Just a quick question. On the back of Mainframes portable computer, is there something that should go there? I can't remember but there are 4 holes in it so I am sure something does get put in there. Isn't it some kind of stand?

I have that mainframe and the computer does have four tiny holes in the bottom of it. But the figure didn't have any accessories that went into the bottom of the computer

There is a picture of Mainframe in the Hasbro Toy Fair catalog from that year that shows the computer sitting on a stand. So yeah, that was the original intent. Why they scrapped it is a mystery....because it looked really cool.
I have attached the picture below...judge for yourself:

Many of the figures in that picture are hand-painted prototypes. Check out the black hair on Dial Tone and General Hawk, the thicker head sculpt on the BAT, and the different camo pattern on General Hawk's pants. Beach Head and Sci Fi also have slightly different (more detailed) paint apps.
Toy Fair catalogs are really cool for just this reason. I've personally wanted a 1998 catalog for a long time (to see the second series of Visionaries), but for some reason that's the priciest one of all. It can sell for upwards of $150. A friend told me that - of all things - it's because of the pictures of Jem that are also in that issue. I guess Jem fans love them some Jem.....
