Ryan and Tony at Toylanta 2024 | Toy Federation x Knowhere Toys | Vintage Toy Show Highlights
Welcome back to the Toy Federation YouTube channel! In this exciting video, join Ryan from Toy Federation and Tony from Knowhere Toys as they take you on an exclusive journey through Toylanta 2024, the annual vintage toy show held in Atlanta. This event is a paradise for toy enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with a love for vintage treasures.
The History of Toylanta
Toylanta, formerly known as Joelanta, started in 2000 as a modest gathering for GI Joe collectors. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the premier vintage toy conventions in the United States, attracting fans from all over the globe. Renamed Toylanta to reflect its broader focus on various toy lines, the event now spans an entire weekend, featuring a bustling marketplace, panels, cosplay contests, and exclusive previews. Toylanta is not just a convention; it’s a celebration of nostalgia, creativity, and community, bringing together people who share a passion for toys from all eras.
Ryan and Tony’s Booth Highlights
In this year’s edition, Ryan and Tony have outdone themselves with an incredible booth filled with rare and soughtafter items. Let's dive into some of the standout pieces you'll see in our video:
Kenner Indiana Jones Well of Souls Playset
One of the highlights at their booth is the legendary Kenner Indiana Jones Well of Souls playset. Released in 1982, this playset captures the thrilling moment from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where Indiana Jones retrieves the Ark of the Covenant. The set includes a variety of accessories, such as snakes, the Ark, and a detailed backdrop. It’s a beloved piece among Indiana Jones fans and toy collectors for its intricate design and playability. The Well of Souls playset has become increasingly rare over the years, making it a prized possession for any collection.
Transformers Toys
Another major attraction at their booth is the range of Transformers toys. From Generation 1 classics to more recent releases, Ryan and Tony have a selection that will make any Transformers fan’s heart skip a beat. Among these is the original Optimus Prime, Megatron, and the Dinobots. These iconic figures not only defined a generation but also remain timeless pieces of toy engineering and design. Transformers, with their ability to change from vehicle to robot, revolutionized the toy industry and continue to be a staple in the world of collectibles.
Super Powers Collection Iceman
Collectors know that some figures from the Super Powers Collection are harder to find than others. The Iceman figure is one of these rarities. Produced by Kenner in the mid1980s, the Super Powers Collection was a line of action figures based on DC Comics characters. The Iceman figure, in particular, stands out due to its limited production and distribution. Featuring excellent articulation and a design that closely resembles its comic book counterpart, Iceman is a musthave for any serious DC toy collector. Discovering one in mint condition, especially with its original packaging, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Why Toylanta is a MustVisit
Toylanta isn’t just about the toys; it’s about the people and the experiences. The convention offers a unique opportunity to meet fellow collectors, share stories, and discover the rich history behind each toy. Panels and discussions with industry experts provide valuable insights into the world of toy collecting. Cosplayers bring beloved characters to life, adding a vibrant atmosphere to the event. Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the hobby, Toylanta has something for everyone.
