Pick Up Joint : The Playset

Pick Up Joint : The Playset


This disco playset probably looked a whole heck of a lot more innocent back in the day, now the guy figure looks a lot like Eric Roberts in “Star 80”. I cut it off but you can see his “Mid life crisis mobile” which was sold separately.Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends.

    He looks a little like Gabe Kaplan.

    Wow, it could have been the Studio 54 playset, and the dolls could have had “coke sniffing” action!

    Looks like Barbie’s steppin’ out on Ken with DangerMan and his sexy cravat.

    I absolutely love the fact that the side wall has a “built-in AM radio with speaker and pulsating multicolored light show”. This set rocks my world and I want one.

    these look like re-purposed toys from Mego’s failed “Looking for Mr. Goodbar” toy line.

    The guy looks a lot like Ron Burgundy to me. If only they made a whole line of Anchorman action figures…

    I have got to get me one of those… well…maybe not. But that is one of the coolest, yet dumbest 70’s toys yet!
