He-Man and Battle Cat “As Seen on TV”
This 1982 newspaper advertisement for Playland Toy Stores brings us He-Man and Battle Cat in a two-pack for just $7.88, complete with an “As Seen on TV” bug on the ad to highlight that these toys are popular enough for television. At least, back in 1982 they were. These days we don’t see much mainstream interest in Masters of the Universe, even if Mattel keeps wishing a movie would really happen and create some demand for the brand as mass retail.
