Reproduction is was a series of black and white line drawings of toy products provided to vendors for newspaper advertisements. It is something of a lost artform in this digital age and something I both admire and collect.
I’ve compiled a gallery of repro art for Mattel’s 1975 Big Jim line, as I’m pretty fond of the guy. It’s a great look at the whole assortment for that year, including the birth of the P.A.C.K!
