November 2025 York Toy Show More, I did my final major toy show of the year. This year I went on Saturday instead of Sunday. Also, we will look at some Dollar Store purchases.
November 2025 York Toy Show
I found out that the York Toy Show had early rights on Saturday so I decide to do it that day. The drive was not bad but at time the traffic was heavy. I arrived shortly after the dors opened and went in. My first stop was to see if Kerry Dunable was there. Kerry had missed a few shows due to shoulder surgery. He was there and I was able to get from some Marx items for the list. He also had some copies of Marx character figures. I picked up the Marx Custer in a translucent blue.
Leaving Kerry, I next went to my friend Gerry’s tables. He was not there so I started roaming. I found Gerry in another row. After a very brief conversion, we parted, I noticed a sign. It said Zorro collectibles for sale. Looking over the items, which included a Fossil watch, gloves, and other items, I purchased the lot.

Going around the 800 tables, I found very little else. One item was the space capsule and some Britains Farm pieces. After making some purchases from Gerry, I headed out and decided to forego coming back Sunday.
Dollar Store Purchases
I stopped at my local dollar store and found some interesting items to pick up. The first was this GI Joe figure of Duke.

The figure is 54mm and I can see being using in various situations. Some people will not like the tall base. They did three different GI Joe figures besides Harry Potter.

The other items that I picked up were these Three-inch action figures. Not related to any major show, I found them interesting.



Paul, I’m pretty sure that capsule is from a Mattel Verti-bird flying helicopter set. I had one in the 1970s.
I think you’re right! The loop on the top is a dead giveaway! My brother and I got the Mattel Verti-Bird flying helicopter set for Christmas when I was about ten–we had lots of fun with it!
The capsule is by Marx. Another photo I will put tomorrow.
Geppert sells resin recasts of the Custer figure but probably not in blue…
The space capsule looks like one on eBay as part of a Marx Carry-All playset.
