Explore the pages of the rare 1987 Coleco Toy Fair Catalog with our high-definition scans. Here, readers had the chance to check out Coleco’s upcoming toy lines like ALF and Starcom. It also featured the Rambo toy line and Coleco’s ever-popular Ride-Ons.
First introduced in 1986, Coleco made a popular Rambo toy line, which featured the hit character played by Sylvester Stalone. While the hit movie quickly made a fortune, it was an R-rated film. Thus, Coleco based these toys on the cartoon series that also appeared in 1986. Characters from the cartoon’s two factions, the Force of Freedom and S.A.V.A.G.E., filled up the toy line’s roster.

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.
