As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. No, wait, that’s not right. Sorry, start over. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been collecting. Without even knowing it, I had the gene. I kept my vinyl record albums and singles lined up straight, in the order I bought them in, with each artist grouped together. I’d play with my toys, then put them back in their respective cases or boxes when done with them. And I kept movie and football gum cards in a tin I kept on the dresser, in numbered order, and even kept my movie ticket stubs from all the films I went to in there as well. This was when I was about nine, so what hope did I have of escaping this as an adult?

There is a place more terrifying than the Bermuda Triangle, more mysterious than the pyramids of Egypt, and more baffling than the crowd at a Michael Jackson memorial tribute. This place has plagued generations of toy lovers, and continues to be an ongoing, though not often explored, conundrum in all of our pasts. I’m speaking, of course, about the Portal of Lost Toys. That mystical place where so many toys have gone, never to be heard from again, leaving broken hearts all over the world.

In case you weren’t already hip to it, I’m going to let you in on a little fact that all humans and pets should be well aware of at this point in our evolutions: Halloween is the best holiday of the year. Period. Oh, and also, for those still in the dark, Oswald didn’t kill Kennedy, Adam and Eve didn’t cavort with dinosaurs, you can’t get pregnant from using the same toilet seat, and the light does indeed go off when you close the refrigerator door. But why am I telling you this on the Action Figure Insider ‘Men of Action’ blog? Well, because for me, Halloween has several significant memory triggers, and as always, they’ll come back to toys.

Any geek worth their salt has had the same age old conversations: who’d win in a fight between Superman and Captain Marvel? Is Godzilla bad or just misguided? When is ‘Ten Speed and Brown Shoe’ going to get a DVD release? And what if the ‘Star Wars’ prequels had been any good? But the one that comes up all the time when you have your own toy company is, “Oh, you should do toys from….”, or, “Have they done action figures of…” or even better, “Oooo! You should make dolls from that movie.…”. Oh, if only it were that simple.
