I adore these old adverts with the comic book style captions, especially the way they display the toys with a small patches of sand/ground effect at the end of the ad... it's an effect I'd like to be able to recreate, if I ever get the display space I dream of having.

Re: Full Force
I love classic action figure ads, always making the toys look impossibly awesome!

If you are talking about awesome TV ads that make the toys come to life this is the best one. Just how many kids ran into the dining room to try and recreate the concept.

Did you notice how the speeder was able to go under the seat's and the hand did not move from the speeder? Impressive.

Re: Full Force
In general, British toy adverts of that period seem much more exciting to watch then their American counterparts.
Take Kenner's Speeder Bike ad for example:
A piss poor effort that can't hold a candle to Palitoys telly ad.

Re: Full Force
That is exceptionally lame.
We all know Solo never flew a speeder bike in Jedi.
Love the Palitoy speeder bike add, magic arms and all.
