I have been looking for this JP Cotton Rabbit figure ever since I saw a photo of the figure at a Japanese collector's website. I am sooo excited (!!) to be able to track one down and add her to my own collection. The special figure is an adult size and came with her own Crepe shop.
Isn't she simply adorable? I love the details of her dress and the little triangular bandana thing on her head. Mother Rabbit does look like she sells waffles and crepes in that outfit.
The Crepe House in my photo above is the UK Flair version (I was lazy as I had it unboxed and displayed already) with the roof/awnings of the shop in the colors yellow and green. The Crepe House set that comes with the figure have blue and white awnings/roof, matching the colors of the Cotton Rabbit's outfit. Below is the promo picture on the box of the special Crepe House set:

The special Crepe shop and Cottontail Rabbit set was released in 2001. Other accessories included with the set is a bench and a waste bin with umbrella stand. For further comparison, the JP Crepe House which was released in 1999 has pink and white awnings/roof. This JP Crepe House does not come with a figure, or the bench and umbrella stand:
Apart from the color theme of the awnings/roof and the little Crepe House signage, all the little accessories that come with the Crepe shop such as the crepes, pancake-maker, tongs etc are exactly the same.
I guess it's good news for the Sylvanian critters to have so many different Crepe shops they can visit. Maybe sometimes they feel like buying waffles from the Pink Crepe House, and other times they like the taste of the crepes from the Blue Crepe House. Mother Rabbit has settled down quickly in my Sylvanian Village and waste no time in setting up her Crepe shop:
