Your welcome. Still another 80+ commercials to go up over the holidays. So I'll keep you updated as more go up!

Those are excellent!

Tom Baker does the Action man Gargon one, brilliant.

Speaking of which, did you see the latest Dr Who?

These look amazing. Looking forward to seeing the old Palitoy Star Wars commercials restored. Thanks for all your hard work!

So....Rom was part of Action Man? That is unreal! Thanks for doing this!

That Baby Alive commercial reminds me why so many girls wanted boy toys in the 70s. Boys got spacemen, aliens, monsters, cavemen and dinos with cool action features like lights and sounds. Girls got baby dolls that cried and soiled themselves, lol.

Yes. We also some how got lumbered with The Gargon and Bulletman. I've managed to avoid all three as a collector on purpose as they just don't "belong". However, in the name of research I now have a bulletman. All I can say is that those US bodies were awfull compared to Palitoys dynamic bodies ( having shifted away from the original Joe tooling )

Gargon and Rom still banned!

Yeah, but statistically they live longer than us so they will eventually inherit all our cool stuff. So it's a win / win for them.

Sadly only two on these current reels. The changed ad agency in 1980 and I'm currently negotiating. However, they have no film... Just 1 inch tape Masters. Still a lit better than what's currently available

For anyone that may have missed it, here are a few screen grabs from the uncompressed files from my recent telecine.
