EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from 1979, we see actress Gillian Duxbury alongside a large-sized model of the popular electronic game "Merlin". Accompanied by two young children, six-year-old Julia and seven-year-old Grant, the trio is surrounded by an array of other toys sold at Woolworths. The image captures the essence of entertainment in the 1970s, where handheld electronic games like Merlin were all the rage. Gillian Duxbury's radiant smile mirrors the excitement that these innovative games brought to children and adults alike. As she stands next to Merlin, its colorful buttons and mesmerizing lights hint at endless hours of fun and adventure. This iconic game was manufactured by MB Electronics and distributed by Parker Brothers, making it a must-have item for any toy enthusiast during that era. The photograph also showcases Woolworths as a go-to destination for toy shopping back in those days. Rows upon rows of various playthings fill the shelves behind them, offering a glimpse into the vast selection available to eager shoppers. Amongst this treasure trove of toys is Star Bird - another beloved favorite amongst kids during that time period. Its presence adds even more nostalgia to this already captivating scene. Doreen Spooner's expertly captured moment transports us back to October 31st, 1979 - an era when electronic wizardry was just beginning to take hold in our homes.
