Toy-Ventures: Toy Show Hunt

Toy-Ventures takes you on another journey, this time it’s a quest for Knock-Off action figures. We hit a toy show and an antique mall in search of treasure. I share what I find and what I saw in this week’s installment. Knock Offs is our next book, join our facebook page: We’ve got a new […]

Canadas Greatest Toy Show and Sale

I had the pleasure of visiting the toy show that started it all for me today. The CTS show was the first I ever attended (probably when it was in it’s 15th year and I in my 16th) and i’m happy to say it’s going strong. The joy of this show is that it’s an old […]

More stuff I saw at a toyshow

Went in early to the Spring Canadian Toy collectors show on Saturday and snapped a few shots of what’s waiting for folks tomorrow in Toronto. This by no means represents this metric ton of cool stuff there, just some of the more oddball things that caught my eye. Fonzie Pencil case with it’s creepy caricature almost […]
