The October issue of Toy Collector Magazine is now ready to view or download online, free of charge, at www.toycollectormagazine.com. This month’s full-color, 76-page issue is packed with great articles, including a timely cover story on Halloween toys, with a visit to the Halloween Queen. Continuing in the same vein, you won’t want to miss Arnold Blumberg’s terrific piece on Nightmare Before Christmas collectibles.

Read about Felix the Cat, who, at age 88, is still everybody’s favorite feline. Follow the 50-year path of Disney’s Zorro, then take a spin around the track with our feature on the resurgence of interest in slot cars. Then learn how your image can be made into an action figure, complete with props that reflect your profession, hobbies or other interests.

Other articles include a story on Mego toys and the new book on the subject, and top toy train auctioneer Ted Maurer and his auctioneer daughter, Kathy. And there’s much more to read, including auction results and tips on toy sales that are just around the corner.
