ETS DE NEUTER is a French toy distributor that has been in operation for more than 60 years. The following scans are from its 1995 Christmas trade catalogue and feature many of the big name toy and game brands. The front cover has a wintry, foresty, Christmas wonderland feel to it, while the back cover shows a range of cool merchandise for popular 90s film The Lion King. In between these covers are more than 80 pages of well-presented toy photos and dioramas, making this catalogue a joy to look through.
As well as toys and games, ETS De Neuter distributed household, sports, leisure and electrical goods, which the catalogue also features – but we’ll save those goodies for another time. For now, sit back and enjoy these cool 90s toys. Click if you need to go bigger. Thanks for looking.

Great find! Europe got those cool G2 Transformers that I’m always jealous of.
Hm, Roboscop in 1995? I thought the franchise had died by then.

The Robocop toys featured are fairly obscure I’d imagine as it looks like they were based on the 1994 Canadian TV series of the franchise. I didn’t even know there was a Robocop TV series. Apparently it picked up where the films left off but was much less violent.

Another great collection. I fondly remember Mastermind, I owned the pocket sized edition of the game and was fantastic for exercising my brain and deductive powers. I have to say I would have liked to have owned some of the Robocop vehicles and the Asterix the Gaul toys. I managed to get one of the Asterix comic books (where they embark on a grand tour of Europe gathering delicacies for a banquet) and it was hilarious!

Hi FT. I keep meaning to try and get hold of some Mastermind ads to make a post. I still have my childhood game in its box. Loved reading Asterix at school and they also had copies at our local library.

Hello again, I think I got a few Asterix books from my library too but the Grand Tour of Europe was the most memorable. I just loved the names, Chief Vital Statistix, Obelix and of course Dogomatix (sorry Wooof!)
