The Columbus Rabbit Family
FATHER LAWRENCE COLUMBUS has just sailed into Sylvania, another epic sea voyage behind him. This brave seafaring captain just loves life on the ocean wave and is happy to go where the tradewinds take him. Of course, everyone in Sylvania looks forward to his return with equal pleasure. The children can't wait to hear about his latest adventures, especially as mermaids, lost underwater cities and even the mysterious Sylvania Triangle regularly feature in his tales!
MOTHER DORIS COLUMBUS always accompanies her husband whenever he sets off on one of his 'mystery voyages', as she likes to call them. She says she is not sure he would ever find his way back otherwise! She keeps herself busy by writing the captains log, a daily account of all the activities and events on the ship. It's also her job to make sure everyone on board has healthy meals with lots of fruit and vegetables. She suspects they would all eat out of tins if it wasn't for her!
BROTHER TRISTAN COLUMBUS loves life at sea just as much as his father does. He is busy learning all the ropes and has high hopes that one day he will be a ship's captain too. Just at the moment though his job as a cabin boy keeps him very busy. His tasks range from swabbing decks and tying knots to polishing the brass buttons on the captain's uniform. When he gets bigger Tristan is hoping that his father will finally allow him to climb up the mast and be the first one to spot land.
SISTER MORGAN COLUMBUS sometimes wishes that her family would spend a little more time on land! She knows just how lucky she is to go on all these seafaring adventures with them, but she is always glad when her father decides to set sail for home. Everyone knows when Morgan is particularly happy as she can be heard singing one of her favorite sea shanties. She has a lovely voice but her brother Tristan always makes out his ears are hurting and pretends to jump overboard!
BABY SISTER NESSIE COLUMBUS always goes along on the voyages too. Her mother thinks she is the most well-behaved baby in the world as the motion of the waves lulls her to sleep so quickly!
BABY SISTER NEPTUNE COLUMBUS loves being at sea with her family. She is always following her brother Tristan around on the deck, trying to emulate his actions. The trouble is, her little hands are not very good for tying the big knots, and when the deck is being swabbed, she ends up making it messier than it was before!
The Columbus Rabbit Family were released in the UK as one of the 'Celebration Families' in 2012. They were a boxset of five figures (the baby in blue was a keychain JP figure). They were labelled as the 'Seabreeze Celebration Family'. They were released as part of the 25 year anniversary of Sylvanian Families in the UK. They had originally been released in Japan as a very limited run family in 2008, available only in the Port of Yokohoma. They were very rare to find until the Flair release.
