Kotobukiya had some awesome upcoming statues for collectors, that they displayed at Toy Fair 2018. Here a few of my favorites:

As a horror fan, these upcoming Bishoujo (statues that showcase sexy, female versions of modern horror icons) were jaw-droppingly cool and beautiuful:
And, coming soon sexy Pinhead! 

If you like your horror characters looking more traditional and less sexy, this amazing Freddy will surely please you!

Genre fans into horror games check out these Resident Evil statues:

My fellow Star Wars take heed of these amazing statues!!!

Mezco Toyz keeps on killing in it the toy collector department. And, this year at Toy Fair 2018, was no different. Here are just some of my favorite upcoming releases from them.

Fellow Marvel fans will have a lot to look forward to including, but not limited to these following sweet figures:
 Based on the Netflix Marvel series, fans can get these TV accurate Daredevil and Punisher!
 What a badass Blade figure!

DC fans will love this kick ass Batman Beyond figure!

Of course, we horror fans have A LOT to rejoice over as well! These are among some of the coolest figures I saw at the entire show!
 Based on his look in "Friday the 13th Part 3", THE definitive Jason Voorhees figure!
 Preorders for Michael Myers are all filled up, so if you missed this awesome dude, you're SOL, unless you want to pay the collector's market fee, of course...

The last figure I wanna show you guys is this John Wick one, which is definitely top of my list to get!

My Saturday NYCC 2017 Punisher Cosplay

  1:15 PM            No comments
As long promised, here are the pics of me as Punisher, all with other cosplayers, at last year's New York Comic Con. I did this particular cosplay on Saturday. It marked my second time at Comic Con in this cosplay, which I have also done at other cons and events. By now, he is second nature to me but is always a blast to pull off. Above you can see me with two of Marvel's other New York City crime fighters, Daredevil and Spider-Man! Kingpin and the other baddies better watch their asses!
I next teamed up with my fellow NetFlix heroes, Iron Fist, doggy Luke Cage, and Daredevil! These guys were really cool and did some great cosplaying. I freaking loved the fact that the dude doing Iron Fist dressed his way too cute Pomeranian as Luke Cage. You can see a better pic of them directly, below:

 This gorgeous cosplayer did a truly excellent and sexy Catwoman cosplay!
The crossover of the year! "Punisher Vs. Aliens!" Actually, this would be awesome if it actually happened. Marvel and Darkhorse need to make this a comic-book reality!

Finding and posing with others doing Punisher cosplays is always. Especially when they are as truly amazing as the following two:

My friend Nelson D. Martinez did a gun toting vigilante cosplay of his own in DC's the Red Hood. He looked awesome and badass as fuck! Below you will see us with some other kick ass DC cosplayers:

Spider-Gwen and I ready to team-up and take down some bad guys! Awesome cosplay, by her, by the way!

As always, I had a blast being my favorite comic-book hero. I shall be bringing him back later this year for NYCC and maybe some other cons. We shall see. Until then, this concludes my coverage of last year's NYCC. Did any of you attend? Are you any of the cosplayers featured in this or any of the pics in links below? If so please leave a comment and let us know.

NYCC 2016- Sat- My 1st Ever Con Cosplay: The Punisher, Part 1

  1:13 PM            No comments
This is a little different from my usual convention reporting, as it has me being the main focus of it, of sorts. On Saturday, the third and biggest day of NYCC, I did my first ever cosplay at a convention. While, I had worn store bought costumes or masks at Oct Chillers, I had never walked around in cosplay, during the day at a convention, before this. While I didn't make any of it, I did scour the internet looking for all the pieces. The original reason being a friend was having a Marvel wedding where one had to choose a Marvel character to dress up as. Everyone had to be a different one, so naturally I did my favorite comic-book hero of all, Frank Castle, the Punisher!
At comic con, Negative Pop took a bunch of pics of me as Punisher. They began with the above and below pics of just me, and then moved on to pics of me with others. There is a shit ton of them, and I wanna share as many of them as I can. Here is the first part of them. I also conducted interviews with fellow cosplayers, but that video is still to come, just stay tuned!
Despite what this site may lead you to believe I am actually very shy, but being in cosplay made me feel great. I was flattered and surprised that people wanted to take pics of me or with me! I had so much fun, that despite being exhausted on this day, I enjoyed the hell out of it. The attention was flattering and getting to be my fav hero, a true badass, was quite the experience.

With his popularity at all time high, thanks to his amazing appearance on Daredevil's excellent second season, there was more Punisher cosplay than ever. I got a pic with two of them, at the show. There was even a Punisher Facebook group called Punisher: The Original Anti-Hero taking pics of all us Franks for their group page. All this Punisher love made me feel very happy!
 
Above is me with two of my favorite Punishers at NYCC 2016.
The first criminal scum that I encountered was NYC's crime boss, a long time foe of mine and other street based crime-fighters in New York: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin! This guy looked AWESOME as the Kingpin. He really bought him to life. Later on Daredevil, based on an early look of him in the early part of the first season, lent me a hand. If there is anyone who knows Fisk, better than me, it is he!
The Silver Surfer is in the background, but he clearly has bigger things on his mind than street crime!
Daredevil and I don't see eye to eye (so to speak) on how to deal with crime, but when need be, we put our differences to rest for the greater good!
 I may only be human, but I'll still take on Loki. Though I gotta ask where the fuck are Avengers?!
 I did run into the Black Widow, but that was earlier in the day.
Later in the day, I ran into two beautiful Elektras! This is perfectly fine by me. Apparently, Jack Skellington is also fine with this. He just better hope Sally doesn't get jealous when she sees him checking these two lovely ladies out!

I did run into Spider-Man at the convention. He and I never agree with my methods, but oddly enough we have worked together countless of times. Shit, the first costumed hero I ever encountered was he (The Amazing Spider-Man #129 [cover-dated Feb. 1974]), when that scumbag the Jackal tricked me into thinking old Web-Head was a criminal. Anyways, on this day we protected NYCC from the scum of New York!  
In all seriousness, this incredible Spidey was my good friend Nelson D. Martinez. I am gonna say this right here. He is one of the best Spider-Men I have ever seen, if not the best. And, no I am not biased. I mean it. Come on, look how awesome he looks in the costume and how good he poses. Joining us was Ariel as a Venomizied Spider-Gwen!

Later in the day, I encountered some A.I.M. troopers. I had to deal with them. And, had I seen that freak, and their leader, M.O.D.O.K. I would've dealt with him, too!
 
Time to fight crime with the help of Deadpool and Wolverine clones, Daredevil, and the mighty Photobomb Dude!

The greatest crime fighting trio in Marvel history that never was! The lovely Shadowcat, Lockheed, and, me, the Punisher (below)! Yo, Marvel how's about making this a miniseries! In all seriousness, it would be a really fun title with two characters working together that couldn't be more different.

The beautiful Elsa from Frozen has turned to the Dark Side and become a Sith Lord! I'll have to put an end to her! Once again, this is one of the most awesome cosplays by one of the most awesome cosplayers at comic con!

Sorry, Batman, but when the Punisher enters Gotham City (through some weird dimensional portal), he gets all the lovely ladies of Gotham City. Maybe they're criminals, but let's ignore that for a moment! This was actually the last shot of me of the day, but it's a perfect way to end this part of this write-up, wouldn't you say? As these three ladies are absolutely stunning! Stay tuned for more punishing cosplay moments!
