David Willis (creator of the web comic Shortpacked! (http://www.shortpacked.com/)) was able to acquire a copy of the 1986 Toy Fair catalog and scanned and posted the pages.

Here are the pics in case no one has seen them yet:

Strange as it sounds, I've wondered what the ratio of new to continuing product was. Based on those pages, for some items, it was 2 or 3 to one. (Wonder if Hydro Sled's sold as well as Flight Pods?)

VERY cool. Even the set they used for page1 is awesome! It's simple yet way effective. I like the assortment of figures they were offering too. ANd what's really nice are the blurbs they give about different stuff. They could do that now at TOYFAIR but I guess they just don't have $$$ to do that sort of thing.

I really like seeing the protoype Bat head that would be the one prototype I'd be interested in.
