I am back from a much-needed vacation! While I was gone, issue 6 of Toy-Ventures magazine was released. Toy-Ventures is published by Brian Heiler of Plaid Stallions website fame.

Long-time readers of the Mercheum Blog will know that the Plaid Stallions website was one of the inspirations for the creation of the Harvey Mercheum website. And while I was not able to contribute to Brian’s Rack Toys book, I did write an article about the Dimensions for Children figures for Toy-Ventures. Unfortunately, some of the text I wrote got cut when the magazine was printed, so Brian released the text page as a free PDF download:

I still recommend buying the full issue, as well as the first five issues of the magazine, because the print quality, the quality of the photos, and the information contained in the articles are just amazing. I am very proud to be part of such a publication, and hope it runs for many more issues!
