Kirby

Consider it bringed!

(3" 4 Life)

On the list for my comic shop today. Did not notice until just now.

Did anybody get extra minimates? I've been out of town for a week, and when I checked the mail today, I found the WWC Blank and another Retailer Summit.

My LCS doesn't have it on the list for this week. She's good about getting 'mates, so I do not know what is going on... Diamond's list for this week doesn't have them either.

Infallible - where did you get your info they were coming out?

Kudos to you sir.

I sent my receipt out like a week ago, and got a Retailer Summit last night.

Ninja?

(I just did this for you guys):

GORN!

Baby Gorn.

PM-4-U

SQL is the way and the truth.

Except when trying to work between several different DBMS's - then all the slight syntax differences make on crazy.

Just remember: Ven Diagrams are your friend.

Didn't see it mentioned, but the Imaginext stuff works well too. (Sorry, no pics)

.. partly cos I'm an old romantic at heart!

Hey now! There was no romance involved...

What seems to have been missing, for me, was the number of toy vendors was down. Still lots of comic booths (maybe more even than previously), but the stuff that orbits around comics wasn't well represented.

And the FarScape folks were charging big bucks to pose for pictures (I know lots of guests do that, but the FarScapers weren't last year)

It was good to meet Kirby. Next year I might tag around with his posse a bit, since my scheduled friend for the day was a no-show and I ended up on my own. I wanted to get a picture with Powergirl, but was afraid to approach her without a wingman -- Kirby would have been just the ticket. heh

Yeah, I missed out on getting Feedback autograph because it was $15 for an 8x10. I got a great candid shot of Mary Marvel and Powergirl together

I still need to download the pics and write it all up, but we had a good time.

Cappy, you're totally welcome to join the gang

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how Cappy and I met up...

It was 10:30 and I didn't see Donster and Wife, so I just yelled out "I LOVE MINIMATES" - and Cappy's ears perked up.

I love it when a plan comes together

Any news on the Minimate front? How was the convention?

There was nary a 'mate to be found - just 1 or 2 booths that had anything.

I got to meet Cappy, which was cool. I fogot to ask him to do the happy Cappy dance - maybe next year.

I high-fived Vader, and had Poison Ivy seduce my brother.

It was a good year

ECCC felt really small compared to years past. I don't know if it's just PAX cutting into things, but we went all over and did a lot, and even backtracked a bunch, and were out early. Silly Gooser and Co were missed.

All righty then, let's aim at meeting in the big blank area between concessions and giveaways. (See floor map at http://www.emeraldcitycomicon.com/showfloor.php ) On Saturday at, say 10:30, which gives people time to get in the door and snag some SWAG.

Also, what say any one interested PM me your cell phone number. I'll gather them together and re-PM everyone a compiled list later tonight.

Works for Me

I'm there Saturday as well.

I printed out my Secret Six minimate designs and I'm going to give them to Gail Simone, and hopefully I can get a Feedback drawn up to give him.

I'm all for meeting some of you - I've got a group of 8 I'll be kind-of rolling with (it's too cumbersome to keep a group together, so we're just gonna do our own thing, I think).

I'm hunting autographs from Feedback (hopefully I can snag a DVD of Who Wants To Be A Superhero and get him to sign it), Gail Simone, Frank Cho, Michael Avon Oeming, and Bill Crabtree. Maybe the Farscape peeps too.

I know I swore to my brother that'd I'd refrain from using this expression, but...

I just geeked myself.

It looks great. The line that really made me giggle was about assembling the pirate kings. That sounds so cool.

It's gonna be a hot one

I asked the DCD guys about this at SDCC 2006. They said there were no "chase" figures planned for the line.

For the time being, I see that being the case. DCD had a long tradition of being very equitable in their case-packouts.

However, in the past several years, there have been a number of 'case incentive' variants for retailers. At first they were mostly unannounced - they were a surprise when a retailer would open a case up and find a little something extra.

I wouldn't be surprised if DCD surprises us down the road.

Here they are

I'm lovin' them all.

Good 'ol TNI... breaking NDAs since always

Sweet looking set. Even with all the backwards legs.

edit: Oh yeah, forgot one thing...

BATTLE DAMAGE!

Minimates and Pyrates are really close - only like 1/8" difference. In fact, they have nearly the same size head/torso/groin - the arms and legs on the Pyrates are a little stumpier.

It's been a slow day, so that's all I got.

What's it gonna take to get another wave of Street Fighter minimates? There have been a couple of announcements regarding a new movie, and the speculation about a new game is growing - are we just going to have to wait for these things to occur, or should some bribery and/or corporate sabotage take place?

How do you feel about the J-hooks?

I love my battle-damage. I guess that's not a question. Any liklihood for a super-battle-damaged-sniper-bullet-in-the-back Captain America?

Will you guys ever come up here to the greater Pacific Northwest (just the Washington part) for our Emerald City Comic Con. We have qualities coffees and beers - you can't go wrong!

A couple of years ago, there was some stuff for SDCC with stickers "I'm a Radical, Ask me how." What was the right answer? I got a t-shirt, but I have never really felt closure on the matter.

Thanks Chuck.

I had to resort to the streaming version off AICN (I got it from the Toybuzz) - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31776

Nice preview. Finally got one of my gang to shutup about a certain character appearing in this movie or not. He was going so far as threatening to walk out on the movie and ask for a refund if said character did not show up.

I'm just sad that we may never know what went down at NYCC. It sounds like it should have been a blast... but we'll never know!

I'm trying to check around sites that have some NYCC coverage - Newsarama is a no-go

Just throwing this out there:

The Spirit and P'Gell

Battle Damaged The Spirit and Ebony White

Commissioner Dolan and Dr. Cobra

Thug and Thug

Just a thought
