Toy-Ventures Issue 8 PlaidStallions Toy-Ventures magazine is an old school print magazine about vintage toys from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s covering topics and items that don't get the respect they deserve. Each issue will feature collector guides, rare photographs, interviews, and articles by some of the toy experts in the Collector Field. Issue 8 of Toy-Ventures is the first in the new direction for the magazine, with more content, new voices, and the same quality you've come to expect from this print toy magazine: Basement of Horror - Monster toy guru and popular YouTube host is launching his first column with us and man; October is the perfect month for this as we talk about “The Incredible Melting Man.” The Warriors Toybox - We’re elated to have Chance Priest join us for a recurring look at the neat stuff in his toy box.
