First 2026 Toy Show of the Year, I had planned to do a show in New Jersey, but decided against it for various reasons. I’m glad I did, as parking was bad. It was so bad that they had to call the police because some people were fighting over a space. Also, I was told there was nothing there. I was able to confirm this through a video of the show. I spotted only some Marx Super Circus Character figures and some six-inch Gold Marx.
First 2026 Toy Show: The Report
I decided to do a small show that is about 30 miles away. The show is mostly diecast and action figures, but you never know what you can find. I got to the show and saw that there were no outside dealers due to cold temperatures. Entering the show, I saw very few figures, only some overpriced Britains Detail and Timmee army. I went looking for other items. I found this cute figure for $.50. Not having any change, I added two dinosaurs for a dollar.

Another dealer had some of the Mattel 45mm figures that I found in a Dollar Tree. He had them three for $5.00. I usually can’ ‘t find the ones he had. Here are two of the four superheroes I got: Black Adam and Aquaman.

The dealer also had Fiona from Shrek and Roz from Monster Inc.
At another dealer, he had a large Lido knight horse that I purchased. Glancing to the left, I noticed some bendy figures. In the middle of the group was this ape figure. I realized that it was King Kong from the cartoon show. I picked him up.
Final Purchases
One dealer had some Elastolin ethnic figures, including Bavarian Forest. I believe these composition figures were done after the war.
The dealer also had some Rin Tin Tin vacuum totem poles, which I picked up. Satisfy with my purchases, I headed home.
First 2026 Toy Show Marx Wild West Site is Back

Billy Hill has reported that the Marx Wild West site is back. You can see it here.




And I’m glad the Marx site is up. It would be great if families could keep these sites up as they are the only history of toy soldiers and toys available for reference.
Kent Spretcher’s site should be helped as well.Same stadstuff site .
The last generation and future depend on them. Otherwise, all information sources will be lost forever.
Nice / interesting Totem Pole !
