The GLO FRIENDS Musical Glo Land was made in 1985 by Hasbro Preschool / Hasbro Bradley. The playset included a finger puppet exclusive to the set, called Glo Bedbug. He came with a Collector Card but did NOT come with a little bag. He comes sealed in a little plastic bag.

The box reads "Come to the magical music treehouse hideway where GLO Bedbug and the GLO Friends play". The treehouse set includes 3 pieces of furniture (umbrella table set, leaf chair, and see-saw), an elevator, a musical swing, and a GLO Pond that lights up (including any Glo Friend that is placed on it).

There were two different color sets for the furniture. All base parts (table and see-saw base) were orange. But the other pieces were either blue or purple. They were randomly placed in the box, not a matching set. Like the picture on the box shows, you could get a blue see-saw, blue umbrella, and a pink chair. With two color sets, this means the pieces shown on the box aren't necessarily the same colors you'll get inside your box. I have two sets but the blue set is incomplete. Thought I'd show you for reference.

Glo Land, aka Glo Friends Treehouse, is a fairly rare set to find complete, especially with a box. Don't overspend on it unless you're really desperate. Usually, with a little time and patience, you will come across one for a fair price. This is usually the case with many Glo Friends items.

My set shows the doors off the house, pictured separately. Most Glo Land Tree Houses are missing doors or with broken doors. I store mine off the house, and simply placed them on the house without snapping them in, for a few pictures. That's why they look a little strange on.

This playset is hard to find, but rare in the box. Still sealed is super rare. Because the price of this item varies so much, I will say that I just saw one go for under $20 (which is low). But I've also seen them go for $100. I would say if it was boxed, $75 and up is about right. If you got it for less, you got a good deal. If it's loose, and complete, it would probably be $50 or less. If it goes for more, it probably was an impatient buyer. I couldn't tell  you the value of a sealed box, or sealed Bedbug.
