This thread is always a pleasure ! I like very much like the old one.

 

^^ Thanks, i see it as a public service to all my fellow toy-freaks!

Share and Enjoy.

 

Old catalog for a store in Osaka 1983-1985

 

Next up . . . . a plethora of POPY.

 

So much eye candy! Love the Spectreman ad! Those enamel pins are also purty spiffy! I wonder if anyone here has any? Thanks for posting these!

 

^^ you're most welcome!

Next up, Aoshima.

 

That Viking ship and figures are stupendous ! If I read the logo correctly, I believe it says Aoshima ? Must have !

 

^^ Yeah, mate - Aoshima.
That Viking ship set really stands out, doesn't it?

I get a pure hit of nostalgia when i look at ads like that -
reminds me of how much fun 'sets' were when i was a kid.
To receive a single toy was one thing, but getting a whole
set in one go was very satisfying!

Next, soft drinks & a ton of sweets/candy ads . . . .
