The Huntington Tan Bear Family
FATHER BERTIE HUNTINGTON is a miller, living with his family in 'The Old Mill', on a hill overlooking the whole village. He is kept busy, supplying the Oakwood family with flour for their bakery, also he is so kind he gives bags of flour to his friends when they come to call!
MOTHER TAMSIE HUNTINGTON is a very good baker. She loves making cakes and puddings, especially if they have tasty fruits and berries in them.
SISTER KATY HUNTINGTON loves collecting ingredients for her mother. Every day she fills a big basket with fruit and berries on her way home from school. She loves it when autumn arrives, as she can pick blackberries on the bramble bushes on the way up the hill.
BROTHER DIGGORY HUNTINGTON always helps his father deliver the flour on Saturdays. He's getting very strong carrying all those heavy bags about!
BABY TWINS JEREMY AND LUCY HUNTINGTON are known as the 'Terrible Twins', as they are always making a noise and being naughty, except when Honeysuckle Evergreen is looking after them, as they love to listen to her reading them stories.

GRANDFATHER HUMBERT HUNTINGTON has retired as the village miller, preferring to spend his time tending to his garden. He also has a patch in his garden where he grows plenty of fruit and vegetables, keeping his daughter-in-law Tamsie with a constant supply of fillings for her pies!
GRANDMOTHER HANNAH HUNTINGTON enjoys helping her daughter-in-law Tamsie in the kitchen baking. Hannah makes the most delicious pies, and the family look forward to their evening meal of pie and vegetables, smothered in delicious gravy, made to Hannah's secret recipe, which she has promised to one day pass on to Tamsie.
The Huntington family were released in the UK in 1990, as an exclusive token collector family. They were unavailable in the shops, and you could only get them by collecting forty five tokens to get the main four figures, and each baby figure cost fifteen tokens. They were also called the Honey-Bear family in the UK, the Huntington name is the US name. I have called this version Huntington, as Flair re-released the Honey-Bear family in the UK in 2010, however, they used the new smaller bear mould, making the family look entirely different. I have kept the new Honey-Bear family with the name, and used the surname of the US release for this version. The grandparent figures were a US exclusive, being very hard to find in the present day. The new version of the family did not have grandparent figures, however it did get uncle figures in various play set releases.
