Toy Ads That Time Forgot Tuesday: 02-05-07

by

Let’s bust out an old Star Wars ad from a cartoon that I fondly remember:

That’s right this is for Droids, one of the two Star Wars Saturday morning cartoons. Both Droids and it’s sister cartoon Ewoks first aired at the very end of Star Wars original popularity, so naturally toys made from these licenses are some of the rarest ones in the crazy world Star Wars collecting. In fact, in Brian’s Toys latest buy list they were offering two grand for a loose Vlix. Good luck searching for one at yard sales to get rich quick, Vlix was more common in Brazil and was basically nonexistent in the states.

Who knew that those kids in the ad are playing with a small fortune worth of toys, or that those very toys went on clearance racks in the 80s?

    I remember that commercial! Thanks for a little walk down memory lane!

    I should have stolen my brother’s SW toys and hidden them!
