In today’s episode of Toy Federation, we dive deep into a fascinating trade deal that starts with some $10 action figures we couldn’t sell for ages… and turns into a negotiation over rare international collectibles, unique Filmation Ghostbusters pieces, and even a Simpsons comic signed by artist Bill Morrison.

What started as a casual day in the shop turned into a goldmine of toy history, collector stories, and unexpected finds. From X-Men movie figures with soft goods and the elusive Professor X movie wheelchair, to Argentina-imported Ghostbusters PVCs from the late 1980s, every piece in this collection comes with its own backstory.

We talk values, trade potential, and why certain pieces—despite looking “cheap”—can fetch surprising prices in the right market. The conversation also covers collecting strategies: how to spot undervalued figures, the importance of unique packaging, and the quirks of international toy production.

This isn’t just about the money—it’s about the stories behind the toys. Whether it’s a figure that finally sells after years on the shelf, or an overseas variant that most collectors have never seen in person, this episode is a reminder that the toy world is full of surprises.

If you’re into vintage toys, rare variants, toy store hauls, and deep dives into collector culture, you’re going to love this one.
