⭐️NEW⭐️ Calico Critters 2022 Cozy Cottage Starter Home REVIEW & comparison! Sylvanian Families 

I will eventually buy this one. I have all the other red roof homes and I love to put them together to make one huge mansion!

So glad you are back doing Critters. The comparison video is very helpful and informative. Thank you for all your work.

Thank you very, very much for this video 😀😀😀 The comparison is really helpful. I think that they are reducing costs where possible. A trend I can see in several Playmobil sets and buildings as well, which I can understand to a certain point but I prefer quality toys to remain quality toys. Because that's the reason why I like them so much. Thanks again 🥰

Thank you for the comparison! I was trying to decide, If the new one had the windows and bed covering from the old one it would be perfect, but since the new one is available cheaper for me I'll get that one 🙃

I just bought this house to customize it! I am disappointed with the lack of mattress, but since I’m going to completely paint and change most of it, I think it’s alright. My favorite part is the sink! It’s not the best play set, I’ve owned the oldest starter house and this one now, the oldest one is the best one in my opinion!

I have the older version and I’m excited to add it to the red roof country home.

It have good and bad thinks on both the best would be to mix them up to have the perfect one. I hate the bed with no mattress I guess I will have to make one myself.

I Used to own one of the really old starter homes but it broke after a while im pretty sad that i gave it away but the only thing that wasn't broken was the bed the bench and the kitchen set

The table being round in the newer version instead of rectangular in the old version, doesn’t create the illusion of a bigger home. If that makes sense. I love the rectangular table and chairs, way better. You sold me on getting the older version. 💕💕

The mailbox looks so cool! 😍 I don't think I'll get it though as it's so similar. If there had been a bigger gap between the 2 red roof cosy cottages then maybe I would have. The door is really pretty though. Why can't they make a whole new house, change the layout/shape a little instead of just tweaking existing houses?

I normally use youtube signed out but i just come on here to say i love your channel! also she is called freya here in the uk so that may be why.

No mattress on the bed?! Lame. How expensive is a tiny piece of foam? Geez lol

i want to get it but can you tell me which one i should get? the new or old? please reply 🥰

I don’t have any houses yet, but I’m limited on space. The Red Roof Cozy Cottage is the only house that will fit on my bookcase shelf. Now I just have to decide whether to get the new one because of the mailbox, or both so I have more living space for my critters. 😂

I ended up chosing the newer version (it hasn't arrived yet) on the account that the table is round and smaller, and as such takes less space which allows more freendom with the downstairs space. I hadn't noticed the round railings, nor the mailbox or the red detail painting in the upstairs before buying which makes it look so much nicer! The new one is definitely the stand out, I'm happy to conclude! With that said, I also wish they'd kept the old windows. I don't know how I feel about the pink furniture but I've acquired an bedroom set which comes with the tradicional bed so that's not gonna be a problem.

Personally I think it’s a downgrade as each year the release sets they get cheaper and cheaper quality why cant we have flair quality again and get flair to take over Sylvanian families again like epoch is just getting cheaper and cheaper and I hate it.

As much as I love that mailbox, I'll probably give this one a miss as I already own 3 starter homes! 😆 One I received as a gift and the other two I picked up second hand which I've been considering painting. Not sure how that'll end up though as I've never painted a dolls house before! 🤔 Oh I wish they would release one with a different coloured roof! 😹

Thank you for this comparison. I am new to critters and I just bought this as my first starter home. It was interesting to see what the older one had. I am happy with it although I wish they had kept the cute window shutters. 😊

I was on the fence about this one so I’m glad you did the side by side comparison. I don’t know that it is enough of a difference for me to get it. I’m currently revamping older critter homes with paint to get some variety

I LOVE the NEW version! Like the caramel color instead of brown, love the upstairs walls are now red, love the mailbox, and love the pastel pink bed and stove! I think it's a definite upgrade. I am definitely getting this one.😊

It’s interesting that the character has different names, in Russia, she’s called Maria

It was so interesting to see these compared side by side. I have the old, old version so haven't gotten either of these newer versions but the downgrade in quality of the furniture across each iteration is very obvious, that new metallic plastic is not very pleasing to the eye at all! The fact the bed doesn't come with pillow or mattress is also disheartening. The house itself has some cute additions, I love the ladder, curved railings and mailbox but losing the shutters is a downgrade, so mixed bag on that one. The fork with the handle makes me irrationally annoyed, just bring back the gripping hands and problem solved 😂 As for the Freya name on the box I saw a post (which I annoyingly now can't remember where) that linked to the new official US website where they have a post about assimilating all the names to be the same worldwide, so all the characters will adopt the Japanese/UK names going forward.

Does the lighter color of the walls of the 2022 version Cozy Cottage matches the Sweet Raspberry Home when put together? Btw, great video as always

I seen that with the current red roof country home, you can stack this house on top with it so both sides of the country home have 3 stories right? I have the older country home that I got in 2017ish, can this house stack on it or would I have to buy the newer country home?? 🤔

found the new one on amazon for 20.99! finally bought it because I think that’s a fair price. It will be here wednesday☺️☺️

this bed 😬😬

absolutely obsessed with your content! just wondering, do you own the hamburger resturant? i have it but i don't hear too much about it 💕💕

I have the new one of the cozy cottage

❤

This is so cute!!! I got some critters today i got the Persian cat triplets !!💗

also i think the "red stuff" is strawberry jam

I like the new house

I got this for christmas

Thanks so much for this side by side review! I loved the mailbox on this one but held off because of too many similarities and didn’t even pay attention to the lack of window shutters - that’s a downgrade. The new door is very pretty as are the curved railings. But what a disappointment they’re getting so cheap with the piping detail under the sink! And no mattress? Makes no sense. Ugh - when will they get the message that the furniture is going downhill! I treated myself to the red roof tower instead. I assume since this was a Japan release they kept the name Freya. As if we need more of that bunny in her red dress! Very helpful review!

That is ketchup on the egg! It's a Japanese dish called omurice. It's basically an omelet with fried rice inside and ketchup on top. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omurice
