The Happy Gang

[Poodles]

I can't find a section relating to toys, and this is not a question about the Happy Gang kids tv programme. Does anyone remember in the 70's and 80's a collection of toys - they were all different animals and came in different sizes, kind of nude looking on the front and with brightly coloured fur on the back, + a string from their heads to hang them up. A bit like trolls but cuter and animals. There were loads to collect - I had a cat, a dog, a mouse and a hedgehog ... I am sure they were called THE HAPPY GANG but I can't find anything about them under this name anywhere ... any ideas?
