I remember these dolls back in the day. These guys were not really cool then just like they not really cool now, but I loved this commercial. And the dolls look totally awesome now. The song has always stuck with me even after 30 yrs lol.
this is what was wROng! with KISS! they became a little kid band after 1975! and simmons the below par musician did NOT! come up with merchandising it was bill aucoin! their manager!
you like Paul, PEOPLE???!!!! come and see my tribute to the ULTIMATE FRONTMAN... right here on YouTube... just type in "Pal Stanley's Rock Show" and look for 1 of 4 episodes which is my tribute to the master himself. You can "friend" me on Facebook too, PEOPLE. Just look up "Pal Stanley" and I'll see you all out there! I CAN'T HEE YAH, PEOPLE!!!!!!
@ghostdancer2302 ACTION FIGURES!! My friend, NOT DOLLS. We must protect the empire and respect the credo by which we live. "THEY ARE NOT DOLLS, THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES" [LOL] Just picking with ya a little. I plan to add them to my collection as well. I already own Ace's figure.
i need to find another peter criss. the gene, paul and ace i have is in great shape. only peter criss i could find was in real bad shape. need a better one
had them all when i was a kid and have no idea what happened to them when i moved out of my family home at 17, probably went to the dump for all i know
I still have all 4 dolls to this day. They did come with guitars and drums. You cut them out of the backside of the box. Try to find one still in the box.
Girls probably wanted the "girl" with the kitty whiskers and black hair.
Couldn't they have included some guitars and drums? I'm sure not everyone knew who KISS was...especially kids. This is one of the top ten commercials that made me gay.
A bet one boy back in the 70s probably got one of dolls and had it hump her little sister's barbie dolls, In "ANY CRAZY POSE YOU WANT" just like the Band Kiss, now with groupies interaction
Holy fuck! I don't even know where to start with this commercial! Maybe the theme song? Maybe Paul's "crazy" pose? Maybe the three girls playing with KISS dolls? Hilarious!
I saw four kids but I thought three of them were girls! Maybe the kid closest to the camera is a boy. Anyway, I can't really see this toy appealing to girls so much back then.
i have all 4, Ace is still in the box, but Peter is not in very good shape his costume is torn, i have had them all since 1993, took me 3 years to find and collect all 4, that was before the days of ebay lol, but today they go for big bucks
My mom would never let me own these. She thought KISS was evil....I think she was the evil one! Hard to believe these guys were once considered hard rock!
LOL...no,not formyself.I just meant I was wondering if any of the die hard fans out there owned any.But actually..I did once have Stanley about 20 years ago.But only because my cousin gave it to me.
haha.... that jingle.... omgomgomg.... that's like sooooo different from kiss... they shouldve been playing shock me, but instead of shock it's buy me...
Man i love Ace still to this day. he made kiss awesome. i still have my Ace doll he's missing his right foot and arm bands but i still have him. it was so damn fun playing with the toys from the 70's 80's and being a kid back then. today's times suck including the toys.
Great copy...Im a HUGE KISS FAN and I still have my dolls...But a little trivia...does anyone know who the paul stanley doll head was REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE??? It was extra heads they had for the captain and tennille dolls...They took the captains head and painted pauls face on it...WEIRD HUH?...But if you look at it you will see the resemblance...Anyway great video...
I grew up in the 70's and remember quite well when the DOLLS came out they were targeted towards GIRLS!!! This is the second commercial for the first only showed girls and TOYS R US had them in the girl section. I remember quite well for my father refused to buy me a Ace doll in the girls aisle of toys :( Later that year I got my Ace for they put them in the boys section :)
I remember seeing this ad when it originally aired (as a first grader)! Never owned any of the dolls, but at least I had a Bee Gees lunchbox (and thermos)! LOL
Too funny!
