I remember collecting these tiny little figurines, only about 2-2.5cm tall.  You could get babies, cats and dogs, and they all connected together to form bracelets.  I have a feeling they might have come with a few in a pack because I ended up with a few doubles, and you got little bit of plastic for the bracelet band as well.  I also remember stumbling across (or saving up money or something) to get the playset that went with it, and it was a pink set of 6 drawers with a carrying handle and purple drawer knobs.  The two drawers at the bottom were joined and pulled out as storage space for the figurines, and the top 4 opened out like a wardrobe to a playset with like a slide and loose beds and prams and stuff.  All it says on the base of that is "1999 Original San Francisco Toymakers".  Searched everywhere but no idea what they were called... :) No pictures yet, though I can take some if needed!  Help appreciated :D Drawers have a nice big scratch on the outside, but otherwise they're in good nic because after collecting them, I think I got bored pretty quickly.  ;D

That was it! :D Thanks!  Attempting the big task of going through all of my old stuff and seeing if any of it is worth anything. xD They were fun to collect.  Not sure I ever had a checklist though!

However my beads came not in little bags but sealed packets? Those little blind bags are definitely not what to had.

Glad my post could help someone else!  :)  It was driving me nuts too, because I had so many and the playset, but the only identifying text was the copyright, and as much as I googled, I had no success.  I think mine came in the same bags as posted, but I honestly can't remember.  I don't remember having the catalogues I don't think, because I keep everything, and haven't seen them anywhere.

Totally new to me but so cute.  What a lovely and fun idea.   Better than those normal bracelets.  ;)
