Fisher Price Donald Duck Collection

The very first Fisher-Price toys that featured Disney's Donald Duck were introduced in 1936. At that time, Donald looked a little bit different than the Donald that we know and love today. The old Donald had a very long bill, but by 1938, his bill was shortened. Donald Duck Delivery was introduced during the long bill Donald era. Donald waves his arms and quacks when pulled as the cart behind him hauls children's favorite toys or candy.

 The very first Fisher-Price toys that featured Disney's Donald Duck were introduced in 1936. At that time, Donald looked a little bit different than the Donald that we know and love today. The old Donald had a very long bill, but by 1938, his bill was shortened and has stayed short ever since. Dapper Donald Duck was introduced as a long bill Donald who waves his arms and quacks (concealed voice) when pulled. In 1938, Dapper Donald Duck had the same motion and voice, but had a short bill.

 Among the very first 16 toys made by Fisher-Price in 1931 was the ever-popular Pop-Up Kritters (Patented October 5, 1926-No. 1,601,983) that are made of bead and string construction, allowing the Kritter to spring to life when the strings are pulled tightly, squirm and sway around as the strings are loosened, and laying flat when the strings are loosened all the way. Pop-Up Kritters are mounted on a paddle and the control strings have metal loops on the end to allow easy maneuvering. Five years after the first Pop-Up Kritters were released, a new Kritter was added to the line in the form of Disney's Pluto (1936-1948 #440 Pluto Pop-Up). The only other Disney Pop-Up Kritter manufactured by Fisher-Price was 1938-1939's #425 Donald Duck Pop-Up.

Rectangular wooden platform that rolls on 4 wooden wheels and has a wooden cut-out Donald Duck on top. The cut-out has paper lithographs on both sides of Donald Duck wearing a white sailor's cap and blue sailor's shirt with yellow trim. Donald has 2 seperate wooden arms with paper lithographs on both sides of blue sleeves and white hands. One arm has an attached wooden baton with a red wooden ball on one end. The arm moves up and down and the baton twirls as the toy is pulled. Marked "W.D.P." and "#463". 

In 1939 Fisher-Price introduced a new toy movement design in their Donald Duck Drum Major. Though Fisher-Price had made several Donald Duck pull-toys over the years, this is the first to have a moving arm and a baton that really twirls! The same design was used in 1939's Donald Duck Drum Major with Cart. Why the cart and non-cart versions were both sold with the same model number is beyond us! Donald twirling a baton was used in several different toys from 1939 to 1948.

1939 Easter Only -  Green rectangular wooden platform.

The 1940 Easter season was the only time that this hard-to-find toy was sold. Walt Disney changed the design of Donald Duck around 1937 from a very long-bill Donald when they were known as Walt Disney Enterprises to a short bill Donald when they were known as Walt Disney Productions. In 1940, Fisher-Price used the old Donald Duck design used on 1936-1938's #460 Dapper Donald Duck to create 1940's #469 Donald Duck Chick Cart. This makes the #469 Donald Duck Chick Cart a very rare toy as it has the long-billed Walt Disney Enterprises Donald that is marked "W.D.P." for Walt Disney Productions.

Donald Duck controls the throttle on his very own steam engine. When pulled, a ball hits a nickel bell on top of the boiler. 

The collection includes a 1940 red hat version, a 1941 blue hat version and a later 1942 version with a red body and blue hat.

This smart little Easter cart features the loveable Donald Duck with swinging arms and a "quack-quack-quack" noise when pulled. 

The roomy cart is a fun alternative to a plain ole' Easter basket.

Donald Duck is quite happy to take his nephews Huey and Louie for a walk! When pulled, Donald struts along with a clicking noise while his nephews follow behind, holding springy umbrellas. The nephews are attached to Donald via wooden dowels, and the entire toy only rolls on 2 wheels. The front 2 wheels tend to break easily making this toy very hard to find intact.

Donald Duck "walks" in front of a cart, swinging his arms proudly and making a loud "quack-quack" noise as the toy is pulled.

Donald Duck wants to show off how well has can twirl his baton. Pull the toy and Donald will move his arm up and down as his baton twirls. Donald brags proudly with a loud "quack-quack" as he twirls his baton.

Over the years Fisher-Price made several different toys that featured a xylophone. However, Fisher-Price made only two xylophone toys with Donald Duck.

There are two different #500 Donald Duck With Carts. One of these was made in 1937 and the other was introduced in 1951. Although both of these toys carry the same number and name they are quite different in appearance. The biggest difference is the size of Donald's bill, as the 1937 version uses the old W.D. Ent. long-billed Donald, and the 1951 version uses the W. D. P. short-billed version. 

 Throw away that old Easter basket and replace it with the fabulous Donald Duck Cart. This toy has a roomy and colorful cart to place Easter Eggs and candy into and the cart is pulled by a fun and friend Donald Duck. When the toy is pulled, Donald pumps his legs while his feet flip-flop around and he makes a "quack-quack" noise.
