Transformers

In 1986, a promotional mailer was sent out to Transformers fans for the animated theatrical movie.  This mailer included a mini-poster, artwork and even the opportunity to order figures!  Check out my scans and info about this artifact.

In 1986, the first theatrical Transformers movie was released.  Leading up to it there were different types of promotions including a pamphlet/order form that you could get through the mail by sending in an order form, a ticket stub from the film and $1 USD.  Of course, Hasbro wanted to promote the toys too, so the order form also allowed you to mail order special "Movie Editions" of Optimus Prime and Megatron, the S.T.A.R.S.
