Product Information

During the 1960s, the Play Family (later known as Little People) product line was introduced and soon overtook the popularity of earlier toys. [11] The 'Family House' was one of the more popular Little People playsets. [11] Herman Fisher retired at the age of 71 in 1969 and The Quaker Oats Company bought Fisher-Price the same year. [12] The special-edition Chatter Telephone is a working rotary phone smart enough not to come with any apps," Fisher-Price said in a statement to U.S. TODAY. "This updated version of the nostalgic childhood toy brings playful calls into the real world for all adults—working seamlessly with consumer's cell phones via Bluetooth connection."

In 1991, Fisher-Price regained its independence from The Quaker Oats Company and became a publicly traded company. [13] Two years later, in November 1993, Mattel bought Fisher-Price. A new management group set the company's focus on basic, infant and preschool products and began expansion into international markets. By 1997, Mattel decided to market all of its preschool products under the Fisher-Price name. The Chatter Telephone features a mostly plastic build with four wheels for easy mobility, just like the original toy. Unlike the original, though, it comes with a battery and Bluetooth inside. Fisher-Price also designs and sells infant care products and has begun developing electronic toys [15] for preschoolers.Madore T., James (1994-02-15).

Fisher-Price has created approximately 5,000 different toys since the early 1930s. [4] One of Fisher-Price's best-known lines is Little People toys, which includes people and animal figures along with various play sets such as a house, farm, school, garage and vehicles. The figures, which originally were wooden peg-style characters, are now molded of plastic and have detailed features. [14] a b Helmore, Edward (2020-06-13).
