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.
The 1996 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog advertised the newest selection of Star Wars action figures and vehicles. Now that Hasbro had acquired Kenner, the toy line that changed the toy industry was under their control. Thus, Hasbro continued Kenner’s legacy by continuing to produce Star Wars action figures.

This 1996 Hasbro Pre-Toy Fair Catalog page featured #69570, the Star Wars Figure Assortment, which featured more favorite heroes and villains from the classic movie trilogy. Exciting new sculptings for the ‘90s brought the characters to life. Each package also included authentic weapons and accessories. Character biographies and statistics were included.
Then, there was #69795, the Star Wars Lightsaber, a full-size reproduction of the famous Jedi Knight weapon used by Luke Skywalker. It featured three electronic sounds straight from the movie: a power-up, a running sound, and a battle crash. The telescoping saber also lit up for non-stop action. It required 2 “C” batteries, which were not included.
Next, Hasbro presented information on #69765, the Star Wars “Speeder Bike”, which was just like the vehicle featured in the Return of the Jedi. It included a Biker Scout pilot figure that was only available with it. The front of the bike exploded off in the heat of battle.
Finally, there was #69776, the Star Wars Imperial AT-ST Vehicle. Kids could operate the charging, stomping legs. This vehicle featured rotating gun turrets that turned 360⁰. Moreover, figures, which were sold separately, could fit into the gunner station cockpit.

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.
