It’s a CREATURE FEATURE kind of #WaxPackWednesday. Which candy colored movie monster is your fav? Also, is it just me, or do the colors on these wrappers look absolutely delicious? 😋 Would have made a great candy wrapper. Or maybe universal monsters themed snack cakes? 🍭🧛🏻‍♂️🍬🧟‍♂️🎂

Remember when Freddy oversaw the GANG WARS, a no-holds-barred brawl of martial arts mutants on the streets of New York City?! Yeah, me either. Pretty great promo art for just another Double Dragon clone though. I know I would have stopped to play had I crossed paths with this arcade cabinet.

Seems like the worst bugs are out in full force right now. 🦠🤢🦠 Give your system a boost and inoculate yourself with these early 90’s ads for Dr. Mario on Game Boy & NES. The perfect double dose of nostalgia from Dr. Mario: “He’s got the cure!” #ToyCommercialTuesdays #DrMario #NES #GameBoy #90s #RAD

Happy Friday. Let’s see if I can unlock a memory for you. ✨🔐✨ If you read marvel comics and/or collected marvel trading cards in the early 90’s, this ad is sure to hit you right in the nostalgia. 🤓🥊💨 As dorky kid who was all about both, I can’t tell you how many times I stopped & stared at this ad.

Love this Knight Rider wrapper design, the colors and composition are so good. 🧡❤️💙 And any time you get a toy ad on a wax pack, it’s a double win.

What do Super Mario Bros., Real Ghostbusters & Pee-Wee’s Playhouse have in common? They all premiered on this very day! SMB hit store shelves in Japan on Sept.13th 1985. And both RGB & PW’s Playhouse hit the airwaves on the same day, a year later, in 1986. Quite an auspicious day for 80’s kids! 📼📺🕹️
