The March 2026 ToyMan Was a Delight!

Today's ToyMan Show was another highly enjoyable event. Whenever people ask me, "What show do I go to if I want to be impressed by the sheer amount of stuff for sale?" I always tell them, if you want a variety of neat items (and plenty of them), go to ToyMan. If you can't find a comic, toy, trading card, movie, or such at ToyMan, you probably didn't look hard enough or ask the right person, because it is most likely somewhere there, or a vendor will be able to tell you how they can get it for you! I truly appreciate the mental game of Tetris that the showrunner, Chris McQuillen, must play to make sure all the vendors have space and attendees can walk around without being crowded, because he strikes the perfect balance of rad stuff for sale, but also having a wide enough aisle you don't suffocate in a crowd. Let's discuss who/what I saw at the show, though!

I kicked off the event by chatting with an assortment of great folks. I saw Spike from Lost in Space Toys and Collectibles, caught up with Tim Metzger, and ran into Jack of Fortress Comics. The cool people from Tatertot's shop were present, and I saw some cool items for sale from 573 Collectibles. I also had a chance to cut some deals with John from Bigfoot Comics, which is how I acquired this fun, "Guardians of the Galaxy," comic featuring an early appearance of when Angela went from Image Comics to Marvel (it was a whole mess of legal rights that eventually were resolved and saw her character's IP sold to Marvel). Here it is:

In the upstairs area, I was overjoyed to see such cool cats as Jessica Mathews, my chum Lindsay Hornsby, and Cayd of Tri Fox Shoppe, who told me they've started doing Twitch streams to show off their artwork! Heroes for Kids was present raising funds too, and talented author Jacqueline James, whom I've bought books from before, told me about another cool new one coming soon! Plus, the guest talent, Eddie Deezen (actor and voice actor), was chatting with fans and signing autographs too! There were clearly a lot of fun activities going on. I love going to the ToyMan Show and eagerly await the next one on May 3rd. There is always something new to see (or multiple new and cool things). Be sure to mark your calendars so you don't forget to attend!
