    Sites We Rely On

    The other thread about toy lines we admire got me thinking about the great lines/companies that don't have a "definitive" information site. What are some of the sites you rely on for quality information about toys? AND what toys do you hope will have a really informative site in the future?
    Obviously the Mego Museum is the top of the food chain, but there are a few other sites I visit over and over again. These include:
    Adventure Team - Not Your Average Joe site
    3 3/4 figures - Kevin Lentz site.
    8 Inch figures - C.A.F.G.
    And so on...

        I'm on this one for the most part.

          I used to spend time at toynewsi.com, but ever since they took a hands-off approach and harbored the biggest scammer scumbag this hobby has to offer, I have sworn to never go back, and to spread the word that they tolerate that kind of trash there.

            Yo Joe is great. I love browsing the early years of the RAH stuff that I had back then.
            I recently came across a couple of really helpful Marx sites.
            Knights & Vikings is a great focus on these figures.
            http://www.stewartsattic.com/marx/index.cfm covers Johnny West, as well as Mike Hazard and Girl From Uncle.
            Another helpful site is Super Joe Command Center if you are interested in the short-lived Super Joe line. I guess the line that I feel deserves a more thorough and expanded site is definitely SMDM, although Karen Bionic Fan does a pretty good job of posting her fine collection here.

              I really don't surf too too much, but I use a few sites like virtual toy chest to look at vintage stuff that I grew up with, and I like the matty forum for news about mattel products. And of course here for all mego greatness!

              I run a G.I.JOE fan club here where I live and I report news on my facebook and my myspace.

                      I spend a lot of time at Foreign Mego and Megolike.

                      I also use translation pages quite a bit.
