   Like the old saying goes, "Don't count your Little People (or their chickens) until they hatch"...or at least until you can properly identify the many different types of Fisher-Price characters that have been made.

   Since many collectors and hobbyists aren't experts (yet), we've put together this quick comparison display so that you'll not only know what you're looking at, but what you should properly call him or her.

   And if you still don't recognize your guy or gal here, then you may want to hop over to our Imposters page to see who else it might be.
