Whilst my main hobby is Scooters – I though it was time I told my reader an embarrassing secret that I have kept hidden for years…
I Collect Fisher Price Little people!
Yes before you ask – I do know they are toys meant for children, but to my defense I have collected since my childhood so it’s not so bad (or maybe worse, I am not sure)
If you don’t know what Fisher Price Little people are then you are in for a little lesson.
Fisher Price are a toy company that have been going for 76 years and make a vast amount of different toys/games. The little people are little models that are used by small children for role-play style games. To get a better idea of what these little people look like check the pictures below.
The reason I have randomly blogged about this is because I found out that I am not alone.
It seems in the murky world of the online – there are literally thousands of little people collectors and ebay is awash with vintage little people toys.
Anyway I am off to bid on a few and you can do the same if you so wish. Check out this Little Peoples bus on Amazon..

What is the difference in the ones with the plastic heads and the ones with the wooden heads. For years I have had just one sitting on my bookshelf, and it’s the “bad boy” as my kids always called him. It’s the blue one with the red hat you show up above. But he has a wooden head. I think I probably have all sorts of assorted pieces packed in a box in the garage. I didn’t know there was a market for it. Maybe I should think about getting rid of some of it. I don’t know how to do ebay though.
Fisher price is the best toy company ever. I raised two kids with fisher price toys including little people. I have heard about people collecting little people figures and I understand why. Wish you luck on your collecting endevour!
