As Coleco toured toy fairs and other events in 1986, they handed out this exciting catalog to the various dealers, vendors, and other trade professionals. Like prior years, the 1986 Coleco Toy Fair Catalog gave glimpses of the great toys that the company would send to stores in the following months. Even though Coleco had closed down their video game division in the prior year, they still had many toys to look forward to.
As expected, the catalog had a multitude of pages dedicated to their smash hit, the Cabbage Patch Kids. Even though these dolls were popular, Coleco created multiple other toys that appeared here. For instance, they also introduced a new type of cuddly companion, the Furkins.
Those looking forward to boys’ toys were not disappointed with this catalog. The unique insect-themed toy line, the Sectaurs, returned with new additions in this catalog. There was also a new exciting toy line, especially for action movie fans, Rambo. While this line took most of its cues from the cartoon series, it also harkened back to the movie.
Wheeljack’s Lab proudly presents high-definition scans of the 1986 Coleco Toy Fair Catalog featuring Rambo and Sectaurs.

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.
