The annual Comic Convention has arrived. I picked up my badges last night. For those of you who do not know what the comic con is...well it's the largest pop culture gathering there is. over 130,000 people attend over a four day period. Theres everything from Movie s being launched to the latest toys being shown. Almost like a West Coast Toy Fair meets the Sundance Film Festival (with a few comic books thrown in). Hollywood uses this convention as a launching pad for their upcoming movies. for us 1:6 scale junkies, they have ECHOBASE TOYS, Sideshow Collectibles, BBI, Merit International and all the big boys who might possibly have some 12 inch figures coming out. HASBRO, MATTEL, MEZCO they will all be there as well.
Today will be my sons first time attending (as the Green Lantern) and my 7 year old daughters 4th time (this seasoned veteran will be Wonder Woman). I will be there Thurs - Sat and I know I will be beat after today. My feet hurt thinking about all the walking I will be doing. as usual One Shot will have his camera in hand. I'll keep you posted on the wonderful 1:6th items I come across.

I think El Paso Trooper will be flying in from Texas, I think he mentioned that to me when I talked with him at the Weekend of Heroes Show a few weeks back. Anybody else coming?
