My husband is a self-described nerd and, with a Master’s in Popular Culture from Bowling Green State University, he’s especially into the cultural significance of toys. (Or so he says… I think he just wants an excuse to buy our kids vintage action figures…) He’s especially into Kenner, a now-retired toy company founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a resume that includes several highly recognizable toys and merch from the original “Star Wars,” “Jurassic Park,” and “Batman” franchises. For him, nothing beats a day perusing a vintage toy store, and there’s one in particular he could happily spend hours browsing. In Fairfield, Ohio, The Toy Department is known for its extensive selection of toys and collectibles, all affordably priced so toy lovers of all ages can buy, collect, and play to their heart’s content.
