Fashion Plates

[RSS]

Over the years I've known women who have told me they asked for Tomy's Mighty Men and Monster Maker only to receive this, the so called "girl's version", Fashion Plates. My wife was one of those people, luckily her brother got the MMMM, so she still got to play with it.

Not to put down Fashion Plates (I'm sure it was a fun toy) but Monsters aren't gender specific, they're just cool.

I like Fashion Plates. I bought a old set when I worked in after-school care. I also found a set based on the 90s show "Dinosaurs". My kids really loved those.

My daughter has a Disney Princess version of this, so the idea is still out there.

I still have my Fashion Plates, and the second series of plates.

I remember these. Were the "monster" and "fashion" plates interchangeable? (Where you could put a woman's head on a monster or make monster sporting a fashionable blazer?)
