The cover is unusual too. How often do you see Raggedy Andy without Raggedy Ann?

Color me surprised. Looks like something Ron Burgundy would have in his medicine cabinet.

Gets better than average ratings, surprisingly.

Tabac must be some kind of miracle substance. It comes in a spray can, bottle, tube, and jar.

"Yeah, like i'm gonna eat something this guy offers me, I'd wake up stuffed in a jack in the box."
Oh my sides! Don't do that. :D :D :D

This is literally everything that was fantastic and wrong with the 70s all at once.

Tree decorations had become excessive to the point of becoming a self parody. Even the toys were getting that tacky vibe to them. A hot pink teddy? That... whatever it is lurking under the far right of the tree? Toy designers were failing as hard as the catalog team. No wonder poor old Raggedy Andy has a "help. get me out of here. please." expression.

...and those leering terrifying little elves. Hauntedheadful was thinking Twilight Zone, this Anon says they're even worse than that. Those two are ready for an episode of Tales From The Dark Side.

"going somewhere"? Serious unintentional creepiness.

But the merchandise... <3 Even the copy is wonderful.

Is it bad that my first thought on seeing the pictures was to want to say that there were no Elves in the photos and try and make the Plaids think they bought a haunted Catalogue?

Why do I get the feeling that there is bomb attached to that wire instead of Christmas Lights in the first picture. Choose they yellow or red light very carefully…

I had a Twilight Zone moment as I mistook Simpson catalogue logo for "The Simpsons"TV show logo(Theyre practically the same)then went on to think"Wheres the Simpsons?"and "Wait…theres no Simpsons in 1971!"All told,the Elves wouldn't be so bad if they had kind eyes,the squinty,shifty look on their face makes them more akin to Gremlins then Santas helpers.Has there been a horror movie about killer elves from the North Pole?Maybe Asylum can crank out a theatrical release by Christmas Eve!

Here in the UK we have the "Elf on the shelf" keeping an eye on your kids for Santa! Personally I think it's down to good parenting and not giving kids nightmares about creepy Elves!!- Mark J
