1990 Tonka Toy Fair Dealer Catalog

New Content Time! Just as we glide into the weekend, I wanted to spend a chunk of my Friday getting this delightful 1990 Tonka catalog posted to our slowly but surely growing catalog collection here at the Preserve.

As usual with these books there are oh-so-many treasures to be found. Click on the cover image below to go to the full list of all 90 photos, or scroll down a tad to see a few highlights that I felt might be worthy of your attention!



I am, of course, a big fan of this page which includes not only the super "Space Shuttle" play set, but also their Batman play set!



Also be sure not to miss this kid who is absolutely freaking out over his massive Tonka Truck toy chest. I would be too! 1990 was just a little too late for me to still get these sorts of things as gifts (though that didn't always hold fast as a rule!) so I never had this wonderful and massive storage unit. I do wonder if that kid was just a great actor, or if they put a puppy or a cheesesteak or something in there to get just the right facial expression. Makes you wonder what he's doing now?! I'll guess...middle management at a software company in Denver.
