Even though I'm over 2 years late, I was talking about Superior Toy and the family (we were a family there) with a current coworker today and decided to look up Mr. Landsman and his obituary came up. My heart goes out to the Landsman family. I started in the 80's as a temp worker at Superior Toy and was hired as a employee. Mr. Landsman was such a wonderful person to know and work for and always had a smile and a kind word to. To Barry and his nephew Jordan, my prayers are with you all.

Mike was one of the greats. When he bought HG Toys he offered me a fantastic job. Though I did not take it and went out on my own we did many projects together and he was always a man of his word and being with him always brought smiles and laughs to all. He will be missed by all his friends in the Toy Industry. Godspeed Mike- Mark Nuccio

I want to send my condolences to his wife and the entire Landsman Family. The last time I talk to Mr. Landsman was in 2021 to see how he was doing and he told me that he and the family was doing great. I will miss him very much. Rest in peace my dear friend I hope to see you in paradise.

I just found out. I´m so thankful to have known Mike, he was a very caring and humble person. He always saw the big picture and mad everyone around him smile.

As an electric football enthusiast, Mike and DeLayne literally saved our hobby. He introduced us to lifelong friends and took the game from solitaire to social.

My heart is so heavy. Mike was truly an inspiration for all of us and will forever be the commissioner of electric football.

Rest In Peace my friend.

We always enjoyed being with Michael, laughing and talking and sharing experiences. Our trip to Cuba was a delight, with Michael enjoying everything we did. His smile and pleasure was constant and we will miss him.
