    Metropolis Illinois



    Great place to visit (Except when it is 100 degrees outside!)

    Home of Superman, The Americana Toy Museum and Dippin Dots!
    Too many toys. Not enough space!

    I have been there. Very cool place. I went to the Superman Museum but not the Americana Toy Museum. I don't think it was there when I was years ago.

      I stopped there on a road trip this past spring. I loved it! The museum is great. I highly recommend it.

      Unfortunately, the store mostly sells the kind of toys that would be on clearance at a comic shop, but it is fun stop.
      My Updated Want List:
      Comic book original art
      1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can
      Custom Mego Nexus, Grendel

      Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!

          Metropolis is host to the annual Superman Celebration every second weekend in June, celebrating anything and everything about The Man of Steel and superheroes in general. It's a cool event and there is a community of folks who attend it every year who have a site called the "Superfriends of Metropolis". You should check it out. I think a lot of the folks from here would be right at home there, too!
