Help me find Penthouse!!!!! Does this sound familiar? Help!

[Cosmicman]

Hey there,
Back in the late 70s early 80s, when I was a young lad. My uncle (he is only five years older then me so he is more like an older brother) he used to have this toy doll Penthouse. It was about two stories tall. It had a set of stairs that went around to the side and there was a cool looking roof on top with plants. I am recalling an elevator but I could be wrong.

I remember there was a front window in the penthouse where you could flip it from a night view to a day view.
There was a couch and a room (bathroom?) off to the side.
Well we had the thing set up for Megos. It was very compatible and it made a cool Bruce Wayne Penthouse.
The word Cleco pops into my mind for some reason but I am sure that has nothing to do with it.

We were talking about it the other day and we cannot figure out what it was.
I am sure some of you think this sounds odd or familiar but if any of you might have a clue what it could be start rambling (be serious, yeah I know this sounds weird).
We're on going to try and figure out what it was and see if we can get it back (if the price isn't out there).

Sounds like a Barbie Townhouse.

Nope. My sister had that thing. That isn't it.

This thing wasn't very tall. Maybe about a story and a half (doll size)

Galoob A-Team playset?

Cleco may have been a kid's memory of Coleco...

That's interesting.

My uncle had some Penthouses that I remember looking at, but that was something different and probably doesn't help you.

OMG! Brian. How did you know? I am in shock!!




If anybody knows how to find this thing please let me know.

Just looking at that picture a flood gate of memories are flowing in!!! That was Bruce Wayne's penthouse back in the day (well for us).
The amazing fun we had with that thing and the Wayne Manner playset when we would put these two together. I wish I had something like this so my daughter could experience it.

They just don't make inventive toys like this anymore.

What's really funny. In my mind all these years I pictured this thing bigger. I wonder if it is because I was a little kid back then and this thing seemed really big to me because we had it up on a table? Hard to say.

Now the fun part of tracking this down. I bet you there are probably 5 left in the world that are even halfway decent and they want probably six hundred bucks for it.

looks more like Tony Stark's place to me

OK

I found one for one hundred bucks assembled in full detail and I found another one that is missing the main structure but it has all the pieces and they look pretty bad. They want ten for that.
I'm going to check into the hundred dollar one. Crossing my fingers.

Right but they didn't have a Tony Stark Mego back then and we had a Bruce Wayne so guess who got the nice Penthouse pad?

[Cosmicman]

Here's closer shot of it.
I never had the little girlie dolls. Bruce was a more free lance bachelor back in the 70s when he sported that nice penthouse.


Heh heh...I dig this one. These dolls must be the poor man's Barbie of the 70s.


Sadly, I remember that is not shag white carpet. The one we had somebody took a picture of the carpet and it was printed on cardboard. Cheap asses.

Pure happenstance, I was scanning the page for something else.
