Since 1958, Galoob created many memorable toy lines that made it a worthy competitor in the industry. Even though Galoob was never quite as large as Hasbro or Mattel, they were not a small company either. During the 80s, they experimented with new toy lines like the Infaceables and Blackstar. However, they could not maintain the momentum into the 90s. As with many companies in the 80s, Galoob suffered greatly in 1987 with the Black Monday collapse.
Even though Galoob suffered financially in the late 1980s a few toys were still produced in 1992 under the Gloob name. Thus, Galoob’s representative handed out catalogs at Toy Fairs across the nation to prompt dealers and retailers to purchase their products.
The 1992 Toy Fair Catalog featured only a few games, with many pages dedicated to the Micro Machines. However, it notably presented one of the few wrestling toy lines not centered around the WWF. Instead, Galoob featured the WCW, World Championship Wrestling, and their cast. This catalog also featured one product that got Galoob into legal trouble with Nintendo, the Game Genie.

About Our Galoob Catalog Scans
To promote their upcoming slate of products, Galoob 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. Thus, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.
These Galoob Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the company took players to fantasy worlds with lines like the Infaceables and Blackstar. Then, the Defenders of the Earth featured Flash Gordon and other heroes ready to save the day. Other players could create adventures in space with the Adventures of Galaxy Rangers and Star Trek: The Next Generation toy lines. Galoob’s toys also delivered a smack-down with their WCW World Championship Wrestling line-up. The company also created a line-up of mutant aliens, the Biker Mice from Mars.
Galoob 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 Galoob 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 Galoob Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
