Toy-Ventures: Toronto Comic Con Toy Hunt!

I was invited to the “Bootleg Safari” panel at Toronto Comic Con. So, this agoraphobe braved the crowds to see if vintage toys were still at these mega conventions. Are these giant conventions good for old toys? We get into that in a non “Cranky Old Person” way. 

Also, Mrs. Mantooth and I hit an antique mall for additional eye candy!

Do you miss toy collector magazines?

That’s why we created Toy-Ventures magazine, an old-school print publication dedicated to vintage toys from the 1960s to the 1990s. Each issue is packed with never before seen images and information written by some of the top collectors. We’ve got nine issues and climbing; please check our page here or visit our store.

 

The Mego Museum News has rebranded into the Super Collector Newsletter! Encompassing more from sites like PlaidStallions and more. Check it out even if you don’t collect Mego figures.
