30 seconds of pure WANT - Classic 80s Toys Ads.
Remember the days before iPads and Playstations where you had to use your imagination a little or play the game with an actual person in the same room?? No nor me, but apparently they are now retro games and toys!! Whether it was the family favourite board game or your favourite sylvanian family it now seems far more friendly and sociable than shouting at a french 15 year old whose just crushed your kill ratio on Call of Duty. Get ready to hop back to the 1980s, because weâre revisiting some of the best 80s toy commercials. They may have only lasted an average of 30 seconds (Hard to believe, right?) and been packed with loads of imagery, a jingle and the usual fast-talking small print but they live on for years conjuring great memories of enthusiastically writing Christmas lists mid September! So get ready for a trip down memory lane as I show you my favourite toy commercials of the 1980s! So sit back, relax and get ready to remember what playtime was like before technology took over.
Teddy Ruxpin the storytelling bear was one of the most popular 1980s toys. Today, a toy like this would be able to recognize what kids said to him and respond and be completely programmed on some sort of chip. Back in the day, Teddy Ruxpin worked with a cassette tape but we all still thought he was the coolest thing in the world. Can you imagine a toy running on a cassette tape today?
Get ALL OVER Our Amazing New Exclusive Mr Gugu & Miss Go Range!
We LOVE how the fab prints on a Mr Gugu & Miss Go tee go all around, up and down and around about, basically covering the whole garment from top to toe (or neck to hem). This makes them super special, splendiferous creations which really make a statement and stand out from a regular, run of the mill tee (not that you will find any of those on our site, thank you, no siree Bob).
And what's more the designers here at Truffle Towers and Mr Gugu & Miss Go have been collaborating, resulting in our very own range of EXCLUSIVE tees, sweaters and gorgeous dresses. So do not tarry and get yourself on down to our home TruffleShuffle.com to sample some of these delicious delights!
