    We Don't Monkey Around!

    "Giantway" is the coolest name for a store ever. This ad makes me giddy.

    I love all the manufacturers listed to differentiate the products.
    It really shows the breadth of licensing POTA enjoyed at it's peak.

      I love how "Addar" became "A Door" must have been verbally communicated.

        I knew that wasn't correct,
        I just couldn't recall the Addar name.

        I bet the the name "Multiple" must have led to some confusion as well.

          Was it/Is it practice to list the manufacturers in these types of ads? I don't remember seeing the Mego name next to the figures in store ads.

            Do you have any ads from Two Guys? I LOVED that store when I was a kid. They had THE BEST toy department!

              It really was the norm, quite surprising.

                Now I am REALLY excited!!! I loved Two Guys as a kid. The one near me (Levittown, PA) had an arcade and mini-bowling lanes in the center. I can't begin to count the number of times I was kicked out of that wonderful store. Someday I will own a Mego with a Two Guys price sticker. (Yes, I've seen Benjamin's beautiful carded Batgirl.)

                    Oh man, I had that rifle and mask set. I vividly remember ripping it open in the car after my Mom purchasing it for me at the local Montgomery Wards. Would love to add that to my collection someday.

                        Yes i second that some TWO GUYS ads is a must, I rember the one in Lawnside NJ having a great toy department and always had a great selection of MEGO goodness was always hard to pick one figure from there stock what i wouldn't give to be able to go back in time. Never heard of Giantway but there ad appears to make them a POTA headquarters
