Alright,
Welcome back to That Kitsch Itch the official blog for www.kitschitchtoys.webs.com the
UK’s home for retro and vintage toys. Check us out on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/kitschitchtoys)
or on YouTube (www.youtube.com/woolicane),
plenty of different things to look at, get involved in, buy and so much more
still to come.
Okay this is going up very late I know, and I guess you
might have worked out my excuse from the title of this blog. Yeah, I may have
had a little too much to drink last night, but it shouldn’t be an excuse
really. It was a friend of mine’s last night running a pub I go to, drinks went
down to a pound a pint, yeah, that’s a good reason to drink something that’s
usually £3.50, so that’s my excuse for now.
What I really want to do right now though is give a little
bit of a preview, as Kitsch Itch Toys will be in York this Sunday for the York
Comic Con. I must admit I’m looking forward to it, especially if I get my hands
on the shelves I’m supposed to have by now, but that’s a rant for another time.
Either way, I’m going to be a lot more organised then I have been at any of
these events before, there are meant to be over a thousand people there, so I’m
thinking a bit more organisation is in order. This does mean a lot of stuff
needs to be showcased. It’s going to feature play sets including Cat’s Lair,
the Tower of Omens, the as yet not talked about Bat Cave from Batman Forever, I
really need to record my review of that before we get to the Comic Con, I
really want to talk about it before it gets sold. We’ll be showcasing a load of
boxed toys mixing Marvel Legends, Disney Winkeez, Power Rangers, Thundercats
and Doctor Who. Thinking about it, that’s more boxed stuff then I was expecting
to have in stock at this point. There will also be some bargain priced mini
figures and blind bags for the more price conscious customers, along with the
cheap loose figures that aren’t as collectable as others. I’m not going to
focus too much on the action vehicles this time, there will be some, such as
the Shell Raiser van from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but they take up so
much room both on the table and in the car that they won’t be the main focus.
We will bring plenty of the loose figures, letting people stock up on those
missing from their collection or nostalgic favourites they don’t have from
Masters of the Universe, Ghostbusters, X-Men, and all those other properties
listed above. I might even bring out the MASK toys.
So that all seems exciting to me. Maybe I’ll give a review
on here about what happened, if it’s a good event expect me to be praising it,
if it’s a disaster I might not mention it at all. Other than that I’d like to
mention my Top 10 series which continues this Friday as we begin to countdown
to the return of Doctor Who next month with my top 10 Doctor/Companion
pairings, crossing all versions of Doctor Who. Which pretty much leads us to
the end of this week’s slightly overhung and late addition of this blog, next
week should be a bit more cohesive. Until then…
