I attended the debut ToyMan Show of the new year, and it was a great first show of 2026! I arrived a bit early and immediately chatted with some of my good friends, including John Chaffee (Bigfoot Comics), Jack Thomas (Fortress Comics), and Tim Metzger. I also had a good chat with Spike Forester (Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles) about our hopes for the new year. As vendors were setting up, I also talked with the good folks of Tatetot Comics and Collectibles, as well as Tom Milister. A number of vendors I hadn't met before were present with tons of toys, comics, DVDs, video-games (lots of games), and it reminded me how, anytime I attend ToyMan, the sheer volume of stuff impresses me.

One vendor I've met a couple of times had some cool business cards, 573 Collectibles. They had a number of comics for great prices. I also saw some of my friends upstairs, including Cayden of Tri Fox Shoppe, who had a lot of cool stuff; plus I got to chat with Lindsay Hornsby, who was showing off her awesome comics and other wares. I snapped a pic:
Heroes for Kids of Perryville was present, and we discussed how busy their schedule for 2026 was--and that they were excited! It was fun wandering between the booths and seeing all the fun wares. I bought two Mr. Potato Head coloring books for the kiddos to enjoy as well, because they were fun and retro. Here they are:
I had a ton of fun at the ToyMan Show; it was a delightful first convention to attend for the year! I'm already pumped for the next one on March 8th and can't wait to see what cool things will be for sale then! As you know, it will be at the Machinist Hall--12365 St. Charles Rock Rd, Bridgeton, MO, 63044. See you there!
