Kenbrite GI Joe Adventure Team Commercial

Check out this super cool GI Joe Australian TV spot from the early 1970's, before colour TV was common in Australia!

The vintage 12 Inch GI Joes were distributed in Australia by Kenbrite, later famed for the Australian release of Playmobil, known here as Pocket People. Interestingly the old store stock Joes I've been lucky enough to uncover over the years were more likely to be of Canadian origin than USA, us Commonwealth nations have to stick together you see. 

Meanwhile Toltoys were distributing Action Man alongside Joe on the toy shops of the 70's, confusing the hell out of collectors today trying to sort though vintage part lots containing both! 

Cheers,

Ewok Adventure Kelloggs Tie-In

Hot on the heels of the TV spot for the Kelloggs Return of the Jedi competition I posted last week comes another lost Aussie Star Wars TV spot; an ad for the Kelloggs promotional tie-in with the Ewok Adventure movie in the mid 80's.



Enjoy!

How cool is this? Thanks to the keen eyes of Nick Macarty over at Rebelscum.com I'm able to bring you the Kellogg's TV spot from the 1980's promotional tie-in with the Return of the Jedi.



Wonderful!
