The Most Epic Toy Commercials from the 50s and 60s 🔥📼 Retro Commercials Special

I love these old commercials! I noticed Kurt Russell in one of them.😂

Love it! The best thing is that most of these toys relied on you using your imagination! What a wonderful childhood we had!

Isn’t it amazing how much fun we had in those days and nobody died that I knew…

Although there weren't any wooden toys in the program, I wanted to mention that many toys and games I had as a child in the early 60's, were made of wood, there were cars, trains, tinkertoys, farm and zoo animals, bowling pin games. Most of the Ideal and Mattel toys were too expensive for my working class parents.

Anyone else notice Kurt Russell in the Zero M sonic blaster?😎

I was born in 1961 and I saw most of these toys and had some as well. Wow, kids today will never know the fun of imagination.

I miss those innocent days of enjoying real life.

The Johnny Seven (7 in One Gun) was one badass toy!

There are people, all over the world, that still have these toys. In an attic, basement or mint in the box. So neat to me.

In our new world of freedom, so many of the toys in these ads, and the ads themselves, would be banned. Remember when every kid was assumed to know the difference between a real gun and a toy gun? Gosh, we could draw pictures of guns in our notebooks without teachers assuming we we were a disaster waiting to happen - and, not surprisingly, we actually did know because we weren't detached from reality. But we also knew to look both ways before crossing a street and to not expect cars to stop just because we were in the middle of the road looking at our phones. And, despite all that, we even learned to read and write, learned about slavery and the Civil War, and learned where Canada and Alaska were on a map - all without metal detectors and active shooter drills. The problem never was the toys or the ads. The problem is dumb parents, teachers, administrators.

Mattel and Ideal Toys were magical to me....

I want that galloping horse.

“Now shrunken heads for all occasions” well finally been looking everywhere 🤣

My Barbie dated GI Joe and went off the roof in her Corvette, she was a stunt women. My brother used to get so mad when I took his toys. I also glued his Lincoln Logs into permanent structures. 😂

It was great that kids actually played in groups, used their imaginations, stayed safely out of doors on wide sidewalks, safer streets...hard to believe how things have changed.

I really enjoyed this compilation! I would have loved to see the year they aired noted on each commercial, but I’m not sure it’s possible. Either way, big thanks to you and Ira Gallen for your work in gathering this collection for all of us to enjoy! Very much appreciated!

Times were much better back then. We had more freedom and were a smarter people.

I bet some of these toys are worth a fortune now. I watch American Pickers and it amazes me what old toys are worth.

The young Kurt Russell made a great sniper.

I had some of these and other toy guns back then. Im a veteran and survivor of many neighborhood cowboy and indian shootouts, civil war battles, WW2 encounters with German and Japanese soldiers yet never once did I ever feel the urge to actually shoot someone. I was never lectured by my parents or other adults and authority figures to not actually shoot someone.
