1979 Battlestar Galactica Toys in the Heroes World Catalog . . . Again?
A few days ago I posted a page of Battlestar Galactica toys from the Heroes World catalog. You didn’t think that was the end of the Battlestar Galactica advertising, did you? This time around we’re back in 1979 for the second issue of Heroes World and more of Mattel’s Battlestar Galactica toys.
I’d love to see anyone take a shot at creating toy ads today using hand-illustrated representations of the toys. These old comic ads are cheesy and so much fun that I want to see today’s Transformers and Star Wars toys advertised with illustrations rather than photos. Maybe I’m weird.
