** The claymation show is pretty much unheard of outside of North America and Europe. Averted with the 2013 reboot- all episodes are available from Fisher-Price's official Youtube channel and the Fisher-Price website. Then played straight again with the 2016 CGI series -- it's only available on Sprout (which is only available in the US) and only other select markets, and Fisher-Price has gone on record saying that they have no plans to offer it on Creator/{{Netflix}}. Until it got screwed over by Universal after the channel rebrand, which then sees Mattel dumping the episodes onto Youtube region-free.
** The toys have been NoExportForYou to a large chunk of Southeast Asia since the late 2000s, although semi-averted as of 2018, see below.

** Rare toy example: Creator/{{Mattel}} South East Asia/Fisher-Price South East Asia no longer distributes the toys in the region and the region's FP website makes no mention of the franchise. The official stance given for the decision to stop bringing in the toys is that they aren't selling. Mattel SEA has also claimed that they have officially licensed the import of Little People Toys to third party distributors in the region, and whether the distributors make good of their license is not Mattel's business. Semi-averted as of 2018- Mattel SEA is finally bringing Little People toys again, but only the Disney crossover range. Those after the DC Comics crossover figures or the original characters figures are still SOL.
