If you wanna hear the history of LPS, I can tell ya! In the early nineties, I think 1992, a brand named “Kenner” made little plastic toys called LPS. They are not like modern LPS, as they were more realistic. 4 years later in 1996, Kenner stopped making LPS. Kenner was later sold to “Tonka,” Which was later sold to “Hasbro”. That’s all about vintage LPS.
Now-G2! G2 is the most popular generation of LPS, I’m not sure why though. It was the last(until g7) generation with the original LPS. The first G2 LPS was Persian cat #460, and the last was Persian #973, marking the last G2 LPS. Then- BAD. THINGS. HAPPENED.
Time skip to 2012, when…LPS…well…Hasbro messed up. G4 came out. To be honest(my opinion), these were the UGLIEST LPS EVER. I’ve never personally had my own, but my cousin has some and they are mostly broken. (Missing limbs like legs, and the heads fell off.) You may ask:Why? It’s because they were like…plastic stick figure animals. Also, their eyes are just creepy (another opinion). Hasbro was getting phone calls. Millions. From kids and LPSTubers all around the world (or at least everywhere people had LPS). The first G4 Pet was fairy #2676, and the last was Blue bird #3632. The fairies were fine, but the ugly (in my opinion) ones started with Mouse #2684.
I skipped G3, so uhmmm- let’s get to that. It was like G1 and 2. Nothing was really special. The first G3 LPS was Bird #975, and the last was Panda #2675.
It's always nice to meet other LPS fans/collectors! I have been collecting them off and on for a very long time. I remember getting my first one many, many years ago and it was a set with two turtles and an aquarium. Was one of my favorite toys at the time.
That minus 11 didn't work on some of the boxes I found recently, it was minus 13 instead. So it seems to change how many to subtract for some instances.
G'day Jonathan my favourites out of your eclectic haul are the LPS. I love animals 💜. The comment about adding 11 to the character # makes sense. Obviously when looking at the box # you'd minus 11 then that gives you the character # 🤣. The makers are working with the governments to improve their peoples maths 🤣🤣💜🐨🦘
Hi Susanne! I love animals a lot too, especially when dolls come with pets. I will test this theory with the numbers on the LPS soon, I bought some more. Look for that video in the next couple weeks. 💜 Haha, love that about the makers working with the government, would be funny if that was true. 😂
Hiya! In case you didn’t figure out the series 2 LPS system: Look for the LPS Number- ex: LPS #87 Add 11 to the number- 87+11=98 The sum of the two numbers should correlate to the number on the box! Hope this helps 😊
