  • Builder Figures

    When me & my brother were young we had a set of 4.5 Inch (11cm) construction worker figures & their tools.

    I've never seen anything like before or since, their Popeye like arms & legs caused them to he called the "butch builders" by my Mum.

    I remember I had them for years but didn't play with them, & probably went in a charity bag at some time, but a wheelbarrow from the set ended up in my loose Lego.

    I've no idea who they were made by but would have been bought around 1980-82.

    Is this one of them? It's marked '1977 Fisher-Price'.

      Thank! Yes it does look like one of them!

      I'm liking the Village People moustache!

      I looked at a FP site because they had a range of articulated figures but were thinner with more detail, like a smaller Star Wars figure.

          This set was certainly one we had, but I'm sure we had more than 2 figures.

            I thought it might have been from this series, it's interesting that Fisher Price had 2 similar ranges at the same time:

                I was wondering if whoever designed them was a fan of the Village People!?
