I remember wanting that gijoe hovercraft so badly. but I was never succesful in getting junk from my parents.

Is it... It is! Gummy Bears!
Is that a He-Man figure?
I had a Go-Bots!
That's one hell of a viewmaster. Connect Four was probably the only game I could beat my parents at.
Have no clue what that next one is.
The Bernstein Bears had Happy Meals Toys? Did they have Clifford toys as well?
Dude, that Glo-Worm is bigger then me!
Robotech, never had one.
Galmor Doll, never had one.
Is that the pre-concept of Bananas in Pajamas.
My sister had an Upsy Baby.
Remember all that recent hype on the Sci-Fi Channal for Firestarter 2? That movie sucked.
Fluppy Puppies, never had any.
Fun Fruits, never had them.
What is that? An Etch-A-Sketch video game.
Cookie Crisp was the only thing I would eat when I was four. I would refuse to eat anything else.
Come to McDonald's. Eat Bloody Shit.
Care Bears a like cuttier Ewoks. I must eat them all.
Claire!

The View Master looks like it has gone all Cujo. And speaking of Cujo, I haven't read any Stephen King or heard any hype about him since I was a teenager (dismissing that time that he was struck by a van -- he doesn't get credit for accidents). And is that Rudy Cosby pushing Glow Worms?

I had the Mop Top Hair Shop: it was actually pretty fun, especially when dried up play doh crudded up the holes and started making the dolls grow the punkiest punk dos that ever did punk.

I remember liking Ice Cream Cones (despite the stupid Ice Cream Jones mascot) more than Cookie Crisp, but being disappointed that it wasn't more vanilla-y.

Care Bear cousins: interestingly enough, the non-inbred end of the Care Gene Pool. Note the phenotypic expression of individuality beyond their chest icons.

ok... so toxicity in another blog post made me remember this.... maybe you guys will too. it was kinda like the G.U.T.S. guys, and monsters in my pocket. It was called... the garbage bag bunch... or something like that. the gimmick was you didn't know which one you got until you put the trashbag in water, and disolved it... someone has to remember these guys.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 05/19/2003 12:37 PM EST

That viewmaster pic looks like the ill-fated 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' viewmaster set, fine until you get to the pic of the damn open Ark.
Melted a lot of nazi kids though.
Get to see a pretty lady for a few seco...

Chestnuts roasted by Aconite @ 05/19/2003 12:52 PM EST

Are these pictures a preview of forthcoming additions to the commercial downloads section?

I hope so.

Chestnuts roasted by Ubu Rex @ 05/19/2003 01:09 PM EST

I had those trash bag toys. They were nifty, disolving in water in such. I hate that whole toxic thing toy companies went through in the early 90's...so...h'm...i dunno where im going with this-

Chestnuts roasted by kennef @ 05/19/2003 01:21 PM EST

These are old adverts aren't they? I'm sure as hell Cookie Crisp has only recently come to the shops in the UK. Is it the same thing? I'll give you a clue... It just tastes like the kind of healthy cereal crap my mum eats, but it is disguised by FAKE choc chips, that you cannot taste at all!!! Oh, and advertised by some really annoying cartoon wolf that howls when he says coooookie. Hilarious. Or not.

Chestnuts roasted by Nina @ 05/19/2003 01:23 PM EST

Okay, maybe it's just be but the thing in the 11th pic that looks like an anthropomorphic bananna kind of reminds me of Peter Griffin from Family Guy.

Chestnuts roasted by Rick @ 05/19/2003 02:19 PM EST

I auctually had some of those Bearenstein Bear toys from McDonalds.

Chestnuts roasted by Josh @ 05/19/2003 02:36 PM EST

Random coincidence...at lunch today, one of my friends (female, thankfully) had a Care Bears sticker/coloring book. They're back from the dead, apparently.

Chestnuts roasted by Paul @ 05/19/2003 02:47 PM EST

I still have some of those McDonalds Bearenstein Bear things. What should I do with them!?!

Chestnuts roasted by Diana @ 05/19/2003 02:52 PM EST

I actually had those horrible Bearenstein Bears books. I mean come ON!! When I was that age, I didn't know what the hell the word "Snappy" meant...

I also thought that white people only existed on TV...

Is that a Frosta action figure? I just recently found my old She-Ra figure. Apparently I gave her a hair cut so now she looks like a skinny pale Don King. Woe is me...

Chestnuts roasted by Otaku Queen @ 05/19/2003 03:35 PM EST

For Mr. Mr. Mr. the sixth pic that you stated you did "Have no clue what that next one is" is, of course, Voltron. I remember back in 1985, I was told that I was getting one for Christmas and after 18 years I'm still waiting for it. That is one thing I hate about getting older, you finally have the money to buy all the toys you wanted when you were younger, but you're looked at like a freak from family and friends if you display any of the toys around the house. I guess you call this 'guilty pleasure'.

Chestnuts roasted by Liquidduck @ 05/19/2003 03:43 PM EST

I can remember the Voltron cartoon when the blue member was "seriously" injured in battle, I cried. Voltron's star faded too soon, when the princess became the pink lion, that was that.

Chestnuts roasted by DaDaDandy @ 05/19/2003 04:42 PM EST

Diana, Bin 'em. They are probably worth about 3p.

Chestnuts roasted by Nina @ 05/19/2003 04:57 PM EST

What is that purple seal at the bottom, it kinda looks like a my little pony spin off or something.
Oh and the anthropomorphic bananna is really an anthropomorphic fruit pie. He helps kids out with his magic powers and fatty snacks. He's David Blane meets Dave Thomas.

Chestnuts roasted by CalmingEffect @ 05/19/2003 05:00 PM EST

Heh, I actually remember about 80% of the commercials for those toys, and I actually owned that G.I. Joe hovercraft/boat, as well as Voltron, and even a couple of GoBots, although I wasn't too fond of GoBots, cause they seemed to me like a cheap ass Transformers rip-off. One question, what is that really cool lookin' etch-a-sketch thingy called? If I remember correctly, a kid could use that thing to create different frames, or pictures, then put them together into an animated sequence. That's one of the toys that I wanted as a youngster, but sadly, never had the joy of owning....:-P

Ah! I'd forgotten about that bit. Probably better that I don't have my grubby paws on one now; I'd spend all of my free time animating x-rated etch-a-sketch doodles.

Chestnuts roasted by Molten @ 05/19/2003 06:21 PM EST

Ha Ha Ha. I remember most of that stuff, even the Sweet Sea doll oddly enough. Oh, life in the 80's.. wasn't it great?

Chestnuts roasted by JerM @ 05/19/2003 06:29 PM EST

Hey, I had that Go-Bot. He isn't that tall, though. Yay, Voltron cameo! Voltorn could kick the bejezus out of any Megazord. So there!

Chestnuts roasted by Bansheex @ 05/19/2003 06:44 PM EST

The happy little guy on the bottom is a "Snugglebum." No, really, thats what they're called.

Chestnuts roasted by RolfesAngel @ 05/19/2003 07:01 PM EST

Voltron, oh baby...Voltron assembled was big enough that you didn't just play with him, you hung out with him. Getting him was a real project too; save up for a yellow lion here, recieve a red lion there, beg for a pilot inbetween, and get promised the black lion for birthday/christmas.

Chestnuts roasted by Krappy Kat @ 05/19/2003 07:35 PM EST

I would love to see a commercial pic and/or review about Magic Nursery Babies. Kind of a cabbage patch rip-off, I suppose, but with an added twist. You didn't know if you bought a boy or girl until you dumped the baby's hat into water and it would dissolve into the birth certificate (like the trash-bin whatchacallit's mentioned above.)
Of all the toys I spent my childhood pining for, Magic Nursery Babies were numero uno.

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 05/19/2003 07:47 PM EST

That blue/purple fuzzy-backed thing is CREEPY! But the CB Cousins... oh, I used to love everything Care Bear and the cousins were my favorite! Best of all was the purple penguin with a heart wearing a Santa hat on his stomach... wha was he called?

Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 05/19/2003 08:14 PM EST

The Trash Bag Bunch was such a cool toy they were so cool you dumped the trash bag in water and once it disolved there was a toy. HOW COOL IS THAT? I Wish I could find some just to do that again. I had about six of em still do.

Here's a site that has pics of the good guys the Disposers and the bag guys the Trashers.

We need X-E to show the Toilet Duck commercials they were the bet thing ever. Especially when Toilet Duck went "Quack, Quack" as he nucked the scum with his tank or plane. I'df kill to see those commercials again!

Chestnuts roasted by Toilet Duck Fan @ 05/19/2003 09:48 PM EST

Oh man, I had that Voltron thing and a couple of those Robotech figures and that G.I. Joe hovercraft thing. The only commercial I remember directly from there is that McDonald's one though. Not the happy mean one but the other one. What happened to all those other characters they used to have on those commercials? Birdy, the Fry Guys, that professor whats-his-face-type-guy in the picture, and the rest.. They must have killed them off or something.. I miss them..

Chestnuts roasted by Toxicity- @ 05/19/2003 09:54 PM EST

er.. Happy Meal... not mean

Chestnuts roasted by Toxicity- @ 05/19/2003 09:55 PM EST

In the Glow baby ad (of which my dad bought me one, even though I thought I was too old for it), is that Keisha Knight-Pullian (pardon my slaughtering her name) (the youngest Cosby kid).
Also, Matt, I'd love to see something about Trapper Keepers back in the day...some friends and I were discussing them and one had no clue about them, and we were unable to find ANYTHING about old school 80s Trapper Keepers, and you have an uncanny ability to dig up anything and everything.

Chestnuts roasted by Raechel @ 05/20/2003 01:59 AM EST

maaan i remember that animator thing (#16) if it's the same thing i remember.

a couple of kids in school had one i always wanted one but they were like $100 or somethin, way out of my league and i guess i didn't want to waste a x-mas on it.

i remember it bein called 'the animator' but i'm sure it had a more original name.

Chestnuts roasted by photocdclub.com @ 05/20/2003 03:15 AM EST

Oh yeah The Echa-Scketch Animator, I had one. YOu could save up to 8 frames I think it was, pretty cool little toy

Chestnuts roasted by Jazz_Guy @ 05/20/2003 05:40 AM EST

Matt, upload that Snugglebumms commercial please!

Chestnuts roasted by Storm @ 05/20/2003 08:41 AM EST

i like the sunkist fun fruits picture

Chestnuts roasted by jeremysimsports @ 05/20/2003 10:09 AM EST

i like to upload all the commercials please

Chestnuts roasted by jeremysimsports @ 05/20/2003 10:22 AM EST

i am proud to say that i am still an owner of the etch-a-sketch animator. unfortunately i could never actually make anything that looked remotely interesting.

Chestnuts roasted by matt @ 05/20/2003 10:34 AM EST

Oh. My. God. Where in the blue hell do you find this stuff? Jebus, all I need now is for that Nerds cereal to pop up.

And Firestarter, I remember when that movie was filmed. Back home in Wilmington, NC. *sniff* Good times.

Chestnuts roasted by Tron @ 05/20/2003 11:12 AM EST

Tron, I've actually done a full article on Nerds Cereal. :) Search for 'nerds' on the front page of X-E.

As for encoding these, in due time. Right now the commercials page is a bit of a mess, and the hosting charges associated with it are pretty high. Trying to think of a good way to put up more without spending hundreds extra a month.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 05/20/2003 11:16 AM EST

I AM THE PICKLE FACED MAN OH MY GOD I CANT SEE MY EYES IS THAT YOU JOHNNY I CANT FIND MY FACE I AM KNOWN AS THE HUMAN EGGPLANT

Chestnuts roasted by THE PICKLE FACED MAN @ 05/20/2003 12:08 PM EST

Small suggestion Matt, so take it or leave it, why dont you delete some of the older ones off the server ad then replace them?

Chestnuts roasted by CalmingEffect @ 05/20/2003 02:31 PM EST

crap, I can't beleive another of Matt's creations has pushed me to geek out like this, but ... that is a picture of the Cobra swamp boat, the Water Moccasin and trusty pilot, Copperhead, and not the G.I. Joe Killer WHALE hovercraft. Its the little boat you got when your parents refused to pay fifty dollars for the big one. Both were cool, but its was the hovercraft that I remember most kids would trade a pinky for. It was the biggest G.I. Joe vehicle there was, until the Air Craft Carrier came out the next year. And NO BODY got that one, digital sacrifice or no, except one kid that lived to far for your folks to drive you to on a regular basis, and he was kind of a dick any way.

Also could you fix the link for the Gravedale High opening I'd like to see it.

Chestnuts roasted by Toilet Duck Fan @ 05/20/2003 05:20 PM EST

I was kind of wondering when someone would notice about the Water Moccasin, too. It wasn't the Aircraft Carrier, but it was a few bucks well spent anyway
God that thing was huge; would it not make a totally bitchin' coffee table?

Chestnuts roasted by Krappy Kat @ 05/20/2003 07:37 PM EST

Is it just me, or does that glo-worm look like it could eat keshia knight pulliam? That's the biggest freaking glo-worm I have ever seen! Yeah, that's the name of that G.I. Joe boat, the water moccasin! Very cool toy! I'm just wondering if and when Matt will put some stuff up about those kick ass M.A.S.K. toys, anyone remember those? Heh, I remember watching that cartoon show when I was a kid, along with G.I. Joe, and the Transformers, and Voltron! Man, those were the days!

Chestnuts roasted by GraphArtist @ 05/20/2003 08:32 PM EST

Wild! Keep doing these! :)

Chestnuts roasted by Morbius @ 05/21/2003 02:25 AM EST

Awesome, those pictures make me sad though, I kinda liked living back there in the eighties. Course I never got the new toys though..always had to settle for second rate.

Great job though!

Chestnuts roasted by MaNiAC MeDiC @ 05/21/2003 05:45 AM EST

My Voltron watches over me on the top shelf of my dorm room desk.

That toy weighs close to 5 pounds... I used to threaten my older sister with it when she pissed me off.

"I'm telling Mom!"

"If you tell Mom, I'm gonna throw Voltron at you."

"Oh...um...nevermind."

Defender of the Universe indeed.

Chestnuts roasted by Toxic Oreo @ 05/21/2003 11:48 AM EST

That isn't a picture from Firestarter, that's a snapshot after Drew realized somebody ran off with her coke...

And the kid in the Cookie Crisp commercial looks like he's opened a cereal bowl-version of Pandora's Box (or a gateway to Hell).

Peanut Butter Boppers? I think somebody's got a X-rated website about just that sort of thing...

Chestnuts roasted by XP Ranger @ 05/21/2003 05:41 PM EST

The penguin Care Bear cousin was named Cozy Heart...the rest were Brave Heart Lion, Bright Heart Raccoon, Gentle Heart Lamb, Lotsa Heart Elephant, Loyal Heart Dog, Playful Heart Monkey, Proud Heart Cat, Swift Heart Rabbit, Treat Heart Pig and Noble Heart Horse. That information and more can be found here:

I've never typed the word "heart" so much in my life.

Chestnuts roasted by Teddy Ray @ 05/21/2003 08:01 PM EST

I wanted a gummi bear beacuse I thought they were a paw paw plush. That connect four pic i remember I also have that commerical on tape. I always thought it was stupid. "for kids, for fun, forteismo!, connect four!" Even the slogan was! I have 2 bearstein bears toys the Papa bear and brother. The pie magican I remember him he's on a hostess frisbee I have. I took fun fruits to kindergarden. The fuzzy pumper barber shop isn't that old my little cousin has one. I think he got it in the late 90's. Whatever happened to the cookie crisp robber and the cop? Care Bear cousins I wanted one and I got a bear and I kept saying it was a cousin and my aunt got mad. I was 2 at the time. Her friend's son had one the racoon. Snuggle bums! I have mine a green one. Nobody remembers those.

Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 05/22/2003 01:09 AM EST

Gummi Bears!

They're, like, bouncing here, and there, and everywhere. Having high adventures (always wondered what made that Gummi Berry Juice so potent) that are beyond compare.

They are the Gummi Bears.

God, I was such a whore for the Disney Saturday Morning. Gummi Bears, Winnie The Pooh... loved it. And then came the incarnation of The Disney Afternoon, which was hella cool up until the Goof Troop/Marsupalami era, at least in my point of view.

Yay! Go Gummi Bears!

Chestnuts roasted by PattyOGreen @ 05/23/2003 05:58 AM EST

Umm...did anyone else catch the redundantcy of a "snack with a snack in the middle"? Sounds like Reagan....

Hey, I remember Robotech...grew up with it as one of the first anime shows I ever watched...not counting some of the Classic Nickelodeon kiddie shows. Damn, I remember that one of the pilots (the one with the blue hair and glasses...name escapes me) was voiced by someone who was working on Ducktales. Can anyone help me out with that?? This Otaku would appreciate it immensely.

Oh BTW, for anyone who still has their Voltron figures or the like--don't sell them or let family members chuck 'im--those things fetch for a pretty hefty sum in the right places. Transformers too. My mom chucked my Voltron figs and just recently, I found out that those things were worth a pretty penny...demon woman, wrecking my life.....gwar.....

Chestnuts roasted by Dio--L33tsp33k Apprentice @ 05/24/2003 04:22 PM EST

I paid $90 for my lion-figure Voltron complete, but it's broke now due to much use of playtime. I doubt it'll fetch a pretty penny now with its duct-tape repairs.

Cheap plastic parts. :P

Chestnuts roasted by Go Knock Jimmy Down @ 05/24/2003 09:16 PM EST

Here's a bit of nostalgia for ya'll: how many of u remember the vehicle version of Voltron? It came out a little before the lion version did, and each one of the vehicles could form into their own unique attack crafts, as well as form into Voltron. I wonder if that toy is anywhere to be found, cause I know that it was made into a toy at some point! Yeah, I loved watching Robotech as well, that cartoon was the bomb!

Chestnuts roasted by GraphArtist @ 05/26/2003 07:07 PM EST

Dude, I had one of the animated etch-a-sketchs. It was my favorite toy as a kid. I can still rember the sound it made when you turned it on, maybe cause it scared the crap out of me one night when it turned on by itself. It was ahead of it's time, the knobs where run by light sensitive diodes if i recall correctly.

Chestnuts roasted by NoGoodNicsLeft @ 10/20/2003 03:26 PM EST
