Join us on a journey through the 1986 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog, which offered a first look at Kenner’s latest toys. For instance, readers had the chance to view the Star Wars Droids and M.A.S.K. toys.
The 1986 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog provided information about Star Wars Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO action figures. The excitement was back that year as Lucasfilm brought these unforgettable characters and action-packed stories to Saturday morning television. This epic struggle of good vs evil continued in Kenner’s exciting Droids Collection. All the popular characters from the animated series were back with great new friends. They were also all bright, colorful, and intricately detailed.

Here, Kenner promoted No. 93700, an A-Wing Fighter Toy Vehicle. Rebels could fly the unfriendly skies in the new A-WING FIGHTER, as seen in RETURN OF THE JEDI. Players could place one STAR WARS Action Figure inside by opening the canopy, which is operated by an action lever in the back.
When the battle was over, the vehicle was ready for landing. Fans could activate the landing gear with another lever. Since battles should be heard as well as seen, the A-WING FIGHTER featured laser sounds and side cannons that clicked. This vehicle held most action figures, each sold separately, and used two “AA” alkaline batteries, which were not included.

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.
