It’s quite rare to find Masters of the Universe knockoff figures nowadays that no one has ever seen or heard of. Well, I take that back actually. There are countless He-Man knockoffs and bootlegs that no one has heard of, but I’m more specifically referring to all you “hardcore” collectors out there. You pretty much [...]
Hey guys! There’s another social media channel we can all quickly adopt and just as quickly ignore. It’s Vine! A video sharing channel where each video is only six seconds long! (If Twitter is blogging for folks with A.D.D., then Vine is YouTube for those with A.D.D.) I’ve jumped on the bandwagon, so expect to [...]
A few years back, I discovered the Greater York Toy Extravaganza – a huge toy show which takes place Thanksgiving weekend in York, PA. Each year the show is packed with everything – 800 tables of modern stuff, vintage stuff and even historical stuff. Plastic crap or diecast metal crap. All types of toys for [...]

I recently attended a toy show where I dug up what could be some of the most obscure 80s toys in existence. (Sounds pretty dramatic, huh? Well, maybe the most obscure toys I own.) Seriously though. Look at these guys. It’s a freakin’ oatmeal monster and the Quaker Oats guy as a He-Man figure. (Click [...]
You know what’s great about authoring a toy blog? Finding and connecting with fellow toy nuts like yourselves. Know what makes it even better? When we toy nuts share with each other. I’m not even talking about sharing thoughts, photos, etc. That’s truly great, but I mean literally just giving each other toys. (Maybe I [...]
