August 1979
Shogun Warriors #7
It’s the Fun Factory again! We’ve seen these guys before in 1978 and 1980, and they’re (mostly) still up to their same old tricks!
I would love to see statistics from this place – what were their biggest sellers, vs. what products were duds?
One thing that I find interesting is the fact that it says “OFFER VALID UNTIL AUGUST 1986” – that’s seven years from the time this was printed! Considering that a lot of these items went up in price by the very next year, it would be worth it to dig around for an older comic!
Comic Book Ads 
i still have a few of the gadgets i am slowly recollecting them . my dad used to run fun factory when i was a kid . i dont know how long but remember going down to the warehouse in palisades park nj when i was a kid and bieng able to take whatever i thought was cool. my dad paid for it of course. but it also got me into comics since we would get copies of everything the ad was in boys life and comic books was very cool i have the ad framed in my mancave with his buisness card

Wow! That is *amazing*, and I am *incredibly* jealous of you! I can’t even begin to imagine what a magical experience that would’ve been as a kid. And I think it’s awesome that you have a framed copy of the ad – that must be a very special connection to your childhood.
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
