This week in The PopCult Toybox we are going back to the well once more for part three of our photo essay devoted to Where The Toys Are, a very cool antique toy shop in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania that we visited week before last. Today it’s all about robots, space toys, aliens, superheroes, planes and trucks.
You can see part one of our photo essay, which focused on Captain Action and Major Matt Mason, here. Part two looked at Barbie, Western-themed toys and girl’s toys. I want to thank Phil McEntee once again for letting us loiter in his store and take pictures. Just about everything in these photo essays is for sale, and you can contact Phil through his website.
Next week’s PopCult Toybox will venture into the world of knockoff toys.
