Marvel Plastic Pillows

It's Marvel's Swingin' Inflatable Plastic Pillows!

This classic ad mentions that these Plastic Pillows are the “most original Marvel merchandising masterpieces ever”. They sure are original, but why plastic pillows? What can you do with one? Sure their suggestions of “bang ‘em and toss ‘em” both sound like great ideas, but can’t you do that with most stuff? Stan Lee probably had a hand in writing this because of the use of his word forbush, which was a word he made up to refer to something puny or weak. Well, at least it is only $1.50 and it has full-color Thor and Spiderman on it. Plastic Pillow fight anyone?
