This 1984 Coleco Toy Fair Catalog page presented information on a licensed ride-on vehicle: 1862, the Smurf Mobile Pedal Car. A store could turn on the sales key and toot the profit horn. For, here came the fully steerable, pedal-powered SMURF car with its own SMURF horn, and an ignition key that goes click-click. This Mobile Pedal Car was made of tough polyethylene with colorful, happy SMURF decals and a license plate. The foot pedals adjusted to growing little drivers ages 2 to 4. So, stores should have stocked up on this true-blue license of the ’80s.
Next, they featured 1860, The Dukes of Hazzard General Lee Pedal Car, a full-feature item. Readers were invited to check out this fantastic Coleco version of the GENERAL LEE. This pedal car looked and worked just like the famous car in THE DUKES OF HAZZARD TV show. Moreover, it was fully loaded with authentic auto features. When the ignition key was turned, riders heard the sound of an electric starter motor while the horn played “Dixie”. The driver’s door, hood, and trunk lid all flipped open. Little riders wouldn’t outgrow the adjustable pedals too quickly, either. Styling and decorations were right on target, and the sturdy polyethylene body was built to last.

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.
