Who remembers 2019? It's easy to forget how different things were pre-pandemic. From my hobby perspective there's been quite a shift. I used to love toy hunting. I still do of course, but it's lessened now. I had 4 different commuting routes to my office and on any one of them I would pass multiple Walmarts, Targets, Walgreens, etc. But now I have to make an effort to put on pants and sacrifice my primo parking spot to feel that thrill. I also rarely ever preordered toys. But now I have a spreadsheet to keep track of everything. Comic Cons are still fun, but there aren't toy vendors showing off their products anymore. Instead we have product-reveal-live-streams. This new world isn't bad, just different. Looking back at all my toy purchases from 2019 floods me with memories of hunting and socializing with abandon. It was coincidentally a great year for toys. Movie years always inspire products and in 2019 we had Captain Marvel, Endgame, and Shazam. Let's check out the bounty of yesteryear below!
