The Hospital Cat is a female in the US?! I always though the orange Cats
were male, the white ones female... wherever, in my Hospital book the Cat is
a male named Tony ;). My favourite one, by the way!
I have antoher question... why they quit doing Fabuland? It is
sooooooooooooo beautiful......................................

I lost the US version of the Hospital instructions. I would love to scan it for
you, because that is so weird.
Here’s my theory as to why they discontinued Fabuland:
The whites of their eyes! When they changed the figures from the black eyes with
two white dots to the human-like eyes with whites and eyeballs, the line fell
apart. I believe the reason they changed the eyes was to match a popular British
claymation series about Fabuland characters which helped Fabuland sales. The
characters in the series had human-type eyes so I think they changed the line to
match it. However, the new figures look really freaky and probably gave children
nightmares. To me it looked like zombie Fabuland and I had to hide the new
figures in a drawer. Consequently, they added clothing to the torsos as well
which ended up in ridiculous figures like this one:
It’s Lionel Lion the pimp!
I still check my closet for those eyes before I go to bed...
