Winnie the Pooh

About Winnie the Pooh

A gentle licence

Unlike vehicle-heavy Duplo themes, Winnie the Pooh is built around small scenes and friendships. The set names tell the story: Pooh and Piglet go honey-hunting, Eeyore gets a surprise and later a birthday party, Tigger has a treehouse and sets off on an expedition. The characters are known mainly through Disney's films, which is why the catalogue lists the theme under both Duplo and Disney.

Two main periods

The first run, from 1999 to 2001, produced most of the larger sets. The Big Honeypot (2989-1) from 2000 leads with 47 pieces, followed by Welcome to the Hundred Acre Wood (2987-1, 37 pieces, 1999) and Tigger's Treehouse (2990-1, 35 pieces, 2000). Surprise for Eeyore (2988-1, 31 pieces) and Pooh and Piglet Go Honey-Hunting (2984-1, 22 pieces) also date from 1999. In 2011 the characters returned with Winnie the Pooh's House (5947-1), 40 pieces, and Tigger's Expedition (5946-1), 26 pieces.

For young readers and collectors

The sets sit well alongside the books for children who already know the stories. For collectors, the early sets are worth checking carefully, as small printed pieces and figures are easy to lose over the years. Bricoria's parts lists show exactly what belongs in each box.
