Parry Game Preserve has images of the 1993 Toy Fair catalog, featuring the addition of Street Fighter 2 to the Joe ranks.

Thanks for that link. I've scanned all of the ToyFair catalogs and dug those up after our talk. I'm convinced the SFII stuff belongs in 1993. I also bought the insanely expensive SFII Dragon Fortress, so this conversation proved to be very expensive for me :-)

Not a detailed archive, but a mention on the site with the respective figures that they were largely reused for another, non joe branded, product line and maybe a link to Yojoe for additional details?
I hear ya. Maybe a page under the figures tab, similar to what I've done with the Unproduced page: http://www.3djoes.com/unproduced.html

This is a key driver... I don't want to document something if it can't be complete.

The more I hear about the 1993 convention (and all of the official Hasbro guests), the more it feels like those convention figures were official product. Do you have any good resources that would spell that out clearly for me?
