Mattel Toys on Sale in 1985

Philip Reed March 6, 2016

What an odd toy advertisement this is. This 1985 newspaper ad includes Masters of the Universe and Secret Wars action figures and vehicles on sale, but the ad neglects to show us any of those toys. I do not understand the thought process behind this ad. I wanna see the toys!!!
