Toy figures and collectible figures vary considerably in size, material, recommended age and intended use. A figure for everyday imaginative play needs to meet different requirements from an anime collectible designed for display. It’s also worth checking product details carefully when choosing children’s figures, animal figures, model cars and blind-box figures.
Small accessories, moving parts and removable pieces can pose a choking risk for children under three. An age recommendation such as ‘3+’ doesn’t replace checking the safety warnings. Depending on the product, supervision is sensible for children aged three to five, especially when they’re playing with small family, animal or fantasy figures.
With blind-box figures, you won’t know exactly what’s inside until you open the box. This means you could end up with duplicates if you buy several figures from the same series. If you’re looking for a particular anime figure or design, check whether you can choose a specific one. This usually isn’t possible with products that are assorted at random.
A 1:36 or 1:43 scale metal model car may be intended for display, while a product with a pull-back motor can also be played with. For LEGO sets and mini building bricks, you should also check the number and size of the pieces, as well as compatibility. Not every mini brick set works with familiar interlocking brick systems.
First, check the recommended age range and any warnings on the packaging and product page. Schleich figures such as a T-Rex, tarantula or foal are marked as play or collectible figures for a specific age and up. If a product has small parts, don’t continue using any that are damaged or have come loose. Products with small parts are generally unsuitable for children under three.
Figures can be made from materials including plastic, PVC, ABS, textile fibres and metal alloys. Material details, the finish on edges and care instructions are all worth considering when you buy. Many plastic figures can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Squishmallows plush toys should only be surface-cleaned as indicated on the product. Don’t machine-wash or tumble-dry them.
Direct sunlight, extreme heat and moisture can affect colours, fabrics and plastic surfaces. For collectibles, choose a dry, dust-protected place to store them.
A figure’s dimensions determine whether it will fit in your existing dolls’ house, display cabinet or play system. Sylvanian Families offers figures and accessories that can be combined within its product range. For model cars, scale markings such as 1:36, 1:43 or 1:44 help you gauge their actual size.
If you’re adding to an existing collection, check the series, base, nameplates and included accessories. For blind-box products, also check how many designs are in the series and whether a chase or special design has been announced.

The Sylvanian Families Chocolate Bunnies Sweet Dream Set, Sea Otter Snorkel figures and Squishmallows plush toys could also make lovely gifts for children and collectors. Animal figure collectors can choose from options including the Schleich T-Rex and tarantula. Always check the age recommendations and safety warnings given for each product.
We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Choose products with an appropriate age recommendation and clear safety warnings. According to their product details, Schleich animal figures, selected Sylvanian Families sets and certain plush toys are intended for children aged 3 and over. Small accessories need extra care around younger children.
A dry, dust-protected place away from direct sunlight is a good choice. Models with an acrylic cover can be protected from dust even further. Check figures regularly for loose parts, damage and changes in colour.
It depends on the specific age recommendation and the small parts included. Many blind-box figures aren’t suitable for children under 3 because they contain small parts. Parents should also bear in mind that the design is selected at random, so you may get a duplicate or need to swap figures.
