Eaton’s Toy Land 1979

Eaton’s Toy Land 1979


This one’s kind of personal to me, seeing as my mom seemed to do most of her Christmas shopping with her Eaton’s Card. Three years after they stopped making Wishbooks, Eaton’s department stores made this cool newspaper circular that featured the hot toys of the time. From Muppets to Micronauts, Star Wars to Green Machines, the 1979 Eaton’s Toy Flier is one fun time warp.
