Blast From the Past - Scans of Transformers Featured in Toy Fair 1986 Catalog

By bwbm on Tuesday, March 02, 2010

Back in 1986, Toy Fair was a different beast than it is now. There was less press and was mainly a place for companies to showcase their upcoming year's product to retailers ranging from big box to your local comic book shop owners. TFWiki and AllSpark worked together last week , with help from fan donations, to purchase a catalog of Toy Fair from that year, and have showcased what is in that catalog on TFWiki, which showcases Ultra Magnus and the Gestalts Menasor, Protecticons, and Combaticons.

Something else also came out of this: a charity fundraiser for Hasbro Children's Hospital. Over 100 people donated, ultimately raising $2,340 that went to a great cause, showing that when Transfans get together, we can do great things!

We work really hard to be the best resource for all your Transformers news and reviews every day. Keep your browser dialed to Tformers.com for updates as they happen.

The only advantage I can see to that, is the travesty of Animated as a whole, and Armada Hot Shots design will be almost a delusion.

I don't know. This might piss some people off but with regard to GI Joe, it doesn't seem like much has changed over the years. Look at Target Snowjob 2-pack. The movie version is no great improvement over the original. I'm no expert. I also realize there are only so many innovations to b... read more

Indeed - it is not a criticism of later lines, but merely a consequence of their position in history that causes them to lack certain qualities that are of interest to collectors and appreciators. Take, for instance, the latest line of movie-related toys - many of these figures feature superior des... read more

That site also has 1986 G.I. Joe toys. (link) I like my Transformers, but I think the G.I. Joe toys stand the test of time far better. The articulation of the figures created a minimum standard for all others. The vehicles are even better. G.I. Joe seems to be the only toyline whose vehicles... read more

I personally hate how hard some of the Bayformers are to transform. I don't mind a challenge. I just hate getting so frustrated by an overly complicated transformation.

Despite the heaviness of the current conversation, I've been wondering...who are the Protecticons?
