This could be split off as a separate thread with "Playpeople" in the title - I nearly missed this Playpeople discussion!
I had Playpeople as a kid, I think it was set 1730 "Cowboys and Indians Superset" because I definitely had an Indian canoe, and my favorite two figures were the "white with red arms" and "green with white arms".
Both suffered from stoopy back before long, and I wish I'd known how to disassemble klickies back then so I could have fixed them.
Later I added knights and some roadworkers, but the cowboys were always #1 for me.
