1997 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog – VOR-Tech


Join us on a journey through the 1997 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog, which offered a first look at Hasbro’s latest toys. Some of the toys that Hasbro produced in 1997 included Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and Beast Wars: Transformers.

Beyond the newest Transformers, the 1997 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog featured the VOR-Tech: Undercover Conversion Squad action figures. Owners could become part of the VOR-Tech Undercover Conversion Squad, where things were not always what they seemed. They were a team of ordinary people in ordinary vehicles who used amazing computer technology to convert themselves and their vehicles into an incredible fighting force. This force was then dedicated to saving Earth from an evil power spreading a deadly plague. So, Hasbro invited players to join in this titanic struggle of humans against cyborgs, brother against brother, and machine against machine.

About Our Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog Scans

To promote their upcoming slate of products, Hasbro handed out catalogs to attendees of toy fairs and other events. 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 Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the company was responsible for one of the most popular action figures of all time: G.I. Joe. They also partnered with Takara to bring the Transformers to the Western market. The company also dipped into the fantastical worlds of Air Raiders, Inhumanoids, and Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. After Hasbro acquired Kenner, they also became the home of toy lines like Jurassic Park and Star Wars.

Hasbro 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 Hasbro 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 Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
