2001年，Eric So 與好友藝人 Sam Lee (李燦琛) 合組公司，值着他們在香港公型房屋(屋邨)相同的成長背景，以小時候每天所見所聞作為題材，創作了 ”屋邨系列”公仔。
除了Sam 本人為主角以外，還將屋邨內居住的隣居及工作的邨民，都一一放到這系列當中，化作其中生鬼的角色。

Then on the way home, there's the drug addict hiding around the stair corners, and there's also the old courier delivering gas tins to households. Finally, there's the "vegetable ladies" at the market, and of course those forever-energetic naughty kids...
The Estates series not only brought out the core Hong Kong value - "love & care", but also neatly characterized the hard-working Hong Kong people who strived to climb along the rising economy. Vividly telling stories and keeping memories, the Estates had marked the beginning of "series creation" for designer toys at that time.
