COLLECTABLE SPECTACLE “Mark Bellomo” 18 of 18
Collectable Spectacle is an eighteen part documentary series about toy and comic collector Mark Bellomo. Mark is the author of many Toy Collectible Guides ( The Ultimate Guide to GIJOE 1982-1994, Transformers Identification and Price Guide) and has amassed an immense toy and comic collection over the last several decades. His knowledge of nearly every toy line introduced to store shelves over the last 30 years is amazing. I met Mark through the www.yojoe.com forums and decided to fly across the continent to film him as he prepared to photograph toys for his 2nd edition of The Ultimate Guide to GIJOE. What followed was five intense days of toys, toys, and more toys. I hope the inner child in anyone watching these 18 episodes can feel young again. This was a non-profit documentary series made for the toy fan community. All travel and equipment expenses were paid out of pocket by me. If anyone enjoys these videos and would like to offer a small gratuity “thank you” for all the work put into it, please feel free to Paypal any donation to flophousefilms@shaw.ca I appreciate any support, it could lead to future series like this. Enjoy. Episode Breakdown: Episode 1 – Mark visits his two favorite comic and collectible haunts where he talks shop with the owners. Episodes 2-6 – Mark and I visit one of his storage lockers and spend hours reliving Christmas morning with every new box opening. Star Wars, He Man, Transformers, Justice League, Smurfs, theyre all there. Episode 7 Mark …

THANK YOU! Now I am glad I don’t have as much money or as big as a collection as I’ve always dreamed of having.
As you’ve conveyed to us, there is a point where things can become unmanagable
and you can get totally “Cinnabonned”. I had three Cinnabons one day at the mall (I was STARVING) and I haven’t touched one since (14 years counting….).

It seems like Mark collects for the love of the toys and doesn’t do it in the hopes of making money on his collection. I think that’s why his writing is so good. He brings a lot of info and his passion for collecting shows in his writing.
