Clown Catalog

Below is an insert that came packaged with the Clown Around Playsets. It's interesting to see how some of the figures depicted in the insert differ from the production figures.

School House

"Clown School is a quaint, one-room, red schoolhouse with a bell in a tower to ring for class. Comes with teachers and student clowns. Complete with 1 teacher's desk, 2 student desks."

The School House came with Our Miss Clown, Hookie Clown, two student desks, and one teacher's desk.

       

Clown Around Paddy Wagon

"This comical paddy wagon comes with cop and crook clowns to keep clown city safe. With Clown Around cop and Pugsey the crook clown."

In the image from below from the catalog, you can see Pugsey had a much different color scheme.

Calliope Cab

"The fanciful cab is used to escort the clowns around clown city."

The Calliope Cab came with Chauncey the Unicorn and the Clown Cabbie.

Clown Cabbie

Clown House

"Clown School is a quaint, one-room, red schoolhouse with a bell in a tower to ring for class. Comes with teachers and student clowns. Complete with 1 teacher's desk, 2 student desks."

The Clown Around House came with Ma and Pa Clown, two beds, one table, and decals. You'll  notice that on the box, Ma and Pa look different than their production figures. Ma is a completely different mold (using Our Miss Clown's mold) and Pa has a different color scheme.

Ma and Pa also came carded individually. 

C65 Napoleon Clownapart

One of the rare 2nd series clowns. Napoleon one of the cooler clowns. He does come up on eBay every now and then, usually in large lots.

C64 Long Clown Silver

Arrrr ye clowns! A must have clown for your collection! A rare second series clown. He comes up on eBay in lots, but he isn't a common clown to find. One of my favorites. 

C62 Santa Clown

The last clown I got for a complete set! I would say he ranks as one of the rare clowns to find. I found my in a lot of clowns on eBay.

C59 Richard M. Clown

Ronald Reagan isn't the only president who received the Clown treatment. Here we have the 37th president, Richard M. Nixon, as a clown. I wonder why Mego neglected to make Gerald Clown and Jimmy Clownter figures?

C56 W.C. Clown

You won't see children's figures holding mugs of beer anymore. This one is modeled after classic comedian W.C. Fields.

C52 “Bo” Clown

Bo Clown (or Andy Clown, as he is called that on the back of the series two cards). He isn't the most common clown to get. He is holding a brief case in his left hand. In his right hand? A clip board? Wallet? Maybe he is a business man checking into a hotel?
