Explore the pages of the rare 1996 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog with our high-definition scans. Before attending any Toy Fairs for the year, Hasbro handed out this catalog to advertise their upcoming toys. This catalog contained sneak peeks at lines like Gargoyles, G.I. Joe Extreme, and Beast Wars Transformers.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters was one of the final toy lines to appear in the 1996 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog. For decades, Godzilla has entertained audiences across the world. While this monster began as the embodiment of nuclear devastation, he had transformed into a pop culture icon. Many companies, including Mattel, have created toys for Godzilla over the decades. In 1996, Hasbro produced a small selection of Godzilla inflatables, action figures, and other toys.

About Our Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog Scans
To promote their upcoming slate of products, Hasbro 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. Therefore, they have become valuable and rare collector’s items.
These Hasbro Toy Fair Catalogs featured toys from their beloved lines. For instance, the company was responsible for one of the most popular action figures of all time: G.I. Joe. They also partnered with Takara to bring the Transformers to the Western market. The company also dipped into the fantastical worlds of Air Raiders, Inhumanoids, and Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. After Hasbro acquired Kenner, they also became the home of toy lines like Jurassic Park and Star Wars.
Hasbro 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 Hasbro 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 Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog Scans. This is a rare treat since catalogs like these have become increasingly difficult to locate with each passing year.
