Weekly Theme: 80's Toy Gimmicks

Holograms
Visionaries and Super Naturals
Visionaries commercial / Super Naturals commercial

 

I never actually owned any of these toys, but I have vivid memories of seeing them in the toy stores and at friends' homes. I always wanted some, yet never got around to getting any. Holograms were the cool new thing in the 80's and these two toy-lines had some of the largest holograms. In the case of the Super Naturals, the holograms covered almost the entire toy. The commercials are typical 80's boy toy commercials. VERY EXCITING! I also think the names of all the characters are hilarious. I still think holograms are pretty nifty, and I think more toys should integrate them into their design again.
