Man, those StarCom toys look cool AF!
How did i miss those back in the day.🤔😂
I am entirely drowning in nostalgia in this compilation. Adult me is mostly thinking, “Jeebus, look at all of that plastic crap”, but inner child me is thinking, “ooooh oooh ooooh, want that, want that” 😂😁 It’s like childhood Saturday mornings all over again. Cheers, Steve.
You're very welcome. 🙂
Dino-Riders!
I had them all.
Man, it was the best Christmas ever, waking up to all of them under the tree.
Not sure how my folks afforded them that year as i think that's when my dad was made redundant from the foundry he was working at.
I still have most of them.
Well, my little sister does. I gave them to her in the 90s as she loved dinosaurs too.
She was only talking to me about them earlier in the year when i had to go up north for my dad's funeral. She said they were in my mum's attic.
I might take them back.😂
I remember having Action Man and a few of the accessories. The Gyrocopter was awesome.
I never knew that Melanie's _Brand New Key_ (often known as The Rollerskate Song) even existed until I saw Boogie Nights in 1997. I suspect I'm not alone in this country in seeing this advert - 2:17 - but only being able to think about combine harvesters instead of what it's promoting 😁😆
I was literally about to start typing that .. The Wurzels .. the Combine Harvester song!
The Roller-skating Song had a very different connotation in the US.
A video equivalent of the Argos catalogue winter 1987. Love it.
Pretty much ... want, want, got, etc..
Can't go wrong with G.I. Joe(Action Force), Transformers, Legos, Playmobil and Texas Instruments brand electronics. Super fun video Steve
Nice video. The doll with the moving tongue was a bit disturbing. Don't remember that but I would have been 22 back then.. Cheers!
What face does it pull when it's messing it's nappy haha
🤣🤣
Creepy little bugger, that. Those faces the kids were pulling in a couple of the dolly adverts were nightmare fuel too.
Need a time machine. Everything is tites up now
My time was during the 70's and early 80's, I had my Professionals CI5 kit, with a real spy camera about the size of a normal camera! 😂 Great collection though, thanks Steve.👍🏻😊
I always wanted a Tomy pinball never got one! I loved my fisher price skates
I remember the advert for "Go For Broke" . An essential training game for any budding politician or councilor.
@@mattw8332 🤣
Ironically, that game would have been redundant in the US.
Another great video, as always. It's important to keep a record of the past because it's alarming how "white" all these adverts are in the UK back catalogue. Only now can I appreciate how kids who didn't fit this narrative must have felt in a country not including them. And a big thumbs up to Fisher Price for being the only advert including a child of colour. 👍🏻👍🏽👍🏿
And I think the Fisher Price advert is originally from the US, so it makes the UK side look even worse. I see regular comments on these videos (that Steve removes) lamenting the lack of white faces now, which is nonsense. I'm glad things now are more accurate and inclusive. Just a pity most modern ads are such trash 😜
U.K. was a mostly white country when these adverts were filmed. It’s just the way the country was formed. Same as countries like Kenya, Uganda are mostly black countries. These ads aren’t meant to offend anybody, just appeal to the majority (at that time).
@@nickgodfrey1148 Of course it was, and it still is: population of European country is mostly European is hardly shocking info. And I'm not suggesting any offence was necessarily meant, but it is notable that many older adverts featured _only_ white faces, and other peoples, particularly Asians, are often notable by their absence across large swathes of media, despite being a small but noticeable part of the population.
I'm just here to enjoy some old adverts, but it's worth noting while doing so that some things could have been better.
@@El-Ritmo I disagree. The adverts featured mostly white British people because the country was mostly white British back then. Thats who you appeal to, the majority not the minority. As the demographic changes over time, you change with it. Times were simpler (and happier) back then.
Adverts of the time reflect mainstream attitudes of the time. As El-Ritmo pointed out back there, people occasionally comment with racially and socially intolerant comments, and I have zero tolerance for it. This is detailed in the disclaimer on the about section for this channel, accessible from the Home tab of the channel page.
Love your channel glad to see more for us little girls of the past.
"Definitely Dinosaurs"? You're taking the piss, thats like calling a toyline "Dinosaurs...honest!"
Catchy, though. 🤣🤣
I loved growing up as a kid in the 70's and early 80's, it was great, BUT...........looking back at these ads makes me realise we didn't half put up with a load of cheap crap.
However, as an addendum I will make an exception fro Lego - you could anything with it.
Lego is timeless.
The UK Magna doodle commercial is so different from the US version. The US one used the tune of an old patriotic song and older kids. The Petite typewriter one is cute. I wonder if British kids understood where it came from then. I doubt American kids would have if it had been sold in the US. I've never seen the Speak and Music before. I wonder if the Safely Home game sold very well. A game about safety wouldn't work in the US, I think.
The Speak & Music and Safety Games are two I certainly don't remember.
Only one Transformers one? My entire collection room is weeping! (To be fair, G1 Piranhacon is a great looking combiner, I love mine!)
Growing up female in the 80's, but loving "boys" toys leaves me with a low-level rage at the gender specificity of toys to this day. Seeing those creepy dolls brings back all kinds of nightmares from my childhood! Hated them then, hate them now.
Creepy is the word! Gave me shudders when I was editing those. Believe it or not, Transformers kinda bypassed me, as did He-Man toys. Action Man dolls were a thing for me though, and yes they are dolls, no-matter how you dress it up. 🤭
Crazy how many weapons are marketed to children.
You should see US commercials.
I still have my original Atomic Pinball :)
I always thought those looked really good but never got round to getting one.
@@RetroSteveUK they're fun for the price. I need to 3d print new back legs for mine as those were lost over 30 years ago lol
@@005AGIMA I think as I was into video games from a young age, I ended up getting my pinball fix from virtual pinball games on my home computer. Still do, to be fair. I can recommend "Zaccaria Pinball" (on Steam). It's a great collection of ultra-realistic tables with VR options too.
Still got my tyco
