Mattel’s “Captain Power” in Popular Science

You remember Captain Power, right? Mattel’s action figure and television series in which the toys used lights and science to interact with the television. I never got that into the series, and have only had limited interaction with the toys over the years, but that doesn’t prevent me from enjoying this 1988 Popular Science magazine article.

Thank you, Google, for archiving so many great things from the eighties!
