1980 JC Penny Toy Land Flyer

[RSS]

I am a complete junkie for toy store newspaper flyers, they are just such a wonderfully illustrated time capsule of our childhoods.


This beautiful piece from JC Penny in 1980 is a pretty terrific example of why I love these, so many old friends are here.


From bikes to big wheels, Barbie to Ms Piggy, Fisher Price Little People to Kenner Star Wars, it's a fantastic cross section of Childhood:1980.

I had a pair of those blue Fireball skates when I was 14 (which is when this flyer came out!).

Gotta love that artwork.

Wrist Racers hung around for a while. I had Dukes of Hazzard versions as a kid, and then picked up a Batmobile version in 1989!

Why did flyers draw their artwork ?

There must have been pictures used for reference for the drawings anyway.

Why bother ?
