Who remembers pickled people

Who remembers pickled people #pickledpeople #genx #pantyhose #nylons #70s

6 days agoEdited to

If you grew up in the 70s or have an interest in vintage toys, you might remember the quirky charm of Pickled People. These were not your ordinary plush toys—they were crafted using pantyhose and stuffed inside glass bottles, giving them a distinctive look and feel that was quite unlike traditional stuffed animals. I came across a vintage Pickled Plush People item, made by RNC Creations in the USA around 1978, which made me realize how unique and creative these collectibles were. What made Pickled People special was the clever use of materials. The hosiery provided a soft, stretchy outer layer, while the stuffing allowed for a basic human shape. Their feet and other parts were carefully shaped inside the bottles, which preserved these toys and made them fascinating display pieces that could be 'picked' out and admired at any time. Many Gen Xers fondly recall these as a nostalgic part of their childhood, linking to an era when DIY and handmade toys had a special place in homes. Buying or selling these today can be quite interesting. I noticed that some pieces are still available on collector sites like DealGiant111 with high positive feedback, showing ongoing interest. Prices vary, but you can find deals around $40, sometimes with coupon discounts or payment plans through services like Klarna. What’s really appealing is how these collectible pieces connect generations through their unique story and craft. If you’re a vintage toy lover or just curious about retro craft trends, Pickled People represent a fun intersection of creativity, resourcefulness, and nostalgia. They also offer insight into the kinds of homemade or semi-homemade toys popular in the 70s, before mass-produced plastic toys dominated the market. Next time you see a vintage toy fair, keep an eye out for Pickled People—you might discover a charming piece of history to add to your collection!
