Another fun Space: 1999 post.
ReplyDeleteYour continuing tie-in uploads made me realize something I never noticed before: Marketing for Space focused almost exclusively on young people. When I collected material from my favourite show (guess) the item was almost always a book, magazine, or model kit (which would fall into the "adult" category, as well). While there were toys for Trek, based on the great props, most merchandise was of the higher age bracket.
Seeing your Space-themed posts, John, makes me wish I was younger than a teen when the show premiered.
