The Grunt Pig Family
FATHER RICHARD E. GRUNT is a builder and a very good one. He builds lots of houses of all shapes, sizes and materials in the woods of Sylvania, as well as garden walls, shops and schools. No job is too big or small for Richard E.
MOTHER CONSTANCE GRUNT, like her name suggests is constantly preparing food for her large, hungry family. Pastries for breakfast, biscuits and tarts for snacks, at least five vegetables for the main meals as well as puddings, it never ends!
BROTHER HUGH GRUNT is a 'chip off the old block' and hopes to become a builder like his dad. He has built his own den and treehouse in the garden as well as drawing up plans for a shed to store his tools; just like his father's shed!
SISTER MAY GRUNT is a slave to fashion. She spends her time scanning magazines and shops for the latest designer outfits along with all the must-have accessories. Once she has chosen her new look, she then works out how to alter her clothes to create her new outfit.
TRIPLET BABIES LITTLE, MINOR AND TINY GRUNT are always hungry and ready to eat their parents out of house and home. As Richard E., their father remarks to his wife Constance “At least they will eat anything and aren't picky with their food!”

FATHER MITCHELL GRUNT is a decorator. Usually, when his brother Richard has built a house, Mitchell will then decorate it to suit the new inhabitants tastes. He is a dab hand with a paintbrush and leaves every house looking beautiful. The only trouble is, he spends so much time decorating for other people that his own house hasn't been decorated in ages, much to his wife Peggy's dismay!
MOTHER PEGGY GRUNT is a very creative lady, often making her own curtains, tablecloths etc. She has been waiting for her husband to decorate their house for the last two years now, he always says “But I am decorating the new house Richard has built!”. Peggy has said if he doesn't decorate their house soon she will get Richard to build them a new one!
SISTER VERONICA GRUNT can often be found with her cousin May, scouring all the dress shops in the village, hunting for a new outfit. Veronica loves adding accessories to her outfits also, and you will often find her hunting for a nice item of jewellery to go with her outfits.
BABY BROTHER PHILIP GRUNT can get very grumpy, a mood his parents are hoping he will grow out of as he gets older. Often he will sit in his playpen, red faced for no reason! His father is putting it down to him teething.
BABY BROTHER HARRY GRUNT is already showing signs of being like his sister Veronica, following fashion. He always follows her along when she goes to the shops, wearing his smartest outfit and his favourite hat.
The Grunt Pig family were originally launched in Japan as an exclusive 'Sylvanian Market' family in 2007. When the family were launched into the UK market in 2009, they had a brother and sister figure added. The triplet babies were available in the 'Calico Critters' range wearing the usual baby romper suits. In 2012/2013 an easy buy version of the family were launched into the European range, consisting of the family of three set with the baby available seperately. The Easy Buy family had no names or biographies, so I created my own. The baby figure in green was originally a baby key-chain figure from Japan, which I removed the chain from.
