Mattel’s BraveStarr in 1986
There are days it feels like we can find anything in old newspapers. As proof, take a look at this December 16, 1986, discovery of a Mattel employee and BraveStarr action figures. There’s no story associated with the photo, leaving me to ask: How good was Mattel’s PR department to get this completely random promotion distributed by the Associated Press just before Christmas in 1986?
