Telco Halloween Motionettes haunt Toy-Ventures Issue 8

It’s October, and Toy-Ventures magazine is always a friend of horror-related toys; nothing is more fitting than this beautiful article.

Issue 8 will see a newcomer to the magazine in the form of Heath Smith who brings us into the world of the Telco Halloween Motionette. These wonderful horror-themed animatronics were something I was largely unaware of. Still, after working on this article, it’s easy to see their appeal and why they are so highly coveted. Toy-Ventures is not responsible for any eBay purchases made after reading this article.

Issue 8 of Toy-Ventures magazine will ship this October. You can preorder it at the PlaidStallions store.
