1977 Fisher Price Toy Catalog

I’m not sure any company could represent Christmas in the 70’s more to me than Fisher Price, seeing as a lot of their offerings were larger play sets, it was the one given each and every year growing up, under the tree, there would be a Fisher Price toy of some kind. Honestly I think […]

Fisher Price Adventure People Catalog

One of the most influential Action toy lines of the 1970’s, the Fisher Price Adventure people were North America’s first 3 3/4″ line of action figures and vehicles. These durable toys had great play value and lasted for nearly a decade, here we have a glimpse at the 1983 catalog where the adventure has more […]

FIsher Price Toy Love

It’s not often I give myself flashbacks but that’s what happened with this 1977 Fisher Price Toy Catalog., Starting with crib toys and moving to the point where you traded in your little people for adventure people, you might find something you had on every page.
