Mattel Battlestar Galactica Action Figure Commercial

Mantooth — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 12:48:00 +0000

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?

Mattel Suckerman Commercial

Mantooth — Fri, 23 Jun 2017 13:25:00 +0000

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.

The Incredible Dr Steel Commercial

Mantooth — Fri, 06 Dec 2013 05:00:00 +0000

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 Big Jim toy line, the concept of a villian (although he really isn’t clearly defined as such) just captivated me. I needed this toy, I had to have it!

Sadly, my mother took one look at that bald head and tattoo and nixed the whole thing. It’s another thread in the tapestry of why I’m a toy collector and also probably explains why I have no tattoos.

While I finally did get that Dr Steel, tracking down this ad makes me even happier. I’ll be including it free with my DVD package going forward.

More Big Jim than you can handle!

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 with our many other products. Everytime you purchase from us, a kitten is born.

Quick Curl Barbie, Mod Hair Ken commercial

Mantooth — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 04:00:00 +0000

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 on Ken makes him noble but a moustache means bad guy. You’ll be hearing from my brothers at the anti-facial hair defamation league Mattel! The AFHD doesn’t think kindly of unfair stereotypes!

More good news is that I’ll soon be adding all these new commercials to my existing toy commercial DVDs, so they’ll just be a bonus so to speak. I’ll debut another in the coming weeks, trust me it’s a good one.

Astro Blast Power Center Commercial

Mantooth — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 14:59:00 +0000

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 tuned.

Creepy Crawlers Thing Maker 2 Commercial

Mantooth — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:02:00 +0000

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 shot down by my folks when asking for one of these. I’d have made a real mess of things, so I forgive them…

Disco Darci

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.

Girl’s Toy Day!

Mantooth — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:14:00 +0000

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 from our DVD, first is the Barbie Townhouse.

Most Mego collectors I know would liken this to the Wayne Foundation playset but did you also know it was released for Big Jim in Europe? It was a killer spy headquarters that makes you wish you born in Italy, You can see it here.

The second commercial is for the Fashion Face, which is one of those disembodied heads you put makeup on, they creep me out and my daughter wants one, in fact, she wants this one. Something tells me I won’t find this at Toys R Us.Now, if you’ll excuse me I have go buy some toys…
