Presenting the greatest toy catalogue to ever see print: the 1990 Benelux! Heard of it? No? Well you are in for a treat. Honestly this thing is incredible. So incredible, GI Joburg is bringing backup in the form of Chief and Ben from Talking Joe!
Okay, we admit, this perhaps isn't going to make the best radio, we're discussing gorgeous vintage toy photography, so if you have the option, why not check out the YouTube vid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UXCKLHLu5I
Special thanks to Paul Panfalone of Plastic Battles, who tackled this remarkable tome of toy photography on Plastic Battles Radio, so if you're hunting for more content on the subject, be sure to check his RSS feed on Podbean! And if you're looking for his excellent scans of the catalogue, you'll find them here: https://www.plasticbattles.net/1990-gi-joe-benelux-catalog
