The Lost Precinct Advent Calendar – #21: Zodiac Toys

The place to go-go, back in 1985

The Ad of Christmas Past

Oh the colour, how much colour in this advert? A shame this was done in the pre-digital era, coming off a fuzzy VHS cassette. At first, we see seven children jumping out of jack-in-a-boxes with one letter spelling the name of the toy store. As well as looking like the after-effects of a young S.V. after too many Rainbow Drops, the tableau screams one thing: pester power.
