    Polistil "Storia Delle Grandi Battaglie" magazine ads

    A few more ads for the Mego/Lion Rock WWII line.

    This time it's not Palitoy but Polistil, ... which once was called Politoys (confusing, isn't it ?).

    These have been published in the Italian magazine "Topolino" (Mickey Mouse).
    According to my research, the first one is from Topolino #1146, from Nov. 13th 1977:



    The list of the figures in the lower left of the ad is interesting because it contains two figures that,
    as far as I know, have never been released: "1-Alpino" and "8-Bersagliere":



    Not part of the Italian line were the "Italian Partisan" and the "French Foreign Legion"
    as well as the four figures that were also missing in the French and German release
    (US Seabee, Marauder, Paratrooper and British Tank Commander).

    More:



    I found 5 different ads so far.



    If anyone grew up in Italy and has Topolino books from 1977, could you please check if there are more of these ads ?



    And one more:

      It's just amazing how much product existed that none of us had the slightest idea about. Staggering really.
