Hello All,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m very pleased to announce that issue 3 of Toy-Ventures is now available. I\u2019m so excited to be on our third issue, this has truly been a dream. I mean, our living room is a total disaster and my back is killing me from lugging boxes but I can\u2019t complain because the response has been so overwhelmingly positive and it just keeps growing.<\/p>\n

This issue fills me with pride, and I wanted to spend this time giving some much-needed attention to the folks that made this issue such a success.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Corey LeChat<\/a>– Corey wrote and designed the breathtaking Evel Knievel article this issue but he is also responsible for every issue of Toy-Ventures looking as good as it does, without him, I couldn\u2019t do this. His art direction on every issue is essential and issue 3 is no exception.<\/p>\n

John “Toyzilla” Marshall<\/strong>– John\u2019s articles and books were extremely influential to me, he had a wonderful sense of humor in his writing and it definitely influenced me when I started working on websites, it was such a joy to have him be our first collector feature.<\/p>\n

Tony Roberts<\/a>– I\u2019m a big fan of Tony\u2019s YouTube channel Analog Toys and I\u2019m happy to call him a friend, his article about Captain Zargon inspired the issue\u2019s artistic theme, so along with being highly informative, I\u2019m grateful to him for that incredible inspiration.<\/p>\n

Tim Baron<\/a>– Tim is a brilliant artist who donated his valuable time to this issue and created one of the most striking covers we\u2019ll ever have and was also totally down with our Iron-On promotion. Tim\u2019s contribution to this issue set us on a whole new level.<\/p>\n

Please take a look at the amazing stuff in his Etsy store:

Chris Franklin<\/strong>– Chris not only delivered a fantastic article about the Mego Superheroes but he laid the whole thing out himself and according to my wife, he did a better job than me! It\u2019s truly a milestone for our fledging publication.<\/p>\n

Please check out Chris\u2019s many fun podcast efforts:

Rob Chatlin<\/strong>– Rob is an extraordinary editor and his insight elevates every issue. He generously gives his time to each article and points out my passive voice a whole bunch!<\/p>\n

Steve Moore<\/strong>– Steve is a brother from another mother and always catches stuff no one else does.<\/p>\n

Murphi Cook<\/strong>– Not being a collector is an advantage, especially when you are this smart, her perspective changed many things this issue.<\/p>\n

My Monster pals<\/strong>– Ray<\/a>, Shannon<\/a>, Andrew<\/a>, Seth, Dave, Ian, Trenton, Devlin<\/a>, Will, thank you for sharing your toys and your knowledge, you\u2019re awesome people and have helped out others with your generosity.<\/p>\n

Marty Abrams, Paul Clarke and Joel Rosenzweig of Mego Corp<\/a>. It’s great to be able to “go to the source” for information and I’m grateful that they always have time for us.<\/p>\n

And lastly, my wonderful wife, Michelle who packed every issue in the last 48 hours, is my rock, without her amazing support (and trust me, she\u2019s a patient woman) I could never pull this off.<\/p>\n

You can get Toy-Ventures issue 3 at our Ebay Store\u00a0<\/a> or at the Odeon Toys Online Store.<\/p>\n
