I give the original wooden guitar an A for a collector but more like B- for a kid.
It survived my childhood (and more tellingly, my sister's childhood- she was a bit rougher) with only one broken peg. It's not very noticeable as the bow kind of covers it up. I'd still take the old version. I've compared it to the new version in person, and it's just personal taste- I dislike plastic items.
Other than the one broken peg because my sister insisted on playing and tuning it a lot when she was about 6-ish, my guitar has survived great (it was one of the very first runs of production). I've never done anything special to store it except keep it in a climate-controlled environment (i.e., closet instead of attic or basement) in a box well padded with tissue paper. I've had no flaking, crazing, or anything so I guess I'm lucky.
