December 2025's ToyMan was a Great Way to Close Out the Year

Today was the last ToyMan Show of the year and the last comic show of 2025 that I'll be attending (unless I'm totally forgetting something on my calendar). It was a stellar way to close out the year! I will emphasize how ToyMan shows are always so full of stuff that if you can't find something, you probably didn't look hard enough. Toys (new and old), die-cast cars, laserdiscs, Funko, paper ephemera, DVDs, CDs, video-games of all eras, sports memorabilia, Pokémon, trading cards, and comics (but of course) are just some of the things I examined today while at ToyMan! Plus, they had special guest Kat Cressida, a well-known voice actress who was excited to meet with fans today! It was as lovely show as always, in other words. I'll break down some of whom I saw and what I got now...

The first level of the showfloor right before it opened to an excited crowd!

I kicked off the show chatting with my friend Spike from Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles. I then had the chance to chat with John Chaffee of Bigfoot Comics and Collectibles about his holiday plans with the family. Tim Metzger was present and had some cool comics to browse--I bought a snazzy one from him about Thrawn (an interesting character in the mythology). Give it a look:

As I proceeded to walk around the show, I saw my chums from Tatertot Comics and Collectibles, as well as the awesome Tri Fox Shoppe (on the upper level). As I continued exploring upstairs I found my good friend Jessica Mathews as well as the incredible folks from Perryville's Heroes for Kids--it was good to catch up with all of them! Back downstairs, I ran into Larry of Bug's Comics and Games and picked up a lovely second printing of the debut issue of, "Absolute Batman," for a superb price. I thank Larry for the rad deal! Here is a pic of it:

This ToyMan show was fantastic, as they always are! I got to browse so much cool stuff, chat with friends, and wish everyone a happy holiday season. I look forward to all the great upcoming ToyMan shows in 2026 and will see everyone at the next one on January 11th!
