AFX Factory Cars - You can tell this is a 70's ad as it just has the look.

AFX G-Plus Penny Sale - A sale on cool slot cars? What could be better than that?
AFX Racing - I remember these race cars when I was a kid. Wonder what I did with mine?

Aurora American Astronaut Model - A nice picture of an astronaut. Looks like another good model from Aurora.
Aurora Beat the Champ - This one features a famous racer that I never heard of. But then I am not too familiar with many racers. But with a cool nickname like Fireball, he must have been pretty good.
Aurora Bride of Frankenstein Model - A nice ad for the Bride of Frankenstein and a Witch model. Aurora made some of the nicest models ever.
Aurora Cigarbox Racers - Racing cars that come in cigar boxes. Talk about setting a good example.
Aurora Contest - They dare you to enter this contest. Sorry to let you know, but you are about 30 years too late for the contest, so save the postage.
Aurora Flamethrowers Cars - These cars had working headlights! I remember how much fun it was to race at night with headlights, until your car went off the track and you had to go turn on the lights to find it.
Aurora Get Smart - A cool shot of Maxwell Smart and his shoe phone. I am still waiting to buy one.

Aurora Monster Models - See Scary monsters! This is quite an enjoyable ad for some of the finest models ever made. They may not have the detail of a huge ship, but they had something else, character!
Aurora Monster Models #2 - Another ad for the great Aurora models. Man I wished I kept mine.
Aurora Movie Monsters - This one has King Kong and Godzilla! I was a huge fan of both monsters as a kid and I still am.

Aurora Sports Models #2 - This one has the two above sports stars plus three more!

Avalanche - A board game that probably inspired Plinko on the Price is Right.
Barbie and Midge - An ad for Carnation Milk where you could get free Mattel toys including Barbie and Midge.

Bionic Man Mission Control - All great action figures had to have a building for you to buy. And the bionic man was no different.
Bionic Man Movie Viewer - Yeah, he hawked stuff other than action figures and lunch boxes.
Bionic Woman -Not only a Bionic Woman ad, but one for her beauty salon!
Bionic Woman Dome House - A cool house for one bad lady. And I mean that in a good way.
Blythe - A doll that has groovy clothes and can change her eye color. I could change a doll's eye color too, it is called magic marker.
BJ and the Bear - A model for the big rig from the TV Show, BJ and the Bear.
Black Hole Action Figures - Want to sell toys to kids, don't make them look like a bunch of middle age people. Might as well call it "Your Parents Action Figures".

Boaterific #2 - Another ad for the cool boats with outboard motors!
Buddy L Trucks - These are the real steel trucks. You know, the ones that can dent your head.
Captain Action - Forget Captain Action, we want the Dr. Evil action figure. Sorry, but he does not look anything like Mike Myers.
Captain Action Parachute - If they ever bring back Captain Action a good slogan would be "Get some Action with Captain Action." Or maybe not.
Captain Aurora - Now here is a dork. It looks like the guy is wearing a hairstyle that was in style back in .... actually never.
Car Models - A nice collection of vintage car models from 1919 up. Not sure what they looked like in real life, but the ad looks good.
Chip Away - The toy that requires you to chip it out, paint it and clean up the mess. Sounds too much like work to me.

Corgi 2 - Another ad for Corgi DC Hero cars.

Daisy Diamond Hunting Trip - Want to get your mom to agree to let you kill small animals? Bribe her with jewelry. Works everytime. How do you think you came to be?
Daisy Defender - I must applaud this ad for being very patriotic. While I am not a big fan of b-b guns, this is a very nice ad.
Daisy Handbook - One thing I will give Daisy, they may have sold air rifles but they made an effort to get the message across of how to be responsible with them.
Daisy Toy Guns - I love an ad for a gun that says "harmless". Sure it does not shoot but there are other ways you can get in trouble with a toy gun.
Dan Gurney Road Rally - Not sure who Dan Gurney is, but he must be someone to have his own toy set.
Dark Shadows Model Kit - With Barnabas and a werewolf!
Dick Tracy Tommy Gun - A cool looking machine gun that is endorsed by Dick Tracy himself.
Ding-A-Lings - No, this has nothing to do with that Chuck Berry song. These are robot toys.

Easy Bake Oven #2 - Who is the phantom who is stealing the goodies from the Easy Bake Oven?
Easy Curl - Want pretty, curly hair? Head to the toy aisle. Huh?
Electric Baseball - An ad for one of the first electronic handheld games. Wonder how many kids got zapped from it?
Electric Football - I loved these as a kid. The vibrating field that made your guys go whatever way they wanted. Those were the days.
Electric Football #2 - Another fun ad for Electric Football, the 1950 edition. Love those leather helmets with no face mask.
Electric Football #3 - Another cool ad for the game that shakes.
Electric Monorail - Not the best picture, but you get the idea. Like the one built in Springfield, only more reliable.
Energized Spiderman - This isn't your father's Spiderman (actually it may be, depending on your age), rather it is ENERGIZED SPIDERMAN! He climbs, shines light, the boy is awesome!
Erector Sets - Ad for the toy that allows you to build a bridge. Just don't try driving over it.
Erector Sets #2 - Another ad for the toy that started many kids on the road to being an architect.
Erector Sets Amusement Parks - You can build all kinds of rides from the amusement parks. Cool!
Evel Knievel - Anyone over 30 fondly remembers this daredevil. We all wanted to be Evel (except when he crashed, ouch!), but there was only one true Evel Knievel. At least we could play with the toys!
Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle 2 - Another ad for one of my childhood heroes! I can remember jumping over 20 cars, just like Evel. Granted mine were hot wheels, but the dream was the same.
Evel and Robbie Knievel - How cool would it have been to be Robbie Knievel?
Fearsome Foursome-If that name doesn't get you to check it out, nothing will.
Fighting Ships - Another ad for the teeny tiny toys. When you were young, you were overwhelmed by the sheer number of toys you got, until you realize that they are the size of a goldfish cracker.
Flashback Race Car Set - Another nice ad from Aurora. I think half the ads in this section are from Aurora.
Four Bargains - Half naked doll in a seductive pose, a smoking cowboy, exactly who are they selling these toys to?
Gabbigail - An ad for a doll that speaks Spanish. Sorta the ancestor of Dora the Explorer.
Gigantic Frankenstein - The friend for weird kids. Imagine walking down the street with your Frankie buddy. Sure to get some stares and comments.
GI Joe Club #2 - What toy ad section would be complete without at least one GI Joe ad? This is the first of many for the GI Joe Club.
GI Joe Club #2 - Another classic ad starring Andy and George.
GI Joe Club #3 - Like the action figure, you can never have enough GI Joe ads.
GI Joe Club #4 - See the soldiers get decorated and I don't mean by Barbie.
GI Joe Club #5 - The 5 Star Jeep looks and sounds really cool!

GI Joe Club #9 - This one has the Alpine Patrol and the Deep Sea Diver. I wanted those as a kid.
GI Joe Meets Atomic Man - Looks like a cheap knockoff of the Bionic Man to me.
GI Joe Meets Bulletman - A man that flies like a bullet. And he looks just like the golden age character. Cool stuff.

Gilbert Science Toys - There are quite a few toys shown on this two page ad. Enjoy!
Go-Bots - Another of the many popular robot toys of the 1980's.

Guns of the West Shootin' Outfits - Some nice cowboy outfits for the little buckaroos.
Hot Birds Metal Airplanes - When I hear hot birds, I think of chicken wings but that is me. These are some pretty cool looking planes but I am not sure about this nearly invisible string.
Hot Wheels - Every toy car collector (and there are a ton of them, just drive by any toy or box store before they open and see them standing out there) will drool over this page. Not sure what these are worth, but I am guessing quite a bit.
Hot Wheels Rod Runner - This is a cool device that sends your Hot Wheels ripping around the track.
Hot Wheels Super-Charger - I had a cousin who had this set-up and we got hours and hours of fun out of it.
Hot Wheels Tune-Up Tower - Another cool accessory for your Hot Wheel cars.
Ideal Car Racing Track - Race tracks were a big when I was growing up. And here is one that I really wanted.

Kabala - Bring fortune telling home with Kabala. Now you can win the lottery like all the psychics do.
Karate Kid - Now you can be Danielsan and wash the car and paint the house. What fun!
KMT Electric Train Set - I was a big fan of race tracks and my brother was into the train sets. We always talked about combining the two, but we never did.
Lazer Tag - A cute ad for the game that would become a phenomenon that is still played to this day.
Lazer Tag #2 - Made to resemble a comic page, this is another ad for the popular lazer tag.
Lazer Tag #3 - For some reason, when I look at this ad, it makes me think of the Planet of the Apes.
Lionel Train Catalog - Here was an ad for a catalog of Lionel Trains. An ad for a book that is an advertisement. Hmmm. Anyway, I bet the catalog is worth some money these days.
Lone Ranger Model Kit - More Aurora models, this time featuring the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
M-16 Marauder - See the young boy with his toy gun. Back then it was cute, now it is dangerous.
Magnetic Batman - Batman and Robin figures with magnetic hands and feet. Think of the possibilities.
Major Matt Mason - An action figure with some ridiculous accessories. Look at that moon suit. Not even Devo would wear that.
Marvel Mood Rings - This has to be one of the most ridiculous items I have come across. Mood rings with Marvel characters. They don't get any more trendy or corny than this one!
Mask - I was done with toys by the time these came out, but I had alot of requests for newer toy ads.
Masters of the Universe - He-Man was one cool hero, even if his alter-ego was a weenie. And the green tiger was pretty cool too.

Matchbox Superfast - All they need is some of those speed lines behind the cars to give them the feeling of motion.
Matchbox Super 6 - Six cool Matchbox cars! Just add some track.

Mego Wayne Foundation - Another Mego ad, but this time it is for the Wayne Foundation playset.

Monagram Snap-Tite Van Model - How can you not want a van with a pun for a name like the "Vanana Split".

Moonbase Model - The moonbase lander and astronauts. NASA logos optional.
MPC Monsters - These are like those magic tricks where you turn it and something changes. Pretty cool.
MPC Zingers - Imagine cars and vans with ridiculously large engines. If you have problems doing that, look at this ad.
Munsters Coach - We all thought the Munsters Coach car was the bomb. Here is a model that you could build and then bomb.

Patty Prayer - A praying doll, how special.
Pete Rose Batting Practice - OK, get the jokes out about how it is the Pete Rose Betting Practice.

Rat Patrol Hobby Kit - Remember the Rat Patrol? If you do, they you probably had the model kit as well.
Razzy Racers - I remember cool racing cars that you used a balloon of air to shoot. Mine were Freakies cars but it was the same principle.
Revell Animal Models - Sad thing is that these animals are still endangered. 25 years later and no real changes. Sad.
Revell Bug Bomb - Here is a model for a souped up VW Bug. I know it sounds like an oxymoron.
Revell Gemini Spacecraft - Some unlucky parents had a child win this monstrosity. Imagine storing that in your yard. Your insurance rates would skyrocket.

Ricochet Racers - A nice ad with Spider-man and Captain America pushing the toy.
Road Rockets - Cool two page ad for a car target game.

Sgt Rock Toys #2 - Another ad for toy sets based on the man who killed a million enemy soldiers in WWII.

Skittle Pool - This one I do not remember. But doesn't the guy in the ad look like Maxwell Smart.
Smash-Up Derby - This was one of my favorite toys as a youth! Sure you could only get a head-on collision about one out of every hundred times, but when you did, it was memorable!
Snap Tite Model Kits - Some cool construction vehicle models. I think every boy thought bulldozers were cool.
Snoopy Model Kit - Snoopy and his airplane dog house model kit.
Speedy Wheels - A good reason to eat your chex cereal. Toy cars as a prize!
Spinja - A two page ad for a toy I never heard of. Ninja tops, who would ever have thought of that.
Spirograph - I think everyone over 30 has owned one of these cool toys. A very nice ad for a great product!
Spirograph #2 - Another ad for the drawing toy. This one shows how you get Spiromania.

SSP - Cool cars and a pretty neat commercial! Ah, the memories!
SSP #2 - More great SSP cars including the cool Copper Car.
SSP #3 - This ad features the new racers for 1972. I still remember how much fun these were.

SSP #5 - Did you know these cars were wind tunnel tested? Neither did I.
Star Trek Action Figures - This great figures were a favorite of my friend Davey and I. We bought them at Gold Circle and had hours of fun with them. I especially liked the Gorn.
Star Wars Contest-Here was a contest for Star Wars Action figures and such. Don't enter as it was over eons ago.
Star Wars Figures - Before Power of the Force and A New Hope was the original Star Wars Figures. While they came out after I quit playing with toys, my brother Joe had plenty of them. When no one was looking, i would go downstairs and play with them. Hey, we never truly grow up!
Star Wars Figures #2 - An awesome two page ad with a ton of Star Wars action figures, vehicles and playsets.
Stretch Armstrong - Cool figure that would stretch and stretch (hence the name). I knew a person who cut one open to see what was inside. It was not what we expected (then we were kids and figured it was a big wad of bubble gum).
Stunt and Drag Race Set - Combine stunt tracks and drag racing into one set! How cool is that?
Super City Skyport - A cool looking toy from Ideal. Why didn't my parents ever buy me toys like this?
Superman Model Kit - I had an older cousin that had this model. I always thought it was cool to see Superman smashing through a building. I wanted one with him stopping a speeding train.
Super Powers - A nice ad for the DC Heroes action figures. This was a good set with lots of heroes and villains you didn't normally see in an action figure.
Switch n Go Battle Set - These tanks actually look like fun. I am sure if someone saw an adult like myself playing with them, they would be creeped out, but it still looks like fun.
Switch n Go Race Car Set - Just like the tanks, these look like alot of fun. Too bad I never got any as a kid.
Taffy Maker - Another device that I never had a chance to try out. Oh well, I guess that I will have to guess how it tasted.
Tarzan Model Kit - "Me Tarzan, You Build" is the slogan for the ad. Sounds like an order he gave Jane before she hit him in the side of the head with a coconut.
Thrill Set - This just screams out 1970's. A very gaudy ad, but still fun.
Toy Cars - I like the look on the little girl's face. Is she shocked by the amount of cars or is it fear for the mess her brother made.
Toy Circus - Even if they are only about a half inch tall, I bet those clowns were still creepy looking.
Toy Pirates - I think of all the toy soldiers, these look the coolest.
Toy Soldiers Civil War - When you want to redo the Blue versus the Grey battle, here is your collection of miniature toys.
Toy Soldiers Convoy - No, not the truck convoy, but rather one of battleships and aircraft carriers.

Toy Soldiers Task Force - This time you also get teeny tiny planes and ships. These are a little bigger, almost the size of a half of a crayon.
Toy Soldiers Vikings - With real floating long boats and real working catapults, how could you resist?
Trik Trak - Now this looks like a fun racing track! Lots of crazy stuff. Beats the ones they do now with a shark or dinosaur.
Trik Trak #2 - A second ad for the cool looking racing car set.
Tyco Car and Train - Are you a train or slot car fan? I like to combine them together.
Tyco Christmas - A Petticoat Junction train set? Wonder if it comes with the hot girls from the show?

Vac-U-Form - Gotta like a toy that lets you make more toys. Sorta like having your own elves.
Viewmaster - If my mom dressed me like this, I would hide behind a Viewmaster too.
Voltron - Another of the newer toy ads. They even had their own comic and cartoon show.
Warlord - I finally found one of these after years of looking! Now all I need is the Arak figure. Anyone have a spare one?
Wen-Mac Racing - I had an uncle who was into these types of cars and planes (mostly planes). I thought they were cool but were way out of my price range as a kid.
Wham-O - Ad for the various plastic toys from Wham-O including the frisbee and the horribly named, Fluid Fantasy.
Wreckmobile - The predecessor to Smash Up Derby only made of metal instead of plastic.
X-Men Action Figures - An ad for the old Toy Biz figures. Before McFarlane toys, this was the ones to collect.
Zeroids - Mobile robots from the planet Zero. I did not make this up, read the ad and see.
Note: All ads and images are the properties of their respective owners. Tomorrow's Heroes does not own these, we just post them for your enjoyment. Mr Lucas, if you don't cease and desist us, I promise to see all new movies at least 10 times each! Honest!
