Happy 75th Fisher-Price
Herman Fisher and Irving Price founded Fisher-Price in 1930. To commemorate the milestone of 75 years in the toy biz, the company is partnering with some cool companies to bring back some old favorites. According to this article in the Chicago Sun Times:
"In celebration of Fisher-Price's 75th anniversary, Sababa Toys has obtained a licensing agreement to reproduce Dr. Doodle and Snoopy Sniffer, pull toys that came out around 1938."
Here's Snoopy!
