Happy Friday! Here is another commercial transfer, this it the original Mattel Battlestar Galactica Action Figure commercial from 1979, a new transfer of the original reel. It’s kind of ironic that this features mainly the ‘peg warming” characters like Imperious leader, Ovion and Daggit. Also, why does Starbuck talk like a robot? follow us on […]
Happy Friday, here is another one from the recently digitized archive, the original commercial for Mattel’s Suckerman. Suckerman definitely fit in with the gimmick figures like Stretch Armstrong and Krusher, they could have formed a League to stop Stretch Monster and Gre-Gory. Enjoy.
Today is an epic day for Plaidstallions. I finally tracked down the film reel to a commercial that has haunted me since 1975 and I get to share it with all of you. I remember it vividly, watching Space:1999 on my parent’s black and white TV when this commercial aired. Already a fan of the […]
Here is another recently converted reel from my commercial collection. Schaper Super Toe football starring Mongo himself, Alex Karras. (Link to commercial on Youtube) We featured the Super Toe line a while back on the site, the catalog link is below: These commercials will soon be available at our store (which is right here) along […]
Good news, I stumbled on some more toy commercial reels and after years of sitting on my desk, I had them converted. First up is a little something for the ladies in the form of this early commercial. Here is a link if you can’t see the embed code. I love how putting side burns […]
Uploaded this commercial from the 70s Toy Explosion DVD to our facebook page. So if it doesn’t come up head on over here. I totally remember this commercial, especially the awkward “almost four stories” line from the window washer, it’s how I learned what a story was. Next Sunday, I’ll be launching another contest so stay […]
Mattel relaunched their popular Thing Makers from the 60s in a new version that wouldn’t permanently scar you (seriously I know people with scars).This commerical from our DVD is kind of bittersweet for me, the happy part is realizing that it’s narrated by Jackie “Uncle Fester” Coogan. but I’m also reminded how quickly I was […]
It’s raining here, all yard sales and outdoor fairs are cancelled and I’m feeling like just staying in and watching movies. So here is a movie for everybody, this is a 1979 commercial for Kenner’s Disco Darci line, something I don’t remember but love the fact that it’s Disco.More Video:
Seeing as it’s my darlin’ daughter’s birthday today and her long (and much missed) afternoon naps are what inspired me to create this blog three years and five days ago (which I probably should have mentioned) I thought I’d dedicate the day to her favorite subject, dolls! In this case Barbie’s with two classic commercials […]
