    Thrift store find- can any international members help?

    Found this today at the Salvation Army- it's from BERCHET in France, but I don't know anything else about it. The car & trailer are about 12" long, the figures (hedgehog? bear?) are 8" tall with rubber heads/hands. Clothing is really well-made. It's missing a few pots & pans I think and one of the car headlights is gone.
    I guess it's from a French cartoon series. Nothing on Ebay, found a few pieces on ebay.fr, but not these. No dates on it. loose pieces, no boxes.

    Anybody familar with this line? Ideas on it's worth?

    The title of the show is "les copains de la foret" which I believe is "Friends of the Forrest".

    Those are not Calico Critters or Sylvanian Families.

    As far as I can figure out they are from this cartoon:

    Forest Friends.

    Berchet Forest Friends Squirrel
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
