1982 Tomy Toy Fair Catalog – Page 55 – Handheld Electronics


Wheeljack’s Lab invites you to explore the 1982 Tomy Toy Fair Catalog. Since catalogs like this were originally distributed at trade shows, the general public rarely saw them. Thus, few could see glimpses of upcoming toy lines and products. Luckily, our high-definition scans now allow you to view the promotional images of Tomy’s Electronic Games and other toys.

The 1982 Tomy Toy Fair Catalog featured various electronic games, including Tomytronic devices and mini arcades. Like many companies in the early 1980s, Tomy embraced the growing video game industry. So, the company set out to create the excitement of arcades at home. They offered a range of small electronics featuring simple yet fun games.

This game required 2 “C” batteries, which were not included.

Next was the Digital Diamond game, Stock No. 7052. It didn’t have to be baseball season for players to spend all day playing baseball. Digital Diamond played just like a real baseball game, with a complete scoreboard that kept track of who was the newest baseball star. This game required 2 “AA” batteries, which were not included.

About Our Tomy Toy Fair Catalog Scans

Tomy handed out catalogs to attendees of toy fairs and other events, such as dealers and retailers, to promote their upcoming slate of products. Each catalog contained information about the company’s newest toys, even ones still in development. Thus, companies often included first looks at action figures, playsets, vehicles, etc. Therefore, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.

These Tomy Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. These catalogs often featured Tomy’s selection of electronic games, from handhelds to mini arcades. Then, there was the mechanical crane, Armatron. Tomy also became beloved for their Tron and Zoids action figure toy lines.

Tomy 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 Tomy only handed these booklets to trade professionals, we have now made them available to all. You can explore the toys featured in these catalogs with our Tomy Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
