New site and a storefront in Chicago!

In case you're going to this site via the blogger link instead of the site's url you would probably think that we'd stop posting - but that's not the case! Tons of exciting stuff going on and that includes a new site at www.toydejour.com as well as the fact that we're opening a vintage toy shop in Chicago!

We have an Indiegogo campaign running right now that if you're so inclined, we'd love the help on. Be sure to stop by the store when we open in March 2014 and watch the new site where we'll be adding reviews and such there!

-S & L!

Remco Sgt. Rock figures - Toy de Jour #287

I had a few of these when I was little - I loved the two weird pockets in the back of the figures but I could never figure out exactly what to use them for. I got these two figures out of a dollar bin at the Kane County show last year in April, I really don't mind picking up other 3 & 3/4" figures when they're that cheap.
These guys are usually mistaken for just G.I. Joe knock-offs (admittedly by me as well) and I had to do some fancy googlin' to figure out what they were before posting this.

Fancy googlin' means searching at least two different things and relying on image results instead of reading all those boring words.
