Many thanks to R.M. Hart for scanning and sharing the following MOTU and She-Ra pages from several Sears catalogs with me so I could share them on the blog!

Always fun to look at these! I quite like the sleek designs of those MOTU pajamas on page 193 of the ’85 catalog. And that “Where’s the Beef?” wristwatch has gotta be one of the most ’80s things I’ve ever seen!
So good to see these, plus the other toy lines available et the time. I like how the slippers with the character heads on them seemed to be an ongoing thing back then.
They must’ve been in high demand too, at least the Skeletor pair. My parents ordered them two years in a row from these very catalogs and both times got a refund check back. The third year, Sears swapped the Skeletor order for a pair of Big Bird slippers, which I grudgingly accepted. To this day I lament not getting my Skeletor slippers.
I would have lamented that too. Those Skeletor slippers are just too cool!
