My Visit To Mr. Puppet’s Toy Collection

bob abdou toy collection 094

I had the great pleasure of being invited by Bob Abdou aka Mr. Puppet to go to his home and see his extensive toy collection. This for me has been the highlight of coming to the Vent Haven ConVENTion this year.

I can honestly say that Bob is the consummate collector and like me has taken the time to display his collection so that all the items are placed with great care to give each item visibility. They are all in grouping such as, Soupy Sales, Batman, Flintstones, Howdy Doody, Superman ect ect ect.

The collection is based on character from the 1950’s through the 1980’s and if I am not mistaken Bob said the collection has over 4000 items.

His ventriloquist figure collection is also rather large and it even has some figures that remembered me. LOL

Bob Thanks for showing me your fantastic collection.
