In 1983 LEGO released 8 Fabuland sets. The largest Fabuland set from 1983 was
3627 Bonnie Bunny with a piece count of 18 and a retail price of $5.25. The current estimated value of all these Fabuland sets from this year is about $918.52 which represents a 2174% growth.
The Fabuland theme included sets that depicted the land of Fabuland and introduced Fabuland Figures, characters with human-like bodies with various animal heads. Fabuland was the first LEGO theme to introduce named characters that focused around a story and was the first LEGO theme to feature licensed products such as storybooks, playing cards, children’s clothing and animated TV series to enhance the playing experience through storytelling and role play. The FABULAND figures have heads of a mammal, a reptile or a bird sometimes topped by a peaked hat, and arms and legs with motion very similar to LEGO minifigures.

This theme's emergence allowed children to delve into historical and fantasy-based narratives, building and role-playing epic battles and legendary tales. Additionally, the Duplo line, aimed at younger children, was further enriched.
