ATT,

Has anyone in the fandom ever created a G1 style toy catalog for any of
the post G1 toy lines? Seems like it would be relatively easy to do
nowadays with an endless supply of toy photos on the internet, photoshop,
etc. How great would it be to be able to download a toy catalog for say
the Energon line or for Kingdom.

What I've seen a lot of, in recent years, is people taking the old G1 catalogs and plugging the neo-G1 toys into their place. So, like, the 1984 checklist shows Netflix Soundwave, Siege Rumble and Laserbeak, Earthrise Starscream, etc. It's been done a lot and sometimes it turns out really well (but sometimes fans have to "cheat" and use photos of third-party toys because there haven't been official Hasbro updates for some characters). I realize that's not quite what you're asking, though.

I googled what you are talking about. Very cool, I’ve never sent that
before. If I get some time off from work I might try to put one together
as a Xmas break project.
