1. Most all-wood (regular base) boys have a raised "belt" just above the narrow part of the base. Wood/plastic and all-plastic boys did not have this belt. Regular base dads and men always have the raised belt.
2. The dog is usually called "Lucky", however, some dogs are apparently named "Snoopy" (based on the name on the back of the #952 house). The dogs in this list generally follow the wood/plastic guidelines above, however, the straight sided wood dog continued after the people went to the regular shaped base.
3. Plastic bodies made before about 1984 were made differently than plastics after that. Some colors, especially orange and reds, were more translucent than the ones made earlier - so you need to judge the colors by translucence as well to make sure you are getting the correct person with a set.
4. There is a neat set of Disney characters (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and maybe more) plus some Peanuts characters that have bases which are essentially the same as the Fisher Price Little People. However, be aware that these were made by Illco, a company that was a competitor of the Fisher Price company. Such characters came with a set of riders similar to the Little Riders play vehicles that Fisher Price put out (Model number #656). So remember, when you come across these items in our pages, such characters are NOT Fisher Price.
5. Cars used in sets introduced in 1988 and beyond do not have the FP logo on the hood, and say "1969-1987" on the bottom. Sets whose production run ended before 1988 should NOT have these cars. Sets crossing the 1988 year could have either type of car. Older cars should have the words "FISHER PRICE TOYS" on the wheels - if you don't know what this looks like, a picture can be found here.
