I’d love to watch a ‘Making Of’ documentary of the photo shoots of these Argos catalogues. where they would lay out all the toys into a kind of battle scene. Some of the dioramas were pretty cool too for things like Masters of the Universe or M.A.S.K. I’m thinking he probably didn’t and that’s why he doesn’t look particularly happy. Who got to take them home after the shoot was over? For example I wonder if this kid in the photo on the right got to keep the Bigfoot toy. I do often wonder what happened to the products that were used for the photo shoots. I’m still looking for PDFs or physical copies of three catalogues from the 80s and once I have some of them I can start looking at properties such as Masters of the Universe and seeing how the selection changed each year and which properties came in to get more page real estate in the catalogue. I also like looking at how the selection of a particular property changes over the years. Some of the photos that have real life models in them are pretty ‘interesting’ in terms of haircuts and fashion too of course! And it’s great to see what the level of technology was in each year from the pages that have the media formats such as blank VHS tapes or floppy disks etc. It really is a window into the past.My favourite sections were the digital watches, action figures and electronic games but there is so much good stuff in them.
