80's Ads (Toys and More)

Going through the files on an old hard drive I found some old ads I scanned to post on an old website I used to write for. I love these things. I hope you guys enjoy them. All of these were in some very old newspapers stored in the finishing room of the woodshop of the high school where work. I founds them during my first year as a teacher and brought them home to scan. I posted a few other ads a while back.

Hasbro Cops ('n' Crooks) Figures - Sundown, Barricade, Dr. Badvibes, and Big Boss.


Kenner Bone Age - I never had any of these dino skeletons as a kid.


 Children's Gift Slippers featuring Tonka, GI Joe, and Alf!


Power Wheels Battery-Operated Ride-Ons - Check out the GI Joe Tracker. It's a trike.


Moon Boots! Napoleon Dynamite eat your heart out.


Nintendo Entertainment System Action Set and Games


Mattel Hot Wheels Color Racers - I had this set of three color change cars.


Hasbro GI Joe Battle Force 2000 - I actually posted these two ads before, but since these scans were nicer I'm re-posting them.

    An fascinating discussion is value comment. I think that it is best to write extra on this matter, it won’t be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
