This 1984 Coleco Toy Fair Catalog page presented information on one of the company’s ride-on vehicles: 1801, the Mr. Turtle Power Cycle. Young ones could hop onto MR. TURTLE and head for endless highways of fun. This cycle was ideal for little riders to learn on, so stores should have stocked up for runaway sales. Moreover, it was made of sturdy polyethylene, with a 9″ direct drive front wheel, non-tip rear wheels, contour seat, and sure-grip handlebars. It also clicked when driven and was built tough to last. Thus, it was a perfect “first” ride-on.
Then, there was 1826, the G.I. Joe Mobile Strike Force Power Cycle. Stores would be battling for more inventory when little sidewalk soldiers found out that they had this cycle with authentic olive drab coloring and G.I. JOE decorations. It had a molded motorcycle fairing and windshield, simulated lights, and a front fender, plus a 3-position adjustable seat that grew with the child. Furthermore, it featured a 13” direct drive front wheel, wide track rear wheels for stability, sure-grip handlebars, nonskid pedals, and a motor racing sound when pedaled. It also had rugged polyethylene construction.

About Our Coleco Toy Fair Catalog Scans
To promote their upcoming slate of products, Coleco handed out catalogs to toy fair and other event attendees like dealers and retailers. Each catalog was filled with information about their newest toys, even ones still in development. Thus, they were often provided the first looks at action figures, playsets, vehicles, and more from their lines. Thus, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.
These Coleco Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the Sectaurs, who combined insects with superheroes, appeared in multiple catalogs. Likewise, Coleco produced and promoted the Rambo toy line, which focused on the cartoon series. There were also many vehicles and toys from the Starcom toy line.
Coleco 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 in these catalog pages, as they were canceled or never hit retail store shelves.
While Coleco 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 Coleco Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
