2021 Marx Toy Convention in Photos
June 24, 2021 by Rudy PanucciOkay, first…yes there will be video, but not until Sunday. The weekend storms that prevented yours truly from making new radio shows this week also messed up my video software (I use the same program for both) and I need to reinstall some stuff from backups before I can edit video again. That’ll take me a few hours, but everything should be up and running in plenty of time for me to have TWO Marx-centric videos for you Sunday.
The Marx Toy Convention took place last Friday and Saturday at The Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum in Wheeling, and it was great seeing some friends that we hadn’t seen since 2019 (plus a bunch that we saw a year ago, but we don’t talk about that).
In this photo essay we’re going to take a quick look at the convention in about 35 pictures. These were either taken by yours truly, or by Mrs. PopCulteer, Mel Larch. That photo of me with Dave Roth was swiped from Dave on Facebook, but Mel made me crop her out because she still hates to be photographed.

That paranthetical aside is some topical West Virginia humor, for those readers from out of state.
Anyway, this is not the last of our Marx coverage by any means. I will also be posting a photo essay from the Friday evening private sale at the now-closed Marx Toy Museum, and at some point I’ll be bringing you some images of cool new stuff at The Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum. They took advantage of the lockdown to redo huge portions of the Museum and everything is all freshened up and cooler than ever.
Anyway, here are the convention photos, with some captions, but not a lot. Just look at the cool stuff and the peoples having funs.
