Comic Ad: Mattel Shogun Warriors

[RSS]

It's a holiday here today and technically that means I'm supposed to be assembling patio furniture and cleaning my garage. However, I couldn't resist posting this knock out ad from the summer of 1979 that I poured over for many an hour.For more Fashion Mockery and 70's toy love visit us at Plaid Stallions.com

I've always wondered if Herb Trimpe did that art, it sure looks like him, and he was on the comic at the time, too.

Awesome, I remember that ad. I don't think I've ever seen one of those iron-on transfers floating around.

I remember that ad as well. Never had a Shogun Warrior until the mid 80s, when I got the die-cast Poseidon at a yard sale.

I didn't know that the Liabe was added to the SW Line. It's one of my favorite Popy pieces.

I really want the iron on. Do you think if sent in the end flaps they'd send me one?

I remember having the Shogun Godzilla, my friend had the Warriors so we had some classic battles,
I could never find the Rodan shogun, because I wanted the Rodan Godzilla team up, Rodan must have been
very rare, wish I found it.
