“The set mainly consists of a table and chair. The table is a single piece, and is made of a single wide support beam, which connects into a flat (except for a 2X2 square of studs in the center), round brown tabletop. The chair is also brown, and also a single piece. It has... More two studs situated near the front of its seat, so that a Fabuland figure can sit on it. Two yellow mugs are included in the set, and Elton Elephant himself carries a yellow umbrella, made of a single stalk piece attached to a wide top.”

“The LEGO Fabuland 3601 Elton Elephant is a charming introduction to the whimsical Fabuland theme. Designed for young builders transitioning from DUPLO, this set includes a detailed Elton Elephant figure, an umbrella, table, chair, and cups, making it small but endearing with just seven pieces. Its unique anthropomorphic design and the playful story featured in the instructions capture the nostalgic charm of Fabuland, appealing to both collectors and fans of vintage LEGO.”
 

About Fabuland

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.
Summary
Fabuland Elton Elephant set 3601 was released in May 1981, retailing for $4, but has since been retired. New, unopened Elton Elephant sets are valued at $262, while used sets can be found for $8.
