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 […]
I’m sure most people recognize the Sesame Street Clubhouse from Fisher Price but I’ve never seen the cardboard playset before.

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 […]
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.
Well this was inevitible, after a family trip to an antique mall I officially began collecting Fisher Price Adventure people.
