BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This Belville set offers a colorful garden scene featuring a fully articulated figure, two playful puppies, a larger dog, and a parrot. The unique animal molds and pastel-toned elements make it a good source of rare pieces and accessories. While simple in design, it captures the lighthearted theme effectively and highlights the distinctive style of mid-1990s Belville builds.”
 

About Belville

The Belville theme which was introduced in 1994 and later discontinued in 2009 was created to appeal primarily to girls. While the sets revolved around the concept of the LEGO system it featured doll-like figures known as Belville Figures instead of regular LEGO minifigures. The Belville Figures featured multiple joints to make play more like normal doll play and were larger than minifigures. The Belville theme was the predecessor to LEGO Friends.
