“Meet the Masters of the Universe Characters In Person!”
This newspaper ad from the November 24, 1983 issue of the Spokesman-Review offers up a double batch of fun: both toys on sale and a chance to meet Mattel’s Masters of the Universe characters at JCPenny.
Now how could any fan of Masters of the Universe (Amazon.com search*) in 1983 not look at this ad and immediately want to visit the toy department? And just look at how many “not included” mentions there are in this one ad. Man, they sure didn’t want kids to think the those toys came with more than was actually in the pack.
