Video: The Mainstream Media Would Never Run This Toy Ad Today

Remember when gun wasn’t a dirty word?

This amazing commercial is for one of the most memorable and best-selling boys’ toys in 1964. The Johnny Seven OMA (One Man Army) by Deluxe Reading has fun features like a grenade launcher, a bolt action rifle, a machine gun, an anti armor rifle, a missile launcher, and detachable pistol. All of this would have made for one seriously fun toy!

We can only imagine the uproar if this product was released today. We are fairly certain that this commercial would never even make it to the air. Watch this wonderful minute of nostalgia below.
