The 1988 LJN Toy Fair Catalog provided information about the company’s Enteractive Video Games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. As the NES became the highest-selling video gaming system during the 1980s, reviving the industry, LJN made its presence strongly known. With its large catalog of licenses from its toy division, LJN was able to dominate the licensed video games for the system.

Here, they promoted #5156, the Jaws video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Unlike a typical fishing trip, the game asked players to gather weapons and hunt for the famous great white shark from the film.
Then, they introduced #5152, the Town & Country Wood and Water Rage. Players joined a gang of T&C characters to enter the awesome world of skating and surfing action. So, they could both jam the ramps and ride the California waves.
Finally, LJN presented #5154, Major League Baseball. This game asked players to choose their line-up based on actual stats. They could hit, pitch, catch, and make managerial decisions here.

About Our LJN Toy Fair Catalog Scans
LJN 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 LJN Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the company introduced the world to the heroic ThunderCats. They also competed in the motorized 4×4 vehicle market with the Rough Riders. Otherwise, the company created the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons toy line.
LJN 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 LJN 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 LJN Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
