The Fisher-Price
Collectors Club
is a group of people who all share a love for the toys
made by the Fisher-Price company. The group is quite
diverse in what we collect, as there are so many
different lines of toys to enjoy! Far and away, the most
collected line of toys by our members are the
classic Little People/Play Family toys,
but there are many others to enjoy too -
the vintage wooden pull toys; the
wind-up music boxes; dollhouses and action figures;
plus so much more!
|
It's hard to put into words
exactly why Fisher-Price
toys have such timeless
charm to many of us. Perhaps it's the bright colors
and smiles. Maybe it's the cute
miniature versions of society. Perhaps it's reasons
too numerous to list!
Either way, Fisher-Price truly does have the power to
brighten a rainy day.

June 2009: Sad news to report - The Fisher-Price
Collectors Club will not be having an
Antique Toy Show and Sale this
year.
May 2009: More sad news to report -
the Toytown Museum on
Girard Steet in East Aurora has
closed, and it appears this is permanent. They may be looking for
another location, but it remains to be seen what happens next.
A huge loss to toy collectors everywhere.
May 2009: The Spring Gabby Goose newsletter was mailed - collectors, check
your mailboxes!
March 2009: Good news!! In celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the Little People, Fisher-Price has produced
4 new commemorative toys, in a retro style in remembrance of
the classic Little People. They are called the "Little People
Play 'n Go", and the 4 new toys are a
house,
fire station,
farm, and
school house. The new toys have a base made
of light-weight plastic and tin, with plastic Little People and some accessories.
Sadly the Little People figures are large and chunky, but
alas, that's how things are made in current times for safety reasons.
Nice to see the vintage Little People being remembered today!

In 2009, Fisher-Price
is celebrating the 50th anniversary
of the Little People line of toys! Starting back in 1959
with the release of the Looky Fire Truck, the Little People
have been giving children countless hours of fun and
imaginative play for 5 decades now. As part of
the celebration, March 21st has been designated as the
official birth date for the Little People. So we give a big
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all our Play Family & Little People toys, and
cheers to another 50 years as well!
Fisher-Price has posted some webpages dedicated to the anniversary.
Click here to see a general timeline of the Little People toys from 1959 to today.
So nice to see our favorite toys honored and remembered in modern times by the company
who created them!
The biggest question of all with this anniversary is - is that the
rare lime green little person boy in the birthday logo, or the more common
medium green one? Alas, we may never know ....

*** What We Collect! ***
|
|
The Fisher-Price Collectors Club
span the generations and ages, but we all share
a love for Fisher-Price toys. From the older wooden pull
toys, to the classic Little People of the 70's/80's, and
to the toys of today even, we have members
who love to collect 'em (and own every set with every piece,
every rare variation, every unusual color scheme, and every toy
mint-in-the-box too!). So below are some photos of the lines of
toys our members collect. But this is no way
covers them all - there are so many more to enjoy!
