About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to digital, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!

![The Thing [Inflatable] by Funstuf (Commercial, 1979)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4j4xceQQ4UY/hqdefault.jpg "The Thing [Inflatable] by Funstuf (Commercial, 1979)
Here is a neat commercial for The Thing toy from Funstuf. Comes complete with the rock trap. The Thing was, of course, a character from The Fantastic Four comic book (even though they dont mention that).
Note: This is to replace an earlier, now broken (unplayable) video posting, preserved as an unlisted video here to save the original comments: https://youtu.be/Nv5x_MGdVRM)
Remember kids: With a few pumps of the inflator, you can make The Thing expand in size. ;-)
This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, December 3rd 1979 during the 6:30am to 7:00am timeframe.
