flair UK. The first department store released. The two-storey version was exclusive to the UK. At some point there was a single-storey Spain-exclusive release.
John Lewis Department Store 2010 Flair UK, exclusive to actual John Lewis stores.
Lavender House Limited edition exclusive to the Japanese collector's club in 2016. Hand-painted and comes with wallpaper. I believe it is a recolour of the Maple Manor with Carport, which is also very nice as much much easier to find.
Miniature House Shop/Sylvanian Toy Shop Originally released in 2002 in Japan as the Miniature House Shop. Was later released in 2009 by Flair in the UK as the Sylvanian Toy Shop and is very similar but with a blue roof. The original Japanese version is very rare. Both are super cute and I don't really prefer one over the other.
Old Oak Hollow Tree House 2008 Flair UK
Patisserie 2006 Japan (exclusive?). Came with a little birthday cake with a candle you could blow out!
Photo Studio 2004 Japan exclusive
Post Office Originally a 1992 Tomy UK release. Had a few later releases but I think they're all pretty much the same.
Irish Post Office A 2009 Flair release exclusive to Ireland. Very rare but very cool!
Red Roof Grand Mansion 2019. Can be acquired in two ways, by buying it as its own full building, or by combining the Red Roof Country Home and the Red Roof Cosy Cottage.
Red Roof Tower Home 2020
Sainsbury's Grocery Shop 2010 Flair Release exclusive to Sainsbury's stores. The Bear who came with it is named John Sainsbury!
Seaside Restaurant Unsure of original release. At least had a 2015 Epoch UK release. Might have had an earlier Flair release too?
Supermarket 2016 Epoch UK
Sylvanian Market 1998 Japanese exclusive based on the Sylvanian Markets in Japan.
Toy Shop 2015 Epoch UK
Village Bakery Originally a 1998 Tomy UK release. Had a later 2003 Flair UK release with more accessories.
Village Cake Shop Unsure of original release but at least had a 2017 UK release.
Grocery Store/Village Store Originally a 1991 Japan release. Later had a 1992 Tomy UK and 1993 Tomy US release. The UK Tomy release included cool advertising signs that the original Japanese version didn't have, and painted the scales and coffee grinder black and gold, while the original Japanese version had them as a solid red. But the original Japanese version actually had little sweets filling the sweet jars, so it's a bit of a tradeoff. The US version is pretty much the UK version with fewer accessories.
Water Mill Bakery Originally a 2007 Japanese release. Had a 2008 Flair UK release that was basically the same but came with an exclusive figure.
Watermill A rare 1987 Japanese-exclusive release
Delicious Restaurant 2017, part of the Town Series
Elegant Town Manor 2018, part of the Town Series
Fashion Boutique 2019, part of the Town Series
Grand Department Store 2018, part of the Town Series
Royal Hotel 2022, part of the Town Series. Not to be confused with the earlier UK-exclusive Royal Hotel.
Mushroom House 1996 Japanese exclusive, part of the Misty Forest series. Very rare.
Cafe Terrace 1988 Japanese exclusive, part of the Urban Life series. Very rare.
Green Urban House 1987 Japanese exclusive, part of the Urban Life series. Very rare. Was later recoloured into the Country Manor, also on this list.
Sylvanian Kitchen Cake Shop A 2000 Japanese-exclusive release at The Sylvanian Kitchen, a Sylvanian themed restaurant chain. Connects to the Sylvanian Kitchen Restaurant.
Sylvanian Kitchen Restaurant A 2000 Japanese-exclusive release at The Sylvanian Kitchen, a Sylvanian themed restaurant chain. Connects to the Sylvanian Kitchen Cake Shop.
Campervan Originally a 2012 Flair release, later had an Epoch release. There's a yellow version and a turquoise version, and I prefer the turquoise one.
Waterside Canal Boat: Grace 2012 Flair UK release. There are other canal boat releases and they are all nice, but this one is my favourite.
Fish and Chips Van There is a 2012 Flair and 2014 Epoch UK version, both pretty much the same.
Village Bus 2000 Flair UK. A recoloured version of the Country Bus (1992 and 2005) and the Woodland Bus (2010). They are all very nice, this is just my favourite by a slim margin.
Ice Cream Wagon/Ice Cream Van Originally a 2011 Japanese release, later had a 2012 Flair UK release. The UK version is white and called the Ice Cream Van, and the Japanese version is blue and called the Ice Cream Wagon. Otherwise they are very similar. No real preference, they're both nice.
Motorcycle and Sidecar 2010 Flair UK exclusive
Red Vintage Car Also called the Sylvanian Sports Car
