Little Snoopy

So reminiscent of my now adult children’s favourite toy now purchased for our grandson

I love this revival toy so much - it’s a perfect present for my 22 month nephew. Little Snoopy was my favourite toy of my early childhood. Once I was walking I took it everywhere with me - if we went out for a walk, I walked 'my dogs' too. I even took him on holiday: my parental units have 80s snaps of diminutive me walking my Little Snoopy along the seafront at Paignton. Snoopy was even the name of our first proper dog - because I was completely fixed on the one true name for a dog. I owned both Little Snoopy and the bigger Snoopy with articulated legs (my Mum bought him for me whilst she was in labour the day before I was born and my Grandma bought Little Snoopy to go with him when I was a newborn and I adored them both, although Little Snoopy was easier to walk with). I was thrilled to be able to buy Little Snoopy for my youngest nephew, as my original one had survived my three brothers, but not all of my cousins as well. This isn't a completely like-for-like replica of the toy I had and loved. I suspect there are a few influences that affect the changes implemented here: firstly, Little Snoopy went through several revisions - so it wasn't entirely likely that a revival version would completely reflect the specific iteration I had; and secondly, laws surrounding toy safety have changed. My Little Snoopy was made of wood, with paper labels. This version is plastic, and the labels seem to be vinyl but the label designs are identical to my memories so the overall effect is much the same, as are the colours of the wheels and string - and I'm not sure how safe a 1+ year old with a solid lump of wood on the end of a string would have been! Certainly not desirable with younger children around. The tail on this Little Snoopy seems wrong - mine was a spring with a plastic bobble on the end (finger trap and choke test fail!) - but it's a nice little tail that waggles obligingly and seems safer. The pull along string is built in to a hole in Little Snoopy's chest, rather than attached by means of a chunky staple (choking hazard, sharp if pulled out). The wheels don't have metal axles with narrow pin heads poking through (small parts, finger traps, potential eye gougers), and have treads that my Little Snoopy didn't. Meh. For the most part, I can't see any changes that hadn't occurred via evolution of product/aren't sensibly necessitated by differences in safety regulations and understanding of how best to mass produce toys whilst keeping smaller children safe.

This is an iconic Fisher Price toy that I remember from my own childhood, growing up in the 1980's. I had a Pull-a-long Snoopy and have been after one as an adult to relive my past and also because I felt that toys back then were better made, more durable and stood the test of time. Unfortunately my search for an original Snoopy was unsuccessful, however I was over the moon to find this remake of the classic toy so I purchased it for my nephew Bobby for his first birthday which is coming soon. I was really impressed and pleasantly surprised when I received the toy in the post. Not only was it exactly as I remembered, it was also packaged really great and felt like amazing quality. The strong is long enough to attach to my nephew's trike which is what I hope to do with the dog so he can pull it along behind him when he rides his bike as I did myself as a youngster. The ears are movable as is the tail. I feel that the tail is different to the original version, but I still think it looks great and it's able to move so that's great. I would say that it isn't as heavy as I had imagined, but that is really of no issue to me as it is for my young relative and it will be easier for him to pick up and play with. All in all, I absolutely love the Snoopy toy, it is timeless and a true classic.

I remember the ears being made of felt, and it feels a little cheap. But a nice toy none the less.

Great Quality Toy sturdy and for any age range would highly recommend

Fantastic item a real blast from the past. Grandson loved it

Purchased this as a gift for a relative who had the original back in the late eighties, as you can imagine it was very loved and used by their younger siblings across the years. It came out of storage for a new family member the other year and has been played with and brought just as much enjoyment as it did 30+ years ago. Have purchased for a birthday present and the nostalgic factor. I know it will bring a smile to the recipients face and bring many happy memories back to them! It can be handed down the generations too. Brilliant item which is updated and in a sturdy box (the delivery box was damaged yet the items box and contents luckily went unscathed!)

These were the best thing my children (and some of our so-called adult friends mainly I have to say male) had. This baby Snoopy is pretty good but not quite as good as the original - but I probably would say that as I love him even now !

Más pequeño que el antiguo, pero es muy bonito.

Prácticamente todo de plástico pero por el precio está bien.

Grandson loves this toy. Pulls it behind him and watches as it follows him around. Really cute.

Super chien très joli et très stable contrairement à certains qui tombent sans cesse.

Adorable puppy and timeless fun! Well made.
