I would have died for one of these! I collect (and to some degree design) paper models and really love the idea of a play set of this sort. I've been trying to convince the company I work for to produce something similar but the idea never really got the traction I had hoped for. Given the desire for less plastic items and more "green" products, perhaps these sorts of paper play sets might catch on once again.
James, This would have been awesome... While you're reminiscing along these lines, How about considering a Dinotopia Waddle Book? The Dinosaurs waddle down the ramp. Like the Wizard of Oz Waddle Book It could just be a special edition of the original story with Waddles added!
Hey, Mel. Fun idea. I never knew about waddle books until I saw the great examples you own. I also love those beautiful paper dolls, paper theaters and fairy cities in your collection. There are so many beautiful kinds of papercraft from 100+ years ago. Maybe they require more patience (and scissor-and-knife skills) than people have at present.
This is cool! Did the playset ever go into production? Or were these more of a fun side project?

ReplyDeleteI LOVED these kind of sets when I was a child!
