The Fancy Curls Carousel came out a fee years later, and is strikingly similar in shape; however, the carousel seats are platform style to accomodate the larger Pet Shop pets. The grass base has painted details, but fewer holes for the fences. (Every Petites building had those fences!)
Additionally, the carousel base is much lighter, because it does not contain a music box.
