Fisher Price Friday - Play Family Snowmobile



Today on Fisher Price Friday let's pretend that it's not the hottest part of summer.  Let's take to the slopes with the Play Family Mini Snowmobile #705 instead.  The mini snowmobile was made from 1971-1973.  The set came with a snowmobile with detachable sled and matching runners.  The runners could either be black or red but should always match.  The windshield can be either red or black as well but should match the runner.  The inside of the snowmobile can be either red or black but is the opposite of the runners.  Got all that? ;)


The set came with three people; two children and a dog.  The children were a boy and a girl, both with aqua bodies.  They had wood bodies and either a wood or plastic head depending on the year it was made.  Lucky the dog should have a red collar and in the original version he had the metal rivet holding his ears down.


The little girl pictured is the original one, but I am missing her brother.  He would have a red hat worn sideways, freckles and a big grin.  He was enjoying the snow after all!


The snowmobile holds two little people who bounce up and down when you move it.  It has a windshield on the front and lithographs on each side.  The sled in the back seats one and has a matching hitch to connect it with the snowmobile.  It is always yellow.


Each side of the snowmobile has the same turquoise lithograph.  It has a delicate snowflake with the Fisher Price logo inside.  Also the words "mini Snow mobile" and the year 1970.

Inside the snowmobile there is a little lithograph of a control panel.

Maybe it's wishful thinking since it's so hot in Phoenix but I can imagine the cold winter air looking at this toy.  Although I wouldn't recommend letting a dog drive.  Ha!
