Fisher Price Friday - Floating Family

Today we take a closer look at the #411 Floating Family.  I showed a few of the Floating Family pieces about a year ago here but now I have the entire set.

The Floating Family was made from 1975-1998 but there were a few changes made over the years.  In 1991 they removed the blue teapot and replaced it with a red lifesaver.

The original set came with a boat, turtle and a teacup as well as three jumbo little people (until 1991 when they switched to only 2 people).  The little people figures are all babies with yellow bodies (until 1991 when one baby was blue) and different colored faces.  The figures shown in the photo were original to the set.

The difference between regular Jumbo Little People and bath Jumbo Little People is all in the bottom.  Bath figures have closed bottoms as pictured while regular figures have holes in the bottoms (just like the smaller classic LP).

The boat could have either a red top and white bottom or the reverse.  However, the most common made was with a white top and a red base.  The later 1991 version had a blue top instead.  They made quite a few changes in 1991!
