Bozo gives away Mattel Toys

[RSS]

I'm loving this 1976 press release about Bozo and Mattel, a lot of the things being given away are really collectible right now. Of course my favourite of the shot is the Big Jim P.A.C.K Beast that is front and center.

Look at that sweet Jack Kirby Goodness, all toy companies should have had the king do at least one package for them...

I hate to sound like a girl, but I have 2 of those Hush Lil' Baby dolls. I had a black one as a kid.

And on the right, the Barbie Townhouse, the design of which Mego "borrowed" for the Wayne Foundation.

and that's how I always referred to it until recently, "the batman barbie towhouse". I always thought it was a barbie towhouse with different graphics but it's a totally unrelated toy.

That's hilarious! Love the old toys. I have that "Barbie Townhouse" in storage & I'm not ashamed to admit it!

Very neat. I can recall watching re-runs of Bozo in the '80s, giving away toys from the '70s that I had never heard of.

Wow, I never thought about it, but what a cruel trick the TV stations play when they show re-runs of shows that give away prizes no longer on the market!
