1974 Newspaper Ad for Big Jim’s Sky Commander Carrying Case
As I work at snapping pics of the Big Jim Sky Commander carrying case — and trust me, photographing this 4-foot monster isn’t easy — I thought it would be fun to share this 1974 newspaper ad with you guys. And hey, I learned something new: Barbie also had the exact same carrying case/playset only with different artwork. Mattel sure know how to take advantage of their product engineering back in the seventies and eighties!
