Colorblaster was an airbrush toy. You would pump it and spray paint over stencils to form various pictures. I saw a longer version of this commercial in 1992 and as I recall, took no great notice of it at first. Then, on a nice afternon I'd say in December of that year, I was watching TV after school and it came on again. I loved it! I found the song exhilarating and wanted to see it again. But I never saw the full version air again. Has anyone got it for upload?
Found this online relative to this commercial - ah, the good old days - lol -Hasbro, Inc. agreed to pay a $280,000 civil penalty to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that the company has engaged in deceptive toy advertising in violation of a 1993 consent order. The Hasbro commercial represented that children can operate Hasbro’s “Colorblaster” paint sprayer toy with little effort, but Hasbro used a motorized air compressor during filming to provide necessary pressure to operate it.

Wow! I am seeing this nice ad after, like, almost 15 years of not seeing it. It almost brought tears to my eyes, besides bringing a smile to my face. Whatever happened to the good old days? I wish they'd come back. Thanks a lot for posting this!
