Happy Friday! Today I'd like to share a vintage little person that is hard at work. It's the Little Trucks Rigs Dump Truck #342. There are many little construction vehicles and people in the Fisher Price world and this set is a pretty simple one. Made from 1980-1984 this two piece set includes a construction worker and a dump truck.
The construction worker is very distinguished with a thick mustache and pointy nose. He has a light blue body, silver construction hat and an orange scarf. He could also have a green body, sharp nose, silver construction hat and an orange scarf.
The dump truck is a one seater with an orange base and yellow bucket. The truck has four black knobby wheels that are different from other FP cars and trucks.
There is a green/yellow version of this dump truck that goes with the Lift and Load sets.
The bucket is spring loaded and in fact I needed the little construction man to hold it down for the photo or it would have snapped shut. :)
Here are more of our construction workers from different sets. There are still quite a few variations that I don't have (yet) if you can believe it (at least 9!!).
I have some construction workers for sale right now in my Etsy shop. Lots of other goodies too!
I have this..back when we had a sandbox (didn't give it up until I was an adult)-I used to play with a version of the dump truck in the sandbox
