Toys R Us 1982 and Merv Griffin Clip (Break Dancing)

I finally got my commercial to DVD. I dont know how to change the cover (it is Amandas Merv Griffin show). Once you hit play my Toys R Us comes on 3 times in a row (my dad caught it in the middle of the commercial). I am at the end holding the jumprope. After my commercial airs 3 times, the Merv Griffn show comes on and that is of a break dancing scene and my sister Amanda modeling (little girl in blue dress). Very fun video to watch, this was right when break dancing became huge in the 80's!

Thanks for the post. My Cousin Kim "Popsicle" Delfin and Oz Rock were in the breakdancing scene. Oz passed last year and Kim passed last week after battling cancer for 11 years.

Some of her credits include, Mountain Dew Commerical 1984, Fame Episode (Breakdance), Body Rock, The Pilot, Rasberry Beret (with Prince), 1984 Grammy's (with Donna Summer), and many others.

Oz also appeared in many movies and videos with Kim.

RIP Oz Rock

RIP Kim "Popsicle" Delfin

The 80s were great and awesome and kids stayed as kids back then. Thanks Sadie for uploading you and Sadie were so great. I wish i grew up in the 80s and was a kid back then but i was a 90s kid.
