Anyone remember this guy/his company from mid 1990s or so.
His name was John Diccico and ran "John's Toys" out of Massachussetts I believe. I think he even ran/runs Boston Super mega fest in MA.
He had a pretty good company for buying Hasbro figures in mid 1990s but I think he primarily did other toys but was still a great, lower priced option for getting MOC Hasbros. He even had a small supply of Vince McMahon carded LJNs.
I think he was one of the fewer toy companies that was selling figures at lower costs than the normal dealers. You'd have companies that jacked up the prices of carded figures but John usually were around $15-25 range with a few rarer ones slightly more money.
I wonder if he's still selling toys?

I definitely remember him & dealing with him all those years ago. I could swear I used to have his old catalog but lost it over the years.
This is where I ordered my MOC WWF Hasbro 1-2-3 Kid from for $30 at the time. I specifically recall when I did order it, it was out of stock and he told me himself I could get a refund or just wait until he came back in stock.
Without hesitation, I told him I would wait and thankfully I did because there isn't anywhere in the world where you can get it for $30 now.
I still have it to this day and it's staying in my collection.
I believe I may have ordered other figures from him as well but my memory of ordering The 1-2-3 Kid figure stands out the most.
Never had any bad dealings with him. Always good!! 😊
