“The **Cornelius Cat (Fabuland)** set from 1982 is a delightful throwback, featuring the exclusive Cornelius Cat figure with a rare blue torso and charming accessories like a unique fishing pole and frying pan. The fishing pole, a durable and nostalgic piece, offers play potential and versatility beyond Fabuland settings. Though simple, the set captures the whimsical spirit of Fabuland, making it a great addition for collectors and fans of vintage LEGO alike.”
 

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 Charlie Cat the Fisherman set 3701 was released in September 1982, retailing for $4, but has since been retired. New, unopened Charlie Cat the Fisherman sets are valued at $56, while used sets can be found for $7 in good condition.

Great adventures for small children. Stories to build, play and collect. Small children have a strong urge to make up worlds of their own. The animal figures make it easy for children to act out exciting stories. Large pieces make building quick and easy, and story books in the model sets tell delightful tales for children to build.
