Vintage Toys I saw this weekend

[RSS]

This past Sunday I set up at Burlington Toy Show, mostly to hang out with friends and eat food that's not good for me but also to hopefully earn some money for next week's Mego Meet toy show.


It was hard being good but I took photos instead of buying, above is easily the rarest toy at the show, a boxed Battlestar Galactica Land Ram. Way, way out of my price league but so nice to see.
Here are a few more highlights.




This bootleg Avengers set wins most "awesome" toy I saw all weekend, in addition to being just weird, there is also a random shot of a woman cos playing as Ms Marvel on the card. Glorious.




There was vintage Mego all around me, which is of course, bad for a guy trying to save money to go to a Mego Convention! Agghhhh!





And of course, I was RIGHT next to door to this, the Shogun Warriors utility belt and it's very easy to work with vendor. I'm happy to say I do some will power.





I'm not the world's biggest Captain Action fan but I have to admit seeing a photo boxed Dr Evil was surprisingly tempting.




Plenty more photos and coverage of this event at the Plaid Stallions Facebook page.












Also, don't forget that the tenth annual Mego Meet toy show is this weekend, it has a customs contest, exclusive figures and toys, door prizes, a customs auction (featuring original creations spun off from Brick Mantooth) and the most Mego centric dealers room available. For more information visit the official Mego Meet facebook page.

Nice show! I never knew the BSG Landram actually made it to production. That's the first time I have ever seen a photograph of one. Very cool.

That Avengers knock-off is all kinds of crazy. Nick Fury looks more like Will Smith. Plus it looks like he's got white hands.

Cap's been on steroids since 1941. It finally caught up to him.

Great stuff there. Man, I wish there were some good toy shows near here.

It's wild that the Shogun utility belt showed up like that just after you had "featured" it. That is will power.

I was tipped off earlier in the week by Dana that he'd be bringing it, I didn't expect it would be three feet in front of me the entire day.

The show had steady sales for me but most people were spending $10-$20, so purchasing it would have taken all my money. A sobering thought.

Well, it gives you something to seek out later. And, it's certainly worth seeking out.

I always love looking at all that vintage goodness

How much was the guy asking for the Land Ram Brian? It's cool to see such a truly rare toy at a show.

That Shogun utility belt was tempting me too! Damn you, Fitski Bros!

Nah. That's from a What If? story Marvel never got around to doing. Instead of using the Secret Soldier Serum,they used Gamma Rays.

I do not have the will power you do Brian, this is why I rarely go to toy shows
