ToyFare #148

TOY148CvrTwilight

I forgot to mention this last week–I wrote the cover story for this month’s issue of ToyFare. Yes, I ventured into the world of both Twilight and dolls, and escaped with my masculinity intact.

In all seriousness, it was a lot of fun. The issue also features an awesome Inhumanoids retrospective by ’80s toy guru and occasional Poester Ben Leach.

ToyFare #148 is available in comic shops now and will hit newsstands next week.

Paul’s Peg > I Own a Dolly

I never thought I’d say this, but I own a doll just like a little girl. Yeah, I know the whole “action figures” are really dolls business jerks throw at toy collectors, but this time I’ve really gone and done it. I bought a doll and I lay the blame on Tonner Dolls who were at this year’s Chicago Comic Con. If they hadn’t of been there, I’d still be happily doll free.
