Vintage Toy Commercial Compilation

[@loneshewolf74]

I love these slogans: She's a wonderful doll... she's *IDEAL*! You can tell it's Mattel, it's *swell!* Every boy wants a *REMCO* Toy! ...andsodogirls.

That "real galloping horse" makes me wonder why all rocking horses afterwards didn't have the same ability. It's really cool.

[@Bruh___Moment]

I had a similar toy as a kid, but his legs didn't move. He was on springs, so it felt like a real horse.

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

That Blaze horse - I saw that in a store for $25.00 !!! Way too expensive then, I stood there looking at it, no, even if we were rich I'm sure I would never like it.

[@annettemalaski1967]

I wish I had been born in the early fifties! Then I would tell my mother "The only dolls I wan't are GI Joes!"

[@MrWolfSnack]

I can guarantee you with total certainty that it was too elaborate for its own good and they promptly broke. Too many moving parts and maintenance needed on the toy. The MSRP was also $48.00 in 1961. That is well over $500 in today's money. That's half as much as a TV set of the period. They are very rare today and will set you back at least $250-$400 for a good one. Most survived well and sport little to no rare, as if they were barely played with.

[@christianblade2052]

That toy drive-in theater was kinda cool.

I had so many of the Remco Toys. My oldest sisters boyfriend and later husband worked for Remco in NJ and would get me almost every toy they had! Reb Cannon, Frogman, helicopter , battleship, you name it ! Early mid 60’s great time to be a kid especially a boy! Boys toys were great!!

[@WorgenGrrl]

Remember the days when you can play with toy guns and no one would freak out?

[@tasteegold7772]

dont worry president Trump aka the god emperor is soon to be inaugurated..we will get back to American freedom as it was meant to be.and yes toy guns are and always will be COOL!

At age 6 I had a real .22 !!! I wanted a BB gun but my mother would not have it but allowed me to have the single shot bolt .22 I still have it ! Mom felt I would be more careful with a real rifle She was right my friends got in trouble with there BB guns I never did with the .22 !!

[@onwego1946]

Boy, these bring back memories. Most of the time, though, we didn't have the fancy toys. We had to use our imaginations. Old Christmas trees propped against a picnic table became rocket ships, a clothes pin and playing card strategically placed on a bike frame "motorized" our bikes. A stick became a gun and a colander became a helmet. We had skinned knees and elbows and knew we had to be in the house by the time the street lights came on. Nobody had to protect us. We learned how to protect ourselves. I remember chemistry sets and pogo sticks and any number of "dangerous" toys. Somehow we survived. Thanx for the trip down memory lane.

[@ballasog]

Often the wind howled outside with a cold and lonesome sound. But in the attic Laura and Mary played house with the squashes and the pumpkins, and everything was snug and cosy. Mary was bigger than Laura, and she had a rag doll named Nettie. Laura had only a corncob wrapped in a handkerchief, but it was a good doll. It was named Susan. It wasn't Susan's fault that she was only a corncob. Sometimes Mary let Laura hold Nettie, but she did it only when Susan couldn't see.

[@deviousmrnoahhelmer2769]

I want a mini drive in theater now !

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

I'm sorry, I never saw a commercial for them in the 1960s, but we went to the Torrance Drive-In quite alot in the 1960s, when anybody could get in for 75 cents if you were 12 or younger ( after 12 it was $1.19). I remember we saw "The Time Machine " when it was new ...

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Back when kids could be kids and life was simple and real. Playing outside will always be better than staring at a cell phone.

[@Your_LastSurprise]

Lol get a grip pal

[@mark-xx1lt]

Great memories. I had many of these toys. By age 1 yr., I had my first pair of six shooters and every type of gun made during the sixties. Most of our toys were very interactive and fun. Good times.

[@kurtbjorn]

I did some work with an online inflation calculator. Some toys that were $12.98 in about 1965 would be a HUNDRED BUCKS today. Barbie's outfits "from 80 cents to a dollar twenty five" in 1966 would be $7 to $10 each today. This shit was not cheap. Now I know why my parents wouldn't buy us all this crap.

[@ConstantCompanion]

KurtB they weren't cheap then. I remember probably in 69 or 70 saving up for this Spirograph? At that time it was about $3. It took me 2 months to save up that money.

[@kurtbjorn]

ConstantCompanion Spirograph was a great toy! We had one. But it always hurt when you were 98% done, then slipped with the pen! Frustrating. I wish I still had my spirograph today, as well as my large-sized GI Joe with a foot locker that my Mom threw away.

[@ConstantCompanion]

KurtB Do you have a Cost Plus where you live? They sell the exact same Spirograph (more than 3.00 though) every year at Christmas.

[@justme_66]

KurtB Seems kind of pricy for the 50s and 60s, remember toys were a luxury back then. A loaf of Bread might have been 25 cents, but a toy was special.

[@kurtbjorn]

But it wasn't perfect , nothing ever is but I have some good memories.

[@MiMiJoys-xz8mv]

I loved these toys! I had a Chrissy Doll that her hair that grew and shortened. My cousin had the Dr. Kit and we had the guns all over my block and we had fun from sun up until the street lights came on. Such a shame kids today don't have that much fun! Thanks for the memories!

[@rick_terscale1111]

..nah, Gaylord is always looking for other bones. lol

[@DarthFrodo]

Fred Clarke I don't think Gaylord had the same meaning then as it does now. But is still hilarious.

[@newjerseybt]

There was a game many years ago called "ball buster". According to the announcer, the object of the game was to bust your opponent's balls! You'll see the commercial if you do a YT search. I laughed so hard my sides were aching.

[@footballlvnlady]

I got a rocking horse from Santa in 1964. I wanted to get one for my daughter in the early 80’s. Found one. She wasn’t as excited about it as I was. I had a Barbie doll in the mid 60’s with a carry case. I spoiled my daughter and got her the annual Barbie holiday dolls. She had lots of clothes and an elderly lady made knitted and sewed clothes for her Barbie. I saved all the clothes and packed them in special tissue in a computer box. I got a divorce from my ex and I forgot I had the boxes stored in the attic. When the house was sold my ex threw all the boxes out without my knowledge. I remember many of these toys but not the drive in toy.

I didn't remember Patty Duke and Kurt Russell and Billy Mumy making commercials back then, but on the other hand, I didn't know who any of them were then, we were all just kids!

[@rebeccamunn8673]

Patty Duke is also in the commercial that begins at the 13:23 mark. Both commercials were for remco toys. She played Helen Keller in the Miracle Worker probably just a couple of years later. And, who could forget the Patty Duke show, a few years after that? I enjoyed these old toy commercials, it sure brings back memories. Thanks.

[@jeffreyslott3883]

+Rebecca Munn "Only $12.98 at your favorite toy store !" Only $12.98? That would equal $105.86 today.

[@ToyKingWonder]

+Jeffrey Slott Yes, prices were strange. My guess is that was the list price, and you could get it WAY less in a store, as a manufacturer could not dictate prices. I remember in 1972, which is more than a decade later, the GI Joe Mobile Support Vehicle was $17.95, and that was considered a big present at Christmastime. I doubt very much that actually sold for $12.98. Cost was probably $5 and sold for $7.5 for a 33% margin. Those "beautiful cars" look like they were pressed tin, the whole thing was cardboard with a plastic movie screen. That said, I am a major Remco fan!!!!!

[@justme_66]

Jeffrey Slott Middle-class of the 50s-70s could afford that too.

[@frankkolton1780]

By all accounts, those of us born before the 1960s should be either blind, dead, or permanently scarred, maimed, and disfigured. From the time we were 5 or 6 years old, we played outside with our siblings and friends in the neighborhood unsupervised, there were no such things as bike helmets, or elbow and knee pads for when we roller skated or skate boarded (remember metal wheels?). Many toys shot hard projectiles, heated up red hot, had sharp edges, were painted with lead paint or required the use of real scissors or cutting tools like a knife. The best toys didn't need batteries but required imagination, thought, or reasoning. Despite all the unsupervised outdoor play, often with these "killer toys", we not only survived into adulthood, but we learned responsibility, teamwork, creativity, reasoning, and self sufficiency, the constant physical play and activity kept us physically fit and heathy, with obese children being a rarity. Some things the era did not prepare us for was how to play video games, how to have a belief and attitude of self entitlement, and how to be ignorantly rude on social media.

[@Marr83]

Lol they were way ahead of there time with that slogan whether they knew it or not. The toy that I found most hilarious was that Mystery Date one. It seems kind of like a game for like, drunk adults at a party or something.

[@Loincourt]

+Jhon Siders: I had a Johnny Reb Cannon as a kid (I'm sixty now, btw). I can't quite remember what became of it, but I recently found another one on Ebay. It was in sad shape, but I managed to get it working again. Yee-haw!!!

Perhaps if you weren't so fucking nuts with your guns, people wouldn't feel paranoid about whether it was real or not.

Looking at all the army war toys boys played with-I couldn't help but think in ten years those same boys would be fighting a real war in Vietnam.How innocent we were!

[@brokenrobot2004]

70 toy commercials, Ah, a one of a kind experience to enjoy such happiness and creativity! But wait, What about the children born in 2007? They consider this a pathetic video game, and nothing else. and a drop of the "XD" Emote aswell.

[@kaelandin]

Blaze the horse was close enough to it tho

[@dan-gy4vu]

i need that lie detector game asap.

[@dan-gy4vu]

mattel should really remake it.

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

Yes, we still have it today, somewhere in the attic, and at least 2 edition Concentration games ...

[@dannyfubar3099]

Thank you for the memory tapes.

[@CountWannabe]

My cousin had Barbie Dolls the clothes were made really well and were very pretty, when I bought one for my little niece I noticed the clothes were not as well made and looked pretty shitty by comparison.

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

I had one of those Man In Space sets, great fun.

[@carolsring]

always wanted a Creepy Crawler...Dad said we would get burnt

[@emilyroberts3832]

So what I learned is that as a kid in the 50s you could either play with guns and rocket ships, or dolls, and that was your lot. Cool.

[@purplenurple6278]

these toys look more fun than the ones I had when I was a child

[@francolombardo9290]

I agree with u I luv watching the board games from the 50s and 60s playing board games is my favorite hobbies💞 great comment u made

[@jackkircher1755]

52:48- My cousin had one and I envied him for it. I never gave him a hard time about it, we just had fun and enjoyed it together. This is the one commercial that stands out foremost in my mind. To this day, I am still mesmerized by airplanes.

[@mistertentpole]

These toys sure looked better on TV. Am I right?

[@garyhuffford6085]

u r right ..i had Jimmy Jet...just gotit for Christmas , played with it a couple of times ,,that day ,then it broke...dad said hed fix it but he for got AND I never played with it again . even then that thing was cheep junk!

[@deathstrike]

Could you imagine the cost of a lot of these toys if they built them to the level of reliability of today's electronics? The price would have been unbelievable!

[@francolombardo9290]

yes I luv watching these videos I think ist cool u can see what my uncle played with when he was a kid

[@flakethefox9005]

Sometimes the toys made back then are bettwr than the ones made now!

[@markforrest5599]

I'd like to get one of those Remco "build-it-yourself" transistor radios, although I'd probably put it together wrong and end up receiving alien transmissions or something...

[@tyroneepps4854]

That is funny I like that

[@abilenevespa]

I had the creepy crawler maker, open hot plate, loved it. My sister had a Chatty Cathy, boring.

[@2degucitas]

"My name is Chatty Cathy and I'm going to kill you." LOL I always heard June Foray did both Chatty Cathy and Talky Tina but this is the first time I actually heard it.

28:50 "What, and ruin the commercial?!"

[@CountWannabe]

Would've LOVED to have that Drive-In Toy - Has ANYONE here been to a Drive - In Theatre? (P.S. - That girl looks like a very young Patty Duke)

[@daniellenothmann7534]

I have been to a drive in theatre a few times before! I thought it was cool!

[@katherinefuqua5654]

That WAS Patty Duke.

[@rick_terscale1111]

I think she looks more like Patty Cake or that other girl from the 60's, Patty Stacker. hehehehehhhh :P

[@rdoc]

Sure I've been to the drive-in lots of times back in the 60's. My earliest memory was going in our Station wagon and we would take blankets and pillows and Dad would fold the back seat down so we could lay back there and play or sleep if the movie got slow for the little kids. I saw Old Yeller and so many others. I believe the last show I saw at the drive-in was Grease when I was 17 with my girlfriend. We went to make out but loved the movie so much we watched the whole thing!

[@tappwater9228]

We still have a drive in theatre near where I live

[@leesawford]

'And we'll all feel gay when Jonnie comes marching home'..oh what different times. Most of these toys look like disasters waiting to happen -lots of small parts, 'firing' parts to take ur eye out.I love that 'Boys will love these toys....and girls too' :-).Brilliant insightful upload,thank you!

[@deadliestchic8768]

I would LOVE to own one of the retro Barbie dolls

[@ddivincenzo1]

You and I both. I have my aunt's Barbie and Midge from '62. They have seen better days, LOL!!

[@Saisons1234]

Leo no, but the car wash looks cool

[@kelstar1967]

OMG!!! that Patty Playpal doll is just creepy as hell!!! Those are the kind of dolls they make horror movies out of!

[@rebeccamunn8673]

In the first commercial, the little girl is Patty Duke. Just thought I'd share.

[@1984potionlover]

Wow...that M-16, and the Western rifle from Marx are pretty cool! I love how they advertise that they look like real, and sound like real. Those would have been top selling point... flash forward to Christmas 2016...you won't see this kind of marketing at all. With the way some (not all) police react, you'd be liable to find your child dead... Sorry to go all grim there for a moment. I'm no lover of guns, at least the way that some fanciers love to flail them around, but I've never really seen a problem with kids being kids. I might be wrong, but back when children went outside to play, used their imaginations, and the toys that were props to their imaginary worlds, there wasn't any where near the sort of catastrophic shooting sprees and casual disregard for violence that you see now. Oddly, I wonder if kids playing cops and robbers, soldiers etc.,and got the chance to pretend and get exercise and all that might have been less likely to act out in more anti social ways? They/ we got rid of lots of energy and pretended the most harrowing things, knowing full well that at the end of the day, except for scratches and a bruise or two it was good fun, and that tomorrow imagination would again provide transport to outer space, or the old west, or a jungle, or anywhere that could be thought of. I was a tomboy growing up, and I would have been right in there like a dirty shirt wanting one of these toys too, because they were exciting.(I won't go into the whole "girls toys sucked, and boys had the best toys" rant)...not to mention all the space toys yadda yadda yadda :) I really do feel sorry for a lot of children today. Sure the video games re awesome, and the internet is the world's largest multi media library, social media and all the rest, but sadly for too many children, teens, and adults, it takes the place of real social interaction face to face, and getting off one's duff to go and actually do something physical. There are loads of things in the past I would not want to reoccur, but the freedom to be kids( and not have an adult holding their hands or looking over their shoulder constantly), and run around and pretend to do a million different things and not have some well meaning but totally stuffshirted derp sjw who wouldn't know a joke or fun if they fell over it, or it squirted a water pistol at 'em, or has no idea what makes kids "tick"
