Kelly's Toys at Huntington Beach.

Gotta get some Bullmark Diecast love!

Very rare to see a Matchbox Captain Kidd in the wild. That Tricorn Hat could be easily repaired.

Picked up a Collectors Shogun Warrior Voltes V.

Ahhh Huntington Beach.

Its been eons since I was there, if my memory serves me right, Kelly's used to be closer to the 22 freeway, off of BEACH Blvd.

HB was my base of operations when I would stay with Joey Tafolla, at his home in SEAWIND Village. Back in the 90's and 00's. The DELL TACO was right around the corner open 24 hours!






And when we craved sushi, we would go to MATSU's southbound on Beach Blvd.

BUT!! I could never live there, too expensive and too many tight-asses!!! Not a fan of Orange County.


There was (IS??) a comic shop in the mall off the exit from the 405 onto Beach Blvd. Again don't know if its still there. Bought a copy of STRANGE ADVENTURES # 18 There back in the 90's.


AND! I can't forget Yoshinoya Beef Bowl!!

Great memory, droog! She was on the Southwest corner of Beach and Ball. Gotta' Have It! Collectable Toys was next to her. Across the street was Bray's Toy Mine.

YES! Gotta Have It! I completely forgot about it. And Brays! If my lone braincell is right, on the east side of the street in the opposite mall was like a MODELING paradise of model shops, which I never went to.

All these places used to advertise in TOY SHOP magazine. That's how I knew about them.

FYI. I bought my six million dollar man: Bigfoot at Kelly's back in the 90's. No box, just by it self. Somewhere in the fortress of solitude. Damn good times.

There was a collectible store in Fullerton and there were it ARE antique shops in Westminster.



I remember back in the 80's going to JEZEBEL's in Anaheim for gigs and seeing all the hookers working The motels on Katella Blvd!! Right down the street from Disney land!!


Bwahahhahhah

What amazing times.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Just looking at the photos of all of that beautiful, vintage goodness was generating the flow of all kinds of beneficial brain chemicals. Mood elevated, anxiety decreased and happiness felt!
