Join us on a journey through the 1982 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog, which offered a first look at Kenner’s latest toys. For instance, readers had the chance to examine the latest Star Wars Micro Collection Playsets and Indiana Jones action figures.
The 1982 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog advertised the selection of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark action figures, vehicles, and playsets. After George Lucas’s Star Wars gained Kenner tremendous success, they were happy to team up with him again for his newest franchise, Indiana Jones. Thus, Kenner introduced their latest smash hit, The Adventures of Indiana Jones, which featured the only movie at the time, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Thus, one of the greatest collaborations in toy and movie history now brought one of the greatest heroes of all time.

On this page, Kenner promoted more Adventures of Indiana Jones with the New Well of the Souls Playset from The Raiders of the Lost Ark Collection. With this set, fans could relive the mystery and terror of the final moments before Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood found the Ark of the Covenant.
The Well of the Souls playset from the Raiders of the Lost Ark Collection had it all. For instance, its break-through wall featured corpses on one side while there were ancient hieroglyphs on the other. Then, the mummy and 12 plastic snakes would give Indy and Marion a run for their money before they found the beautifully detailed vacuum-metalized Ark.
It also included 2 poles to help them carry the Ark from the altar, a hood, and a rope. Furthermore, it had two torches that provided aid for their escape if they could make it. Meanwhile, all other action figures were sold separately.

About Our Kenner Toy Fair Catalog Scans
Kenner handed out catalogs to attendees of toy fairs and other events to promote their upcoming slate of products. 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. Therefore, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.
These Kenner Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, their ground-breaking Star Wars toy line often appeared in these catalogs. Kenner also gave players the chance to live out superhero fantasies with the Super Powers action figures. Another of their beloved lines, M.A.S.K., also were featured in multiple catalogs. There were also other action figure lines like Centurions.
Kenner 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 Kenner 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 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
