Retro Toy Chest: You could own your very own ALF! (1986)

 In 1986, ALF took off like a runaway rocket, anchoring NBC's Monday night lineup, and, in time, spawned not one, but two animated spinoffs.

Not only that, but there was a toy tie-in comparable with some of the syndicated weekday cartoons on the air at the time. Coleco obtained a license for the ALF figures, and ol' ALF himself (voice of Paul Fusco) is seen in this ad.


I think the figures left the market when the series ended.
