Toy-Ventures returns with a dream find of vintage toys as we recently were asked to look at a childhood toy collection that nobody wanted. What we found was a treasure trove of Kenner Star Wars, Fisher Price Adventure People, Mego Buck Rogers and so much more! Watch Toy-Ventures on YouTube here
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

While the film was a hit at the box office, it somehow didn’t carry over to the toy shelves. Mattel released only one wave of figures and cancelled other merchandise based […]
