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.

    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.

      Especially considering all the other licensing deals they have. I’ve seen at least marvel, DC, and Seinfeld. Probably many others.

        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.

          There’s a reason it’s in the discount store.
