Perkins' Fanta-Mals (Commercial #4, 1974?)

Views: 1133

Here's kind of a rare oddity - a commercial for a "coloring book/cut-out paper dolls kit" type toy called Fanta-Mals (or Mini-Mals) by Perkins. This was found on an old 3/4" tape and dates to about 1974 or 1975. Does anyone remember these?

Features the Fanta-Mals mascot - "Ralf", the green monster with the pink umbrella.

Again, not sure when or where these aired.
