    Popular Kenner Toys as seen on TV


    I got an early Christmas present in my mailbox the other day in the form of these Kenner store display photos, which were likely meant as internal documents showcasing their hottest toys for 1978.
    As we all know that was a year of Bionic Men and Women, Stretch Armstrong and massive block buster known as Star Wars. These photos make me weak in the knees.

            Anyone want to dare guess what the market value for that display would be today in that condition? You could buy a freakin' Lexus with a trade-in like that.

                That is a sight for sore eyes! Thx for posting.
                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                  Very cool. I never realized Kenner made Spirograph. Who didn't have that?

                    Given the scale of those toys, that spinning rack must be MASSIVE!

                      I got my Bionic Woman stuff in '77. Of course I had Playdoh, and my brother had Spirograph.

                      'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
                      Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                      If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                          One toy you don't see very often is the Six Million Dollar Man Dual Launch Drag Race Set.
