A friend of mine had this wonderful 1990 Fisher-Price McDonald’s playset in his collection, and I, being more of a 70s kid, had never really noticed it before. According to what I’ve read, it was only available in this format for one year as FP retooled the LP to a “Chunkier” design in 1991, thus ending Original Little People.

It’s pretty amazing, not only do you get Ronald and the Hamburglar as little people figures, you get an old school playground complete with a french fry train car and a cool slide where it looks like the cheeseburger is eating the kid!

This is one of those sets well after my time that I know I would have played with for hours and hours.

WANTED !

Also, I need to find this Hamburglar figure Stat!

Special thanks to Peter Joe for the photos.

Fisher Price Adventure People 1976

Continuing with this cracker of a catalogue I got from a chain called “Cardinal” (If you didn’t see the previous bed-wetting spread, it’s here). Just like the action figure page, I am in love with their curating of the Fisher Price Toy lines.

I mean, the Little People are incredibly beloved, but this spread of Adventure People is my childhood. If I didn’t have one of these sets on this page, don’t think I didn’t want it!

This was also made more impactful by me being able to track down the boxed Sea Sled this year. This was so well loved in my house.

Fisher Price Adventure People Sea Sled.

I did a video about this earlier in the year. Anyway, I love Fisher Price toys!

The post 5 Must-Have Toys from this 1981 Christmas Catalog | Toy-Ventures appeared first on PS.

Fisher-Price created some of the most durable and well-remembered toys of our lifetime, if you’re a 70/80’s kid, you likely had wonderful afternoons with the little people and possibly graduated to the real-world action of the Adventure People.

1975 was an amazing year for Fisher-Price, not only did they launch the Adventure People but also released the Sesame Street Little People set, two incredibly iconic toys in one year.

The cover for the 1975 Fisher-Price Catalog looks a lot like my bedroom that Christmas, the safari people did a lot of driving by Sesame Street.

I still have every piece from my original  Adventure People Safari set and it’s all in great shape, built to last!.

1975 Fisher-Price Catalog Adventure People Helicopter

The adventure people were a revolutionary line of toys, these 3 3/4″ dynamos would inspire Mego to create the Comic Action Heroes and a couple of years later Kenner would swipe their design with a little film called Star Wars, the rest is history.

The Sesame Street set is absolutely hands down, one of the greatest things Fisher-Price ever made. I have nothing but fond memories of this wonderful toy.

The Little People Castle really is an incredible set and I spent hours with that airport.

These pre school toys and little people sets would be sold for much of the 70s, some are still available today.

I honestly believe everyone was government issued that phone when I was a kid.

Issue 4 of Toy-Ventures magazine is now shipping, it’s full of cool toys from the 60s, 70s and 80s, get it while it’s hot!

This is the third Toy Flier I have from 1975 with Mego Star Trek on the cover, thank goodness for Star Trek collectors saving these.

The Fisher Price Sesame Street set is the big get here, this was the first year it was launched.

Mego’s Wizard of Oz line was also launched in 1975, it was a big year for licensed toys.

It’s kind of weird to see the Planet of the Apes adventure set mixed in with growing up Skipper and Holly Hobbie.

Evel Knievel was still a super hot toy in 1975 and surprisingly the Mego planet of the apes dolls still sold despite the series getting canceled almost a year earlier..

Those flock haired Karate Men were under my tree that year, I always wanted to turn them into action figures.

Hedstron, Huffy and Murray….

PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures Magazine #2 is now available and it’s been called “not only an entertaining read, but it’s also an impeccable work of reference” by PopCult.
