They still are. I watch several cartoons with my daughter and the line of toys is impressive. Even though we have digital stuff, toys are huge sellers and there is more variety nowadays than when I was a kid in the 80's The stores here in São Paulo are massive.

80s ads were much more manipulative. Recently I watched an episode of old tmnt. Difference is the uploader uploaded the video in its entitety, including the toys ads.
Even as an adult I was completely overtaken by those ads. They stopped the series and immediately placed the ads. Except the settings, the fast sequence transition and the loud narrators, they'd go straight to the next add within a few miliseconds. Today they do not allow such methods in kids ads.

80s cartoons were garbage made to sell toys. Only boomers think otherwise.

The Real Ghostbusters was not shit.
