Sears 1970 Christmas Catalog

Sears 1970 Christmas Catalog Cover

For 1970, Sears introduces: the Star Seeker Walk in Space set, Scorpio, Talking MMM, and Jeff Long. Once again, nearly a full page is devoted to our favorite astronaut (the Sea Devils Deluxe Set inhabits one corner of the page!). It's interesting to note that Scorpio originally sold for $2.99 - current prices have certainly inflated from then! Also on the page are the Uni-Tred & Space Bubble set and MMM on Cat Trac. The ad reads: "Explore Other Worlds with Mattel" and uses the new Mattel logo.
