Take a Peek Inside ... The Vintage Toy Box!

There are a few childhood loves that I never quite grew out of and toys are one of those things. Truth be told, I still find myself buying action figures and sometimes even catch myself playing with them. I also find myself spending many a quiet night alone browsing through pages upon pages of vintage toys on eBay. There's just something about the toys of yesteryear that tickle my fancy, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that horror movies got a lot of toybox love back in the day. In any event, I find a lot of cool shit in my travels and i've decided to start documenting those travels right here on Freddy In Space by showcasing the coolest of the cool toys and other vintage knick knacks that I find along the way. Consider this episode one of many more to come!
