Howdy howdy, and welcome to another edition of the Super Powers Highlight! For your consideration today is the other catalog I have relating to how Kenner promoted their toy lines. This one is from 1985, and was given to Kenner accounts probably either by a representative, salesman or directly at their Toy Fair showroom. It details all of the various giveaways and purchase incentives that customers would have when buying Super Powers (as well as other) product put out for sale by Kenner Toys back in 1985. Of note are the changes made to the fan club kit as opposed to the 1984 edition and the specific noted use of the DC comic series as a vehicle to promote the toys. On to the images…so enjoy!
Until next time, take care!
Peace,
Chip
Hey Chip, have you seen this:
http://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2Fauctions%2Fpreview.asp%3Fcode%3D2011feb%26itemtype%3D1%26pg%3D2%23Item_876111&id=876111
what’s the story?!?
Jason and Chip share their thoughts on this discovery in this thread: http://www.actionfigureinsider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=20881
These catalogs are disappearing from Toy Fair. Some of the smaller companies still use them or a series of one-sheets, but most company now give out disks or thumb drives.
Thanks for sharing Chip.
nice i always wondered what the old catlogs the companies would hand out at toy fair to sell the toys looked like. and remember the super powers comic book. plus the clark kent mail away figure.
Are these even available today – telling us an approximate number of figures produced–one million cardbacks– I wonder if that even happens on some lines anymore….
