ITT: Playsets you own, want, or had as a kid. Honestly always wanted this Peewee's Playhouse set. Saw it sitting in a comic shop when I was a kid for like $50, then as I got older I steadily saw the price rise and am practically frothing over the thing but have no room. It's really cool that it kinda scales to 1/12.
>>11273619Kenner Batcave is one that got a TON of playtime and a lotta love from me and my toys. Would pretend that it was a spot for my other superheroes to hang out at. I wasn't quite this version of it, but they released it in several different color schemes
Was obsessed with Spawn Alley as a kid. Didn't have it but damn I wanted it. That and the Spawn Mobile
>>11274387The Spawn Mobile pictures here. This thing is absolutely insane looking but I can't help but love how toyetic and goofy it looks.
>>11273619This was the stage for so many of my adventures as a kid. I also had the pirate ship from the same line. As of today, I just don't have much space for playsets, though I've been tempted by some like the Lori Loft.
>>11274394Fisher Price Great Adventures was so fucking awesome. I had the spaceship from the early 2000s and used to just use old toyboz Iron Man figures and Power Rangers to pretend they were astronauts and go on many space adventures. Used to draw backgrounds on paper to have it land on different planets.
>>11274389>>11274387I had both of these, they were pretty fantastic. The textures and painted elements were something that I took for granted, it was pretty nice. The car had many ridiculous features, including but not limited to a spring loaded catapult spoiler, chained tires that weren't just molded on, chain seatbelts (you know those didn't last long with kids) little buckles to clip them into the car seat, side compartments for projectiles or contraband and a mother fucking gatling gun for an engine block with telescoping barrels. Spawn knew how to live. The playset was wonderful to play with just about any figure, but it took up such a large footprint I eventually had to get rid of it because my parents wanted me to make room for new playsets. I kinda wish I kept it, would be a great piece for photography.
>>11273619That is really cool. I had a Pee Wee action figure when I was younger (adult), from the Big Adventure movie.It was the bicycle from the movie, a Pee Wee figure, with helmet.I've never seen it since, on secondary markets and a quick browser search didn't cough it up, but when I had a big house party one year, someone asshat who was in my bedroom took the helmet.I was so fucking annoyed.
Growing up, this and the Technodrome were my favorites.
>>11273627This thing had so many repaints and rereleases over the years it's almost comical. But it really was a fantastic set. I have at least two in my basement in various states of disrepair. >>11274387>>11274389>>11274405Spawn Alley works so well for current 1:18 figures, and a garage like that is such a rare backdrop to use with figures. I got a whole pile of playsets to use for 1:18 stuff, I just literally don't have the room to enjoy em right now.
>>11274929I was recently wondering if the set would work with 1:18 scale figures. Good to know if I ever see one at a good price.
>>11273619I wasn't a kid anymore when i bought this, but it's the oldest one i own. dome/landing zone on top, hand-powered elevator, and two trap doors. Also a nice display piece
what are some good playsets and doll props that are focused on exteriors. everywhere i go they only have inside stuff and never a city or a forest. what do you suggest?
>>11274394That was a cool set. I had the pirate ship via my grandparents and the western town as a Santa gift. Both were great, but the western town was more my favorite as I've always preferred the Wild West.
>>11273619Peewee was more innocent than Michael Jackson.
Does this count as a playset?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23SE4Ym83bc
>>11278603Depends entirely on where you draw the line between a playset and a vehicle.
>>11273619I've never owned a playset
>>11278853It's not too late to change that
>>11274394I was going to post the magic castle one with the lion head. That was THE playset I had growing up. I just had to have all the extra mini sets for it too. Me and my cousin loved it so much I would even bring the whole set over to his house for overnights.
>>11273627I want a batcave for my 80s/90s DC figures to hang out in but I can't decide which one.
Never had it but always wanted it. My mother swore it wasn't real and that I made it up for years. Gaslighting cunt. I've had it in my Christmas list every year since 97-98.
Strange show but fit in during the 90s karate power ranger shows of the day.Playset looked awesome
Police Academy had an awesome playset.I played with this more than the GB Firehouse.
>>11284455I got it for Christmas as a kid and it wasn't worth it at all. The cardboard was really flimsy and couldn't hold the weight of the plastic pieces. My mom tried to hotglue the card board to the plastic but it still would collapse under the weight of the upper level. My mom ended up returning it and I got one of the role play weapons instead. Find a better grail bro you don't want to spend good money on that piece of shit and be let down.
I collected a lot of Palisades Muppets as a teenager, but the changeups in retailers carrying the stuff meant I never got a shot at getting the Pigs in Space playset or that fuckhuge Muppet backstage.
>>11284582It looks like it is the Ghostbusters firehouse but with different stickers. >>11285290That's the problem with most of the playsets. Commercials and images make them look amazing but out of the box and without the extra stuff art departments add in the commercials, you normally end up with two to three pieces of plastic and some cardboard that makes a bland piece of a house. Snake Mountain and Castle Greyskull were the only ones that were pleasing, and fairly sturdy.
>>11285628>It looks like it is the Ghostbusters firehouse but with different stickers.They look similar, but they're actually different. The Police Academy set is smaller. >Snake Mountain and Castle Greyskull were the only ones that were pleasing, and fairly sturdy.I gotta disagree. In the 80s alone there are a lot of wonderful GI Joe playsets, the Ghostbusters Firehouse and the Police Academy set the other anon posted, the Kenner Hall of Justice, the 80s Toybiz Batcave was pretty good despite having a cardboard backing, the Thundercats lair was pretty good too.
>>11285628C'mon, you at least saw a video on it or knew the PA playset had the sliding jail door button gimmick. And, it was 2 stories tallGhostbusters firehouse had the spinning pole, roof smile-jizz vent and was 3 stories tall.Get your eyes checked
Sometimes I'd go to my parents' friends' house and their kids had this Playmobil island, I always thought it was cool. Had a little hidden cave in the back.
The site of many a super hero/villain fight as a kid.
