April, 1985 Transformers Dinobots Newspaper Advertisement

I posted a 1985 Jumpstarters ad a few days ago that caught my eye because of how early it appeared in 1985. The second year of Transformers toys reached store shelves much earlier than my memory was telling me, and as proof there’s this April 3, 1985, Odessa American newspaper ad showing the Dinobots in time for Easter! Hey, do kids still see Easter as a second Christmas and get some cool toys on Easter morning?
