Pete has been involved in the toys and collectibles industry since the early 1990's. Originally starting in the hobby as just a collector, Pete gradually expanded to be a very well-know vendor and source for many rare and obscure 1980's toy collectibles. While most of his collecting days focused specifically on Star Wars, Pete quickly changed gears and focused more on Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, M.A.S.K., and a few other prominent 1980s toy lines. He hit the ground running early on with these non-Star Wars toy lines when there weren't too many collectors focusing on them.   

Gradually Pete's hobby became a business, and that business has been a major focus of his life for the past 20 years. Back in the early 2000's, Pete owned and operated a website called www.Toysandtoons.com which was a source for numerous high end and obscure toy collectibles. Since then he has moved his focus away from the webiste to running businesses both on eBay and Amazon and still travels to appear at most of the major toy shows and cons. 

With all the years' experience in the hobby and the countless connections Pete has made, he is considered to be very knowledgeable with a large selection of 1980's toy lines with a focus on Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, and M.A.S.K. His working knowledge of these toy lines, both domestic and Foreign has allowed him for years to help educate fellow collectors as to production differences and variations as well as help identify legitimate examples and finely forged reproductions.

Joe Curcio

Joseph “Curch” Curcio is a business owner by day (ice cream!) and a toy aficionado and an avid collector of all things vintage by night. His passion for Kenner Starting Lineups began in 1990 when he started collecting with the sole purpose of gaining the baseball card within each package. Since then, his collection has continued to grow, much to his wife’s dismay. His current collection includes several thousand pieces from major toy manufacturers including Kenner, Hasbro, and Mattel. Joe is also an avid collector of trading cards, including unopened packs and boxes.

Although difficult to pinpoint one specific toy line as his favorite, Curch is best known for his impressive Starting Lineup collection and his unparalleled knowledge of figure variants and Kenner trivia.

In pursuit of his passion for the hobby he has founded the Kenner Starting Lineup Group on Facebook, which to date, has surpassed two thousand active members. He has been featured in online articles with Men’s Health Magazine, mademan.com, kennercollector.com, an in-print article with Beckett Monthly Magazine and featured on the show NFL Films Presents.
