Begin your journey through the 1988 Toy Fair Catalog from LJN, where they never stop growing up. This catalog includes exciting previews of the 1988 line-up. So, continue exploring to see some of the first previews that retailers saw of the newest action figures.
The 1988 LJN Toy Fair Catalog provided a helpful contents page that directed readers to their desired products. This page helped readers navigate to their favorite toy lines and let them know which toys LJN was promoting in 1988. Many of LJN’s toy lines in this catalog, like Gotcha, Blasters, and Zap It, are not included in our scans. Instead, we are happy to present the pages on Enteractive Video Games, Bionic Six, and Wrestling Superstars.

Unlike prior years, LJN no longer saw its toy division as a strong selling point. Instead, it began to push its electronic toys and video games. By 1989, LJN had closed down its toy division altogether. Then, in 1990, Acclaim bought LJN. So, this is one of the final toy fair catalogs that featured the toys from LJN.
We are glad to present these exciting, exclusive 1988 LJN Toy Fair Catalog scans. You are invited to check out even more of our scans to see the exciting promotional images from LJN.

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.
