| Description: Fisher-Price created the Play Family Circus after the #991 Circus Train became a hot seller in 1973. This set reused most of the #991's accessories, along with 6 new exclusive trapeze parts. Apparently, it must not have sold as well; the Circus Train was manufactured until 1986, while the Play Family Circus died a decade earlier. As usual, the hard to find piece is the most nondescript: the yellow H-shaped connector, plenty of which most likely got thrown out the minute they were separated from the set. |
Accessories:
- 2 each - FPT32 - Yellow 7-rung ladder with a half-circle "bump" in the middle (a step to support one person standing halfway up - step is reinforced by half-circles that extend from the sides).
- FPT136 - Round red circus hoop. The hoop has a rectangular standing platform on one side. The sides of the platform can attach to the 2 yellow circus ladders.
- FPT256 - Yellow rectangular circus trapeze piece. The trapeze has a thin "bar" on one end, and a rectangular "stand" tab on the other end. The "bar" has 2 tabs on the side (to attach to the FPT32 ladder), and 3 scallops on the inside area.
- FPT16656 - Blue ladder stand (round tub-shaped stand with 4 stars around the base and a slot in the top for the end of a ladder - to hold ladder upright, also has a litho on the bottom of a clown, click here for an illustration).
