THF175707 / Fisher-Price "Little People Circus Clowns" Figures, 1991-1992
01
Artifact Overview
Fisher-Price introduced its peg-like figures -- later known as "Little People"-- in 1959. During the 1980s, parents and child advocates feared that small toys like this could be a choking hazard. Redesigned to give the toy a greater diameter, Fisher-Price introduced this newer version in 1991. Though larger and offering a safer experience, "Little People" still provided children with plenty of fun adventures.
