1982 Masters of the Universe Newspaper Advertisement
Yesterday we saw one of the last Masters of the Universe action figure ads of the eighties (posted here) which made me think it could be fun to look at one of the earliest ads for the line. That’s where this Daily News ad from New York, New York on May 13, 1982, comes into play. Actually, not all that much of a difference in price now that I look at both ads. Odd.
Wow, I didn’t realize they were so expensive back then! It would have been hard for me to justify spending that much on one figure, when it could have gotten me at least 2 G.I. Joes.
Am I imagining things, or do those figures all look a little “off” in that picture?
