Marx sure made a buttload of Hanna-Barbera toys and games, but one of the more unique pieces in their catalog had to be their playsets. These contained figurines of various characters, plenty of props and buildings, and, in the case of this Flintstones one, a playmat.
Unfortunately, only two were made: The Flintstones and Yogi Bear. However, there were plans for another set. This third playset would have been for The Jetsons, and you can take a look at it below.
These are sculptures of the Jetsons family and various props intended for a playset that was never put into production. Why it wasn't made is unclear, but if I had to guess, perhaps the other playsets weren't selling as well as Marx had hoped. Even in these proto forms, though, these are honestly pretty good representations of the Jetsons, and I love that the Foodarackacycle was included. It's a shame these weren't made, but at least we have archived auction listings to show us what could've been.
