5096 Landklinik - Puppenhaus Spielset | Retired, Collectable

Description

If your Sylvanian has the hiccups and wants to nip it in the bud, or they've fallen over and grazed their paw while playing hide 'n' seek, then this is just the place to get them better. As well as the Country Clinic, this set also comes with everything you would expect to find in a doctor's practice, including a reception desk and plenty of reading material, an outfit for your very own Sylvanian Doctor, and all the examination instruments they might need including a stethoscope, scales and clipboard. With more than 30 pieces included, this set is just the medicine you need to get your Sylvanians feeling perky again. The Country Clinic can also be connected with Beachwood Hall and the Cosy Cottage Starter Home, making it just the thing the doctor ordered. Review: So excited - Good Review: doctor and nurse sets - I bought the “Country Doctor” and the “Country Nurse” sets for the Sylvanian Families lover in the household as a reward for trying hard with her school work. . COUNTRY DOCTOR/CLINIC The box calls this “Country Doctor” but no “doctor” is included – in fact no animal included in the set, just a white doctor’s coat. This is the disappointing thing about a set of this size – others we have of the same size have had an animal included but not the “Country Doctor”. There are 26 stickers to apply and 10 push out and fold boxes and (2) magazines. If you have a small child you will have to apply the stickers and create the boxes, etc, yourself. We do ours before it is handed over to the small one. A major thing to beware of are the number of tiny plastic pieces involved – we assessed the contents before handing them to the little one. We gave her the ones which we deemed her to be old enough for and sensible enough for. Even though she is quite young she is quite sensible and is long past the stage of sticking things in her mouth, nose or ears, but every child is different so you may want to withhold some of the tiny plastic items like the thermometer, syringe, medicine bottles, tweezers, etc. Mostly she tends to place the items where she wants them and then moving the animals around the buildings and the “land” outside. The clinic comes with a table and an office chair for when the Doctor writes his notes up; a reception desk and bench for waiting patients and relatives, the patients will have to balance on a stool while talking to the doctor. There is an examination table, a height measure and bathroom/medical scales. Included is a small cast should one of the animals break a leg or foot. The Clinic is a stackable building which means that you can turn your single story Clinic into a multi-story hospital with the Clinic acting as Outpatients/Casualty and the Cosy Cottage acting as the hospital for in-patients or overnight stays. The attic room became the staff on-call/rest area. Overall the building and contents are excellent, as is all the tiny medical equipment included. What a shame that they didn’t include a “doctor” animal in the “Doctor” set. . COUNTRY NURSE SET This set comes with a pale fawn/cream coloured bunny in a pink nurse’s outfit and she is a little cutie. As well as a wheelchair and a treatment trolley the box has a lot of tiny pieces; everything from kidney dishes and dishes with lids to a hot water bottle, thermometer, ointment tubes, syringe and scissors which actually open and close. I counted 23 small items in total in our box (not including the wheelchair and the trolley. There are no stickers to apply, though there is one box to put together. Also in the small plastic bag are two small pieces of material (which I think are meant to be dressings), a blanket to keep your patient warm, a strip of material (probably meant to be a bandage) and a pair of slippers. This is a really nice set but it did emphasise the lack of animal in the bigger build. The Sylvanian fan has asked for a repeat of this set to add to the medical equipment and add another nurse to the hospital staff – though, apparently, she is going to make the bunny into the doctor and add a squirrel to the set as another nurse. . I hope that the lack of an animal in the “Doctor” set doesn’t mean that the company is making cutbacks on what they are including in their sets.
