The dogs take over the bakery

Honey Bee Acres Barksters & Pastry Shop

The four Barksters dogs boxed with the thirty-five-piece Pastry Shop and its exclusive mouse — five figures, a counter and a display case to keep stocked.

One box from the Honey Bee Acres line of flocked animal family playsets.

Cooper, Cooper, Gus and baby Theo arrive as the customers the shop was waiting for. Thirty-five pieces of cups, saucers, trays and pretend pastries mean there is enough to serve all four twice, and the display case is the part that gets rearranged daily.

The shop measures about eleven inches long, under eight deep and just over seven high, and it opens on one face for small hands. Every figure in the box is flocked, posable at head, arms and legs, and dressed in clothing that comes off.

This is a paired box rather than a new idea: the dog family and the pastry shop, packed together. Honey Bee Acres normally sells its animal families and playsets individually, and the pairs exist for the moment when one present has to do the work of two — here that means four characters and the counter they queue at. Nothing inside is exclusive to the pair; each half is the same box sold on its own elsewhere in the line, with the same three-inch poseable figures, the same interchangeable clothing and furniture and accessories at the one scale this flocked animal toys world has kept for years.

Honey Bee Acres is made and distributed by Sunny Days Entertainment. It belongs to a tradition of flocked animal toys that reached collectors from Japan decades ago and has barely changed since: round ears, soft coats and furniture cut to fit. Boxes are sold individually, so the village grows one at a time, and every poseable three-inch character shares the clothing, furniture and accessories of the whole line — one scale this animal toys world has held to for years.
