G.I. Joe Action Figures on Sale at JCPenny in 1982

Philip Reed December 17, 2016

October 25, 1982. We’ve seen this exact illustration before in a different JCPenny newspaper ad, but this time around the advertisement lists both Hasbro’s G.I. Joe and Kenner’s Star Wars action figures on sale. This particular ad is also well worth a closer look because it also shows The Dukes of Hazzard toys and mini-arcade cabinets. So many great eighties toys in one place!
