Above you see this year’s PopCult video for The Marx Toy Show.  It’s a little shorter than usual because we had some technical issues with some of the footage, but it’s still a fun little look at a wonderful toy show.

The Marx Toy & Train Show, a great collector’s convetion held every year at the The Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum in Wheeling, West Virginia, has become a tradition for PopCult over the last fifteen years or so.  Videography is by your humble blogger, along with Mrs. PopCulteer, Mel Larch. I handled the editing and narration (which was ad-libbed after guzzling enough Chloroseptic to make me sound somewhat normal, so don’t judge it too harshly).

Because of the technical issues we won’t have a “raw footage” video this year, but I think it’s still a fun video souvenir of the show.

As I mentioned, yours truly was able to croak out a bit of narration and you can get a quick look at the toys and people who make The Marx Toy Show such a cool event. You’re going to get another batch of photos below, but with your PopCulteer still under the weather from whatever bug it is that lowered my voice five octaves, I may have to save a few for later in the week. As I write this, it’s almost time to drug myself to sleep.

Check out these fine photos, in the meantime…

Registration time!

We leave you with a really cool Hotel Playset (don’t tell anybody, but it’s not by Marx).

With that your humble blogger is off to medicate himself to sleep. We will bring you another batch of photos from The Marx Toy Show sometime in the next week.
