Rotary Phone – A+
This obnoxiously yellow rotary phone comes with a working rotary. The handset is attached via a cord, so you can have your doll play telephone if you want. The colour is bright, but I recall seeing one of these in my mum’s toys from the 70s, so I love it for nostalgia reasons alone.
The phone, one of the plates and holders, and celery with peanut butter.
Plates and Holders – A+
The plates are doll-sized paper plates, so be careful with them. The holders are delightfully goofy – plastic flowers that are perfectly sized to hold the plates. I can’t speak for the accuracy of this one, but I like them!
A closer look at the plate/holder and the celery snack.
Food/Drinks – A+
Like most AG food, these pieces are clumped together, but I’m ok with that at this point. We have celery sticks with peanut butter, deviled eggs, a bag of Jiffy Pop popcorn, a glass of iced tea, and a gelatin dessert in a glass. There are a good number of pieces involved and they’re nicely detailed. I especially like the Jiffy Pop popcorn as a nice period touch.
The second plate/holder, drink, and the deviled eggs. Per mum "Yuck, that dog's going to be so gassy!" :-P
Jiffypop, gelatin, and stuffed monkeys.
Monkeys – A+
Cute stuffed hugging monkeys! They’re small-sized versions of real toys that I’ve seen, so I’m happy with them. Their hands are held together with Velcro, so they can be separated.
Good Value?
This was a Christmas gift for me, but it looks like it retailed for $50. I’m actually not sure this is a great deal, even with all the pieces it comes with. I like the pieces as a set and as individual items, but $50 seems a bit steep for what you get. $40 or even $35 sounds a bit more fair in my opinion.
Overall – A+
This set was a surprise to me. My husband…or, excuse me, Ded Moroz (Russian Father Christmas) left this under the tree a few years ago. It hadn’t been on my radar, but I ended up loving it as a fun addition to Peggy’s collection. The pieces are a lot of fun and have a lot of play value. Had I personally paid the full amount for it, I might have been a little more disappointed, but it as a gift, I really love it.
