Jordan Hembrough of Toy Hunter will be at the Emerald City Comicon. Comicon runs from March 1 to 3. If anyone goes let us know if you met Jordan and and what goes on.
Here is the offical posting.
Emerald City Comicon will be hunted…..for toys!
That’s right, self-professed comic book geek, film buff, and host of Travel Channel’s Toy Hunter, Jordan Hembrough, is coming to Seattle! And he’s bringing his television show with him!
Jordan and his Toy Hunter crew will be appearing at their booth all weekend long and filming an episode of Toy Hunter during their stay.
Whether you are a casual or expert toy collector, here is your chance to potentially have Jordan feature you and pieces from your collection on his hit TV series!
So grab your favorite items and come say howdy to Jordan. And make sure to smile for the cameras!
I found the strangest figure in a mixed lot. He’s a soft plastic cowboy in the 54mm range, he’s gray/light black, fairly flexible with movable arms ala Ausley , he has a pistol in each hand and he’s wearing what appears to be a buckskin type shirt. I’m going to try and get a picture tomorrow and send him off to determine if anyone can identify him. He came with a few other cowboys who were conversions of Marx 54mm cowboys/miners, we could identify which parts were used for the conversions, this guy could be a conversion too, but we can’t identify any of the parts. I love weird figures.
I find Jordan’s persona hard to take. I have no idea where he came from…I’ve done toy shows, Chiller, etc, for decades and don’t remember him at all. His assistant, Steve, I know- he’s been around for a long time, he’s the real deal (except he dyed the hair he has left for the show!) But bubbly, pushy Jordan- never saw him around before his show.
Hi Sean
You are not the only one wondering where Jordan came from. Another party has told me that they have never seen him at shows or flea markets etc in their area. Doing research on Jordan, I found he worked for Starlog in their franchise divison when they were setting up their Starlog stores. Jordan bought the Starlog store in Ridgewood New Jersey in 1995 and turned it into Hollywood Heroes. Jordan sat in his shop and very likely had items come to him.
Steve I agree he is the real deal. I have talked to him twice and like him.
