In 1985 and 1986 there was a handful of GLO FRIENDS playsets made that included one Animal friend who was sold with a finger puppet exclusive to that set, not sold separately. Glo Turtle and his friend Glo Hopper were the first to be sold on the market. Probably because it was successful, Playskool followed up with 4 more Animal sets.

Turtle & Hopper did come with Collector Cards, but no sleeping bag for Hopper (that I know of). The next 4, did not come with any Collector Cards or bags (again, that I know of). The set of 4 were: Dipper Duckling & Waterbug, Bully Frog & Sluggerbug, Country Mouse & Cappybug, and Bunny Rabbit with Garden Ant.

I included a picture in this post of both Glo Hopper and Glo Shuttlebug. This is to show Hopper's packaging, but also a comparison to Shuttlebug's packaging. Both were made to peek out the plastic window in the cardboard box packaging.

There were two more playsets that included an exclusive finger puppet, but those are covered in a different post! Obviously, one is Shuttlebug! But I'll talk more about him in the other post. ;)
