Comic Toys Net

This site is meant to be an entrance point for fans and dealers of Comic Toys. We are focussing on older toys (i.e. at least 20 years old), but include collectors and dealers of other old toys as well; Most specialist dealers also place old toys on their site next to the Comic Toys.

 

Newsflash!

Find us on our new site! => Comic Toys Info

In the past months, we develloped a more community like site for comic character fans, collectors and dealers. The new site contains all (checked!) links from this site, but also has a forum to discuss comic toys and a picture gallery for vintage comic character toys!

Want to see all checked links on one page now? Click here for the links!
