This time of year is rough. The long nights and short days, with holidays over. What I need is a project!
Goodwill delivered. A folding house and an ambulance to customize! Other stuff, too, but I digress.
Not a house. Barbie Cook and Grill Restaurant. (Ad photo)
But the other really is an ambulance. (Ad photo)
Both playsets are missing a lot of pieces. Basically, anything that isn't attached to the building or vehicle! The flashing lights and siren sounds on the ambulance don't work, but we all know I wouldn't have used them anyway.
The ambulance "interior" is missing all the loose stuff, as mentioned, but also the top of the admissions counter. At least I'm assuming that thing that folds down into the floor is - the ad photo shows it upright and having a sort of desktop. Otherwise this looks to be in pretty good shape.
"Exterior" looks good.
Both playsets will need gentle cleaning, because most of details are stickers or cardboard.
Also because they are too big for my dishwasher.
Exterior of the Cook & Grill. I knew this was a fairly new playset because of the electric car charger! I'm not crazy about the folding corners being so small - they look more like shutters than walls and that hurts my brain. Maybe I'll decide it's a patio enclosure.
Interior of Cook & Grill. It is missing one of the cardboard backings (beside the pizza oven).
Drying off after a bath.
To be continued.
Congrats! You have the major pieces! Some of the others you can make or find. Do the light and the siren work? I haven't set mine up. It has been sitting in a box. I got a lot of dentistry stuff a while back. Maybe you might want the dubs. Folding houses are great. They don't take up as much space. A friend of mine who passed, made one out of boxes that I might try. I'll send you the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe lights and sirens are not functional. I have assorted medical equipment I'll probably stock it with. I do love the folding houses even if they're too little for the gigantic families I always end up giving my dolls! I used them in my soap opera for the school and Midna's diner.
