The Top Ten Fisher Price Little People sets

[RSS]

If you're a kid of the 1970s, chances are the sight of the limbless cherubic Fisher Price Little people will bring a smile to your face.


These simple (and indestructable!) toys were the deserved kings of the preschool aisle during the polyester decade



Here are the top ten Fisher Price Little People Sets:

10) Sesame Street Clubhouse
Ok, so there was never a clubhouse on Sesame Street, nobody cared because this set was jam packed with features like a trap door, revolving door and a tire swing. Not to mention interesting graffiti professing David's love for Maria, which must make Luis crazy to this day!

Great list and I still love these toys after all these years. I received the farm play set for Christmas one year and my younger sister marked the white top with crayons that same day. She received the camper a few years later and we got the parking garage as a split gift one year.

wow, what a blast from the past. i still have my camper set, farm set, village, and train set. now my kids are enjoying them. they were made to endure!!

[samurainoir]

those Sesame Street sets are great.

I never had any FP Little People sets! But I knew several people, including my little cousin when I was 11 who had a few. (and really until I was about 8 or 9, I didn't think black kids were supposed to have these! Not racist, just a little kid's misconception). It's interesting how sometimes that Villiage set was also called Main Street. That was always my favorite.

What no school set? That came in 2nd. for me. I recently bought my grand-niece the 50th Anniversary school set. It's fine for her, 'cos she's only 2, but it doesn't come w/ enough pieces for my liking. I even had to buy 2 more people!

Man, those take me way back. I see Mister Hooper in the Sesame Street set. My cousins and my sister and I had a lot of these sets over the years. Number one for me is the castle, too. I dragged the little Knight all over the place. I think there was a pair of spooky eyes somewhere in the castle that my mom had to black out because they freaked me out.

Great list! I inherited the FP Schoolhouse from my older sister, which I was expecting to see here, but I can't argue all of these sets look cooler. I think I bypassed a lot of FP stuff and went straight to Mego at age 3 or so, so I missed out on some of this great stuff.

Cindy found the castle sitting on the curb for trash pickup in my old neighborhood about 10 years ago. Both my kids have played with that thing over and over, even without any classic FP Little People! It's such a great toy.

What a great list. The only one I was expecting to see on here, but didn't was the Houseboat. That one was a pretty awesome tub toy. It had a diving board! And life preservers! Can't argue with the inclusion of any of the others on the list, outside of the Fire Station which neither I, nor any of my friends, ever had. It looks cool enough, but having never played with it as a kid, I just don't know enough about it.

I still have my completely sun faded houseboat, I'm getting a lot of flack for not including it or the A Frame house but these lists aren't exactly "Official", they're just Friday afternoon distraction.

I had number's 9 & 10 and played with both for many, many hours. Most of the other's were owned by other kids I knew.

I had the parking garage. Drove my folks nuts with that bell on the elevator. Something I would do is have one of the figures pump gas with the gas pump and turn the handle on the elevator so the gas pump would "ding" as the gas was pumped.

[ScottA]

I'm not sure I've ever seen the camper before.

[Hedji]

We had ALOT of these. Still play with the houseboat in the swimming pool. The Sesame Street one is gone, but I still have some of the figures. That one was the stuff dreams are made of.

[Werewolf]

I had the Castle. I loved that pink Dragon.

[cjefferys]

My favourite one that I owned was the circus train, all those animals were awesome! My favourite that I never owned was the castle. The first time I saw it at some kids house it blew my mind. At that point I was probably too old for these toys but I couldn't resist playing with it, great toy!
