Seen in a place called Ollie’s, which buys up merchandise stores like Walmart can’t unload. I didn’t think it was worth the ten bucks. Ugly, ugly toys.
These are lovely and something a child might actually play with.
Not everything should or needs to be for collectors.
On the other hand, making preschool toys for show that was in the air more than a half century ago is bizarre. I would have loved these as a small child in the 1960s but the the toys should reflect a show kids would actually be watching now.
My four year old niece has some little toys like this…I wish I had an Ollie’s; I’d snatch this up for her in an attempt to get her into Trek. Right now it’s all Disney princesses.
Eh. Little People is a toy line for toddlers with a long history, that kids from the 50s through at least the 80s are going to have some core memories around. This seems like a bit of a no-brainer limited licensing deal.
I know what they looked like. I had a tub of them.
But they stopped being that in the '90s. They didn’t stop being for toddlers, though. And parents are strongly influenced by their own childhood when buying things for their kids.
If you’re trying to appeal to people from the 50s to the 80s with your toy line, but it doesn’t look like the toy line they remember, it’s not really going to appeal to them.
Idk, they may have just made too many of them. We have some of these but lord of the rings that we got for our kids a few years ago, but at this point they've both aged out of Little People.
