    Thats pretty awesome. Hasbro's ad designers have been doing a GREAT job these past couple of years with not only package design but layouts and such in general. This year thus far has been stellar.

    Kind of suprising but cool. There is no reason why Prime shouldnt be a household name. He is justa s iconic as Batman or Spiderman in my opinion. I am biased though.

    Advertisers seem to be getting a lot of mileage out of that toy.

    Judging by his location and the bottom of the second pic, I'd say the Evansville Courier & Press. (My hometown's paper!)

    Cool ad, but I always think it's odd to see general unbranded ads like this. I remember seeing a TV commercial for carpet a few weeks ago. No manufacturer or vendor mentioned at all. Just essentially, "Buy carpet. It's neato."
