Pet Playhouse Playset

The Pet Playhouse was a playset that did not come with any pets.[1]

Alternative Colors: Small accessories come in two sheets of sprue injections molds - one pink accessory sheet & one purple accessory sheet but each sheet is not consistently the same color from one box set to the next. The vanity seat and bed also came in alternate colors. - See photos below for color comparison.[2] The peach color shown in photos generally shows signs of discoloration or possibly regrind (a recycling of plastic during the manufacturing process) since there is usually an uneven distribution of pink coloration in the plastic.
