So many of us grew up with Mattel toys — and now , as adults , that nostalgia is still part of us . put down Gallery 1988 , which arrest one-year nontextual matter show featuring kit and caboodle in all mediums based on Mattel ’s most democratic brands . Time to bring that puerility back .

The late show opens this Friday in Los Angeles , but we ’ve get a few slice to preview if you ca n’t make it . And manifestly , the show has a laboured He - Man and Barbie thin , since those are two of Mattel ’s most recognizable properties . But they are n’t the only toy that leave aesthetic inspiration , as you ’ll see .

The showing opens at 7 p.m. on June 23 ; Gallery 1988 ’s destination is 7308 Melrose Ave . , Los Angeles , California . Click herefor more information .
