JCC The Everything Retro Thread

Barbapapa is brilliant. A pink blob that can turn into anything--his wife is black, and one of his sons is furry. You can't top it. If I ever manage to think up something even half as great as that, I can die a happy man.

Toy art from the 80's was Awesome.

However the commercials were just as Awesome. Espeically He-Man

Amazing.
