ABSTRACT:
A talking figure play set comprising an environmental structure having a record player with an upwardly pointing stylus on its tone arm and a plurality of human figures or animal figures, or both, each having an open-bottom base with a phonograph record permanently recessed therein. The tone arm with its upwardly pointing stylus is recessed in a circular opening in the housing of the record player along with support means, such as a ledge or rim, for the open-bottom bases of the various figures. The phonograph record recessed in the open-bottom base of each figure has a sound recording on spiral grooves which is compatible with the appearance of the figure. When the open-bottom base of one of the figures is inserted in the circular opening in the housing of the record player, the record player is turned on to reproduce the sound recording associated with the particular figure while that figure remains stationary to allow a child to perceive the figure as a talking figure.
