Vintage Toy Commercials

1960's commercials for the Deluxe line of toys: Playmobile, Jimmy Jet, Beauty Parlour, and Mighty Moe Cannon

[@makmelaf]

I had a playmobile. Good times. Responsible for my love of driving.

[@wesmcgee1648]

I wanted a Jimmy Jet, similar to that play mobile. They cost 18 dollars so mom said it was too much. Imagine how many groceries 18 bucks would buy in 1963.

[@michaellane7488]

Thank you so much Mary Jo for adding these videos. We have a couple but have not seen the Playmobile. Love these Deluxe Reading toys. Use to see them sitting on top of the deep freezers in the grocery stores back in the day. Owned a few of these toys as well. Great memories. Thanks again.

[@michaelhewitt258]

I'm old enough to remember those toys When they came out

[@tonyallen6510]

Me to👍

[@robertromero8692]

This really brings back memories of that Mighty Mo jingle!

[@Juliaflo]

I remember that jingle. Don't figure out my age, but Merry Christmas.

[@larrystevenson3267]

I had Mighty Mo, so much fun, these videos bring back so many, many memories

[@schallrd1]

Toys were better in those days. I was there.

[@Juliaflo]

I was there, too, but don't figure out my age. LOLOLOLOL. Happy New Year.

[@spudwas]

I had the Mighty Mo", it worked better when you dropped some flour down the barrel before loading the black plastic ball. Boom! It looked like real smoke. Thanks big brother for showing me that.

[@IndyDog-ns8ws]

I grew up in Roseville MI, back in the 50's/60's. I saw those toys up above the produce aisle in the local Chatham store. I always wanted the Mighty Mo or Fighting Lady ship, but no go from mom.

[@bertholini2810]

Same here. We had really neat toys at the grocery store, but NO, mom would not have any of it. We ended up with those terrible robots that would fight, they lasted about 4 hours and we went to the park. We got our fighting robots from the kids next door, they didn't like them either.

[@craigdoriety9798]

Same thing at the A&P in Bessemer AL where my parents shopped. I got this big battleship called Battle wagon B-400 made by Reading toy co.when I was 6. My brother got a large motorized tank but can't remember the name of it.

[@az_exit1279]

I had a Remco car dashboard, and a Remco Movieland drive-in theater. My favorite toys.

[@ScarlettFire341]

wow - long ago memories !

[@rumpestillskin4671]

I remember the Deluxe Playmobile, My Dad went down to Massachusetts to buy me one for Christmas. My Mom asked him why he went way down there and he said, I saved two dollars because they don't come equipped with Directional Signals there because nobody there uses them anyway.

[@parkercowan8648]

I bet you the playmobile was the best toy for driving instructors to use on students

[@LegitMan335]

I want Play Mobile and Mighty Mo

[@chriswright2250]

Playmobile got me into automobiles!!😅

[@malgremor85]

Does that playmobile have a cigarette lighter?

[@Somerealtomfoolery22112]

Most flicking likely

[@zurizamgames4350]

Ngl old toys is so kinda realistic

[@timpriddy349]

Look at all that chrome......2020 (grey plastic excitement)

[@schallrd1]

You would get tired of playing with you this before too long.

[@TemperTemper...]

I had Jimmy Jet and it did not give you the thrill of flying..Jumping off the roof of the house did...

[@robotrix]

Ah.....you were one of THOSE kids ;-)

[@tonyallen6510]

😂😂😂😂😂😂👍

[@Jhihmoac]

I know the Ideal later used the _"Mighty Mo"_ name for a line of large, medium, and small sized tough, friction flywheel motorized vehicles in the mid 70s...

[@jamesforbes4996]

Each of these were only sold at food markets? Really? I would understand that today (looking at you WalMart), but back in the early '60s? The toy area in the supermarkets we visited back in the day never had toys like this.

[@craigdoriety9798]

They were sold at the A&P where we shopped but only during Christmas season. They had them displayed around the store on top of shelves.

[@diddymuck]

sold at food markets only....HOW COME?

[@Jhihmoac]

I'm not sure... Possibly, these particular manufacturers weren't "big name toy company" enough to be sold at toy stores... Toy companies often held large shares or stakes in some of the toy retail chains of the day, and therefore could dictate somewhat which company's wares got sold at that chain...

[@jamesschenk]

These are real toys not none of these wimpy woke toys they make today im glad i grew up in the 60s and 70s when kids could be kids not sissies

02:34 If they really wanted to sell realistic war toys they should have sold a Vietnamese women and children doll set inspired by the My Lai Massacre
