Issue 12 Toy-Ventures magazine delves deep into a toy that, sadly, never was. Prank ‘N Stein was a 90s toy concept by Canada’s Irwin Toys that would have rivalled Kenner’s Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces in our monster kid hearts. Read about Prank ‘N Stein and much more in issue 12 of Toy-Ventures […]
Spider-Man and Captain America Richochet Racers (eBay Link) — I’ve never owned these toys but have always been obsessed with them since I saw them at my friend Richard’s House. None of it makes sense and none of it has to, I always loved the comic book ad for this, it also makes zero […]

A Man called Sloane Crew Jacket (eBay Link) — As listeners of our Podcast might know, I am obsessed with the TV series “A Man Called Sloan.” It was a late 70s spy series that had some camp value, very much like Buck Rogers. I really want this but I’m not sure what I’d do […]
