Well! First Skyler and Rayne, and now we have a half dozen 'Toon kids (not toddlers, regardless of what the store page says, they look like the 4-7 year-old age bracket to me). And they are very good-looking morphs too.
This generation certainly is good for creating 'Toony kids anyway. Has anyone tried to see how well the hair works on unmorphed G3 figures?

JOdel the hairs work fine on the unmorphed figures ,and you can add mophs to the little ones for variations ,excuse me I gotta go do Happy Dance !!
Hmm, what ages are toddlers? These don't look 7 to me, but yeah, I can see the 4-6 age bracket. Cute lil' kiddies!
They are Toonish...so they could be 65...
But to me, they look like that generic age known as 'kid'...too old to be 'baby' and too young to be 'tween'.
...still waiting on an updated Growing Up for G3.

I think the age mentioned by the PA (ie toddler, which I guess means 2-3) is referring to the character's height. Since none of the promos show them next to adults to get a size reference it is tricky to be sure, but when shown next to some of the props they do look pretty small. Facially they look 7-10ish to me, but since they are stylized then the face does not have to match the age anyway. In some ways they are similar to K4, a figure which has always looked odd to me as it is a ten year old's head on a 4 year old's body.
Toddlers are basically babies which have figured out how to walk. Roughly a year and a half to maybe 3-year old if you stretch the point. These kids are clearly older than that. I'd put them basically around 5 give or take maybe a year. And, yeah, I was stretching it a bit at 7, but some kids are young for their ages.
No idea how they scale if you put them next to the PAs older 'Toon figures like Sadie or Sam, or their 'Toon adults.
I swear that caucasian male needs only freckles and a cowlick to closely resemble a *very* well-known comic strip character...
They load in at 101 cm - which makes them around 3.5 to 4 years old.
Or 5 yr old British kids...
Greetings,
Toddlers are typically from when kids start to 'toddle' (walking on their own, ~10 months), until they are in pre-school. I'd argue these are preschoolers, but it's not a hard-and-fast rule, especially as they're toon'ed a bit.
The caucasian boy's hair is like...identical to my 5yo's hair before we got it cut, just a few days ago.

I have twin 7 year olds, and my daughter is petite, my son is FREAKIN HUGE. It's wild seeing them next to each other -- my daughter comes up to my son's shoulder.
Kids vary so much. heh.
They're definitely closer to a toddler than say a 9 year old. I also think stylization comes into play, their head to torso ratio screams toddler, but their arm and leg length to torso ratio looks a bit older.
So Will, do fraternals also have their own twin language? I am half of an identical pair and my mom always talked about how my sister and I would have our own language that no one could understand but us. We also tended to finish each other's sentences a lot. Sometimes, we still do even though we have lived in different states for a couple of decades now. Just curious if the same thing happens to male/female twin sets as well.
Mine didn't. There were all sorts of magical twin stuff we waited for, and bupkis! Heh.
They basically are siblings who happen to be the same age, and that's about it.
Someone over in the Members' forum posted an image with the heads dialed back to 50% and 30% and the bodies left 100% Little Ones. Made for kid morphs which were a little stylized but no longer particularly toony. Although the hands and feet were pretty oversized. But the propagating scales should be able to take care of that. Assuming those are still an option for G3 (can't imagine why not).
They look a lot like Jasmin and Jason...younger siblings, same 'universe'...but there are resemblences.
My daughter is 9, I always tell her she's a toddler. She gets mad but I explain that your a baby until about age 1, then you are a tween around age 10 or so, and in between you are a toddler. Ergo, she is a toddler. She gets really annoyed at me, which means I'm doing my job as a dad.
My secret plan is to edit wikipedia's definition of toddler on her 10th birthday to say that you are a toddler until age 11. Bwah hah hah!
That's positively EVIL...I love it, now why didn't I think of that?
I told her when she was three or so that the world was black and white until the 1960s when color was invented but ut was sort of a faded yellowish color at first. I showed her lots of old pictures to prove my point. Good for a laugh and then I forgot about it.
Then when she was in 2nd grade she mentioned that she was talking to another kid about how color wasn't around in the old days and I had to say "uh, hey, I was doing some research and it turns out they DID have color back then! It was just the film that was black and white! Huh, you learn something new every day!"
Maybe it is different for fraternal twins.
Nice save.
I placed them around 5-7 years based on shapes. They remind me in a toon way of the kids I work with who are around that age.
Couldn't resist them though...I plan on using them for resources to spice up worksheets as well as pixies.
It occurs to me that maybe one of the reasons we're suddenly seeing a little flury of kid figures is that the lack of *any* dedicated child figures over an extended time may now be looking like a gap to fill.
3DU ported Sadie and Sam over to Genesis 1 -- which did come with a basic kid morph -- and Adam Twaites and Oskarsson each did a Genesis baby, but G2 had only Zev0's Growing Up morphs, and Thorne's Teen figures. That's a full 2-year development cycle without actual kid figures, even if we did get some cracking good kid morphs.
G2 was also a bit of a dry spell for unapologetically 'Toon figures. We got some, but nowhere near the number that we had for Genesis 1.
So now with G3 -- where we have to start over again on a lot of the basics, it's maybe not at all surprising that we are seeing kids and 'Toon skins hitting the store again.
