Fisher Price did have its independence again in 1991, but by 1993 it was bought out by Mattel Corporation.Lets explore some of the classic vintage toys from the 1970s from Fisher PriceThe Three Men in a Tub toy is fairly self explanatory. There is an old English nursery rhyme many will remember, Rub a Dub Dub, Three Men in a Tub. The Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker are those three men, as you may recall. This toy is about four and a half inches in circumfrence, and when you rock the tub, a bell is set off.Another popular 1970s toy was the My Friend Mandy Doll. This toy was the first in a series of dolls, aptly named the My Friend series. The Mandy Doll is about a foot tall and feature bodies of cloth and vinyl arms and legs. My Friend Mandy also featured a sophisticated rooted hairline. My Friend Mandy and the other Friend series dolls had additional outfits available which were sold separately.Fisher price introduced the Music Pocket Radio as an early 1970s toy. The Music Pocket Radio was made out of plastic and played diffferent tools. They consist of small plastic replicas of the transistor radios which were in general use during that time period. These toys also have a wrist strap, a dial on the front, and they had a limited set of tunes for playing.What was fun about these radios is that younger children could copy their older relatives habitual holding of the radio up to their ear, a common sight for teens in the 1970s, mimicking this with their toy radios.Everyone who grew up in the 70s remembers the Xylophone Pull Toy. This toy has wheels of plastic and features a wooden mallet to strike the notes, which are colored metal and had a belllike tone. The toy was about fourteen inches long and four inches wide.Many a parent has regretted buying this toy when they grew tired of the music produced by their young aspiring musicians.Another ubiquitous 1970s toy was the Jack in the Box. There were different versions of this toy, featuring different pop up puppets. The operation of this Fisher Price toy was simple, with the puppet enclosed in the box with the lid shut, a button is pressed to release the puppet. Another button on the outside makes the puppet talk.In other Jack in the Box style vintage toy models, there is a winding mechanism that is turned while music plays until the puppet pops out, giving the heart quite a start.Learn more about a1970s toysa.
