An early commercial from Mego introducing their new Micronauts line. The great thing about this ad is the way it's pitched to kids (Look! Shiny! Things you want!) yet it's clearly designed for parents, with a level-headed, trustworthy science teacher-type explaining how the toys encourage imagination and creativity.
These days the commercial would probably be just lots of CGI and shouting...
Man so many wonderful memories brought back by that TV Ad.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was aired in the UK... :(
ReplyDeleteBummer Iok.
ReplyDeleteNow I think about it, I don't think that ad was shown. If I recall correctly, the UK's Micronauts releases were very limited - I don't think half the toys were available in Britain...
