Yet another treasure uncovered from the mysterious box. Fisher-Price toys defined a large part of my childhood in the ’70s—actually a lot more than I realized, after looking at this ad, dated 1973. Now that I remember, I had over half of the toys seen in this ad. Weird how things can bring back long lost memories, like fetching a lost boat out of a dense pea soup fog.
Fisher-Price’s Adventure Series, released in the mid-late ’70s, were definitely amongst my all-time favorite toys, even to this day. If I could, I’d hunt down all my old Adventure Series toys and give them to my son. Unfortunately, all my original playthings have long since disappeared, save for a handful of them. I wish my parents had preserved my ’70s toys in a big box as they did with my artwork. Man that’d be so awesome.
