I wanted one of those Kelly's Car Washes for X-mas 1963 (I was 6). I didn't get it , though. My grandfather gave me a different one. He said the Kelly's ones were sold out. I would've loved one of those helicopters when I was 10. I played with toy soldiers all the time.
Don't you find it amusing that the remco airplane never left the ground; neither did the helicopter. They sat on your rug and went nowhere. And all for only 14.95 or 9.98.Quite expensive for its day.
I was an 80s kid (Transformers, Voltron, Atari, Nintendo, Sega). But I love watching these toy commercials from before my time. They had such great care and production value to them.
It says "jet prop" engines, but should be prop jet: in other words, turboprop. The two dorks with the airliner look like rejects from "McKeever and The Colonel"
I love how they used to advertise the prices of the toys so retailers couldn't jack them up sky high like they do now. Everyone had to sell for the same price and make the same profit.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane of the toys i wanted but i never got especially mr kelly's carwash:(:(:(:(:( HAHAHAHAHAHA But seriously good post. You put a smile on my face:):):):)
I had the helicopter and it was really fun, and yes you did have to use your imagination in those days. As it moved it made a "clack clack" sound just like the real thing.
"Made in China"? Not in those days. They couldn't have given them away if they had been.
Those are five of the goofiest looking kids I have ever seen! The two with the little airplane thing cinch it though! They looked so serious with that silly little thing! LOL!
Great stuff thanks!!!

The Whirlybirds commercial was definitely pre-Vietnam toy-advertising. "SEE things blow up! Create craters and carnage! Dump some napalm!"

Did the douche bags at tvdays.com have to take up the entire right lower corner of the screen with their brand?
