I don't own no LAVAs


Yes. The Lava Smash came and went in an instant. As per usual, I noticed the newsletter in my spam mailbox a little too late. Not that I was going to persuade myself to fork out $175 for a production toy. Plus shipping charges, easily $200. But we all know this piece here can easily fetch at least 2 1/2 times in the secondary market.

It's not that much fun nowadays when it comes to collecting Joe's toys. It is just how it has become.

Like thousands of other Joe Ledbetter fans, I do not own a single Lava version of his series of toys. I would give max credit to the Lava Bunny. That was original. In the beginning, I thought it was a very creative colourway.

Subsequently, that thought changed.
