Commercial Storyboards

While these storyboards for some of Kenner’s RGB toy commercials are more rough and ready than some of the other artwork featured on the site, they still offer a cool glimpse at how the live action advertising shorts were planned out before they were filmed.

The storyboard above is for the commercial which featured the Ecto Goggles, Ecto Popper, Nutrona Blaster and Water Zapper. Kenner used the same commercial to advertise the Ghost Trap too.

As well as the TV commercial, Kenner also advertised the haunted watch mail away premium through participating stores. The watch itself was a free gift when you sent off three proofs of purchase from any toy, vehicle or playset.
