Starlog Ads: Random late 70s to Mid 80s

Since I was doing some scanning for the Halloween ad posts, I thought I'd throw out a few fun ads I ran across.


Filmation animation cel prints
Man, did I ever want those Batman cels when I was a kid. These things were advertised forever, so you'd think these would pop-up from time to time. But I've never ran across any.


Star Wars Masks


Super 8 SciFi movies


NIXON VS ROBOCOP!!!
Actually just a goofy shot from a Starlog letters page for some Boy's Club charity thing. Looks like Robocop's wearing a hoodie under his helmet.

Revenge of the Ads PREVIEW

I've worked up the next round of old ads that will be accompanying various posts on some dead retailers like TG&Y, VENTURE and GIBSON'S; vintage toy ads, and other pointless nostalgia.

I've also wrangled up some mid-80s local Oklahoma City TV listings, so expect a follow up to the UHF memories post.

And, now... a sneak peak at some sexy old ads.

Kiddie City, 1972

Star Wars at Target, 1978

TG&Y, Christmas 1981 (I think)

Coleco Vision at Sound Warehouse, late 70s

ECKERD Drugs Christmas ad, mid 80s
