Begin your journey through the 1983 Toy Fair Catalog from LJN, where they never stop growing up. This catalog includes exciting previews of the 1983 line-up. So, continue exploring to see some of the first previews that retailers saw of the newest action figures.
The 1983 LJN Toy Fair Catalog advertised a wide range of Rough Riders vehicles with motorized 4×4 power to tackle off-roading. The company further expanded the toy line with the Impossibles tracks and vehicles. These unique stunt sets allowed the Rough Riders to defy gravity in various ways. Rather than using speed, these tracks gripped onto the deep treads of the Rough Riders to produce these feats.

Here, LJN presented #6205, the Impossibles Supersystem. This dynamic new roadway system allowed for limitless twists, turns, loops, and curve configurations. The set came with a Rallye Bronco with a special retention clip and tires that made the impossible happen. Thus, it could four-wheel upside down, sideways, and even up the wall. To achieve this, the set built wall climbs, multiple spirals, and dozens of daredevil layouts. This set came with the Rallye Bronco 4×4 vehicle, 12 feet of flexible roadway, 2 tire modules, a stunt platform, and 2 entry ramps.

About Our LJN Toy Fair Catalog Scans
LJN handed out catalogs to attendees of toy fairs and other events to promote their upcoming slate of products. Each catalog was filled with information about their newest toys, even ones still in development. Thus, they often provided the first looks at action figures, playsets, vehicles, and more from their lines. Therefore, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.
These LJN Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the company introduced the world to the heroic ThunderCats. They also competed in the motorized 4×4 vehicle market with the Rough Riders. Otherwise, the company created the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons toy line.
LJN used in-production prototypes in their images, as these catalogs were prepared before the lines were released. This meant that the featured toys often differed from the retail releases. Moreover, toys sometimes appeared only on these catalog pages, as they were canceled or never hit retail store shelves.
While LJN only handed these booklets out to trade professionals, we have now made them available to all. You can explore the toys featured in these catalogs with our LJN Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
