The Inaugural ToyMan of 2025 Was Great Fun!

I missed the last ToyMan show due to a bunch of obligations, but I was able to attend today's event; I had a fantastic time! Certain vendors were unable to be there for an assortment of reasons, some involving that recent snowstorm that we're still feeling an impact from. However, there were still plenty of vendors selling awesome wares. As usual, there was everything from vintage toys, to paper ephemera, Funko, die-cast cars, movies, video-games, Lego, newer toys, Pokemon cards, and more! I kicked off the show by saying hello to John Chaffee of Bigfoot Comics. He was doing well and I picked up a fun helicopter toy from him that Gibson is sure to love (he enjoys stuff with wheels/propellers/etc. Observe:

I proceeded to chat with my friend Tim Metzger about how he was doing and saw Dustin and Tammy--they had a ton of cool retro games! Tatertot Comics and Collectibles had some fun items as well and in the upstairs section I enjoyed chatting with my good friends, authors Jessica Mathews and Lindsay Hornsby--they had all their incredibly fun books and goodies! Jack Thomas of Fortress Comics brought a metric ton of books and I picked up two for a stellar price. Here is a picture:

I had an immense amount of fun at today's ToyMan show! I won't be able to make the next one on March 9th as it happens shortly after a preventative medical procedure one of our kiddos has scheduled. I'll definitely remind everyone as it approaches to attend, however!
