Spotted Online – GoBots 1984 Catalog
Old toy catalogs from the eighties always make me think of how far the toy industry has fallen in three decades. Where once toylines included marketing works like this 1984 GoBots catalog inside the box — and it’s an awesome catalog — today we get basically nothing. I know the internet shows off all of the stuff easily enough, but can anything really replace the fun of opening a catalog and staring at all of the toys on the pages?
