A Frog he would a-fishing go.


I had some time on my hands today and decided to spend some time with my Sylvanian critters.  
This is the first of five photos that I took today for a local Sylvanian Families photo competition hosted by Pegasus Toys on Facebook.

I was originally thinking of using something cute and cuddly like the other entries (and WAAAY less green...) for this particular photo, but then I walked past my display cabinet and saw these little guys just staring at me with those AWEFULLY-FREAKY-HUGE-EYES!!! @_@

To be honest, I usually turn the Bullrush frog family around to face the back of my cabinet (Yes, yes, I am terrible - I know...), but since we were hit by a mini-dust storm recently, I have been cleaning out and dusting my figures bit by bit since Monday. Inevitably I felt a little bad for my poor froggies and decided to turn them around to face the outside world like all of my other critters. 

The Bullrush frogs are OK as long as you don't stare into their eyes for too long and you have to turn them at a little bit of an angle for a photo, or else they stare right back at you through the camera lens and steal your soul...

    :D now I'm warned about frogs stealing my soul :D. They're really strange little Critters, but cute at the same time. I love the photo! Good, good luck for the contest! :)

      Thank you! They are strange, but the little details make them cute in a way. I still love the little webbed hands and feet on them. :D

    Good luck with the contest! The froggy family looks so cute in your picture! I can't put my critters on display because my house is so dusty! They need to remain inside a box!

      Thanks! I think they really are cute in their own strange way... O_O
      It takes a lot to make a frog look cute, so they get bonus points there.
      I know what you mean with the dust!!! I constantly have to dust my shelves even though I have them behind glass doors... I am planning on sealing the doors next year, but I will need some time to think this through. Another option is to install a small fan inside each shelf so that I have positive pressure inside the cabinets to push all dust out! Oh the options are endless!!!

      Thanks! The green is a little overpowering, but I think the froggies "blend in" quite well with their surroundings. :P
