Description

Tang TV Commercial Production Cel Setup on Key Master Background (Kraft Foods, 1980). Tang was invented in 1957 and gained fame when NASA used it for John Glenn's Mercury flight. It has been associated with outer space ever since. This is an incredible one-of-a-kind Key Master setup from a Tang commercial that ran in 1980. A heroic Tang-branded robot assists a couple of young space travelers who have discovered that space-bats have absconded with their breakfast drink. The Tang character stands 7" tall, the rest of the characters stand approximately 4" tall and all are hand-inked and hand-painted on pan production cels. The multi-cel setup is over a Key Master hand-painted pan production background that measures 28" x 10.25" and is marked BG5. This is a fantastic one-of-a-kind advertising artifact from the days when Saturday morning commercials spoke directly and unabashedly to children. The setup is matted with an opening of 24" x 9" in a 30" x 15" mat. Minor handling wear. Condition is Very Good.
