NYCC 2024: Thursday- Toys, Cosplay, and the Return of Logan!

 

Last month, October 17-20, 2024 marked the latest edition of New York Comic Con. This time around I was there all four days, doing cosplay and having a great time. For the first day, on Thursday, I bought back one of my older cosplays, Logan! After the excellent Deadpool and Wolverine, I immediately felt like it was time to cosplay as him once again.

The Godzilla booth might have been my favorite booth in the entire con. It was too expensive for my pockets but still cool as hell to look at the toys and more in it.

Another booth that was awesome as hell was, of course, NECA. As expected they had some great toys on display for horror fans, metalheads, and geeks.

Right next to them were there sister brand, Kid Robot, of course. They had more stuff for horror fans and geeks to flip out over.

Jada Toys has become another one of my favorite toy manufactures. And, as such I loved looking at their booth, as well.

Of course, there was lots of cosplays to behold, and following are some of my favorites, of this day:

Of course, I also joined in on the fun, as Logan. I really had a great time cosplaying as him once again, even more than the last time that I did. And, felt so complemented by people who praised the way I looked.

While, I signed up for a couple of panels, I could only attend one: Rick and Morty. It was really fun and great to hear the cast and crew talking about the many aspects of this awesome show. And, we learned that we will have many more seasons to look forward to, at least till 12, if not more! Hell yeah!

Here is the swag that I bought that day:
Master of the Universe Funko Pop: Kobra Khan (only $5!)
TeeTurtle (at one of their booths) convention exclusive T-shirt: Coffee makes me less murdery. 
Handmade By Robots (at their booth) NYCC exclusive: Halloween II Pumpkin Scented Michael Myers

And, so ends the first day of NYCC. It was a lot of fun, but it would only get better from here! Any of you guys there on Thursday? If so what did you do or like the most from this day? Let me know in the comments section below.

Kid Robot's Adventure Time Awesomeness at Toy Fair 2015

 

As some of you may know, I am a HUGE Adventure Time fan. As such, I am very happy to report that Kid Robot has AWESOME toys coming out that will be coming very soon. I go to see them at this year's Toy Fair and was flipping out, as soon as I saw them! The detail and paint job on them is excellent. And, the cuteness/ kick ass level is over the top!

The mystery figures (shown above, left, and below) are must have for me! Although, I am not big into this type of toy, I am definitely buying these! They look to good for me to pass up on. This is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the upcoming toy lines that I am most excited for! Come on, just look at how freaking awesome they look!! In the pictures shown you will see that the figures are next to display and packaging that they will come in.

There were also be smaller key-chain figures (right), that are as equally impressive and cute. Yes, I'm gonna have to get these too! BMO alone is a MUST have!!!

Finally, look at these Finn figures to the left. They are larger (and NOT mystery toys) than the other figures and as such, are more expensive. But, as you can see from this picture, they will be well worth the price! The pink coat version will be a comic con exclusive, by the way. I've described my love for Adventure Time collectibles as an addiction, and I am very happy to see that Kid Robot will be contributing to it!

Toy Fair 2013 Pt. 1

This was my 3rd year doing Toy Fair, and also the longest amount of time I ever spent there, as I ended up doing a whopping three days! Though, I must admit by day three my friends and I were kinda done with it... But, for the other two days, it was fun and great to see a lot of the toys. Here is the first of many reports:

Let's begin with some plush dolls, to show that this site isn't always blood, guts, and boobs. I must admit to loving Pokemon, back in the day. I still have a sort of soft spot for it. Enough so that I give you some Pokemon toys, from this booth, that surely will make fans of Pikachu and friends wanna "catch em all"!

 

In keeping with the cute video game theme, here is some Mario Bros. plush dolls at another booth.

 

 

 Gotta love that Bowser!!!

And, now on too some more booth specific reporting:

First off, there was the Kid Robot booth. These guys have some great high end toys. I actually left that booth wanting to buy some. Maybe I will someday. I know those of you who are fans of theirs don't need convincing to buy thier product, but here you go anyway:

 

The Cartman is based on an upcoming upcoming line, that in turn is based on a upcoming video game. The Homer is just fucking sweet!

 

One, of my favorite booths had to be The Loyal Subjects. These guys are doing awesome G.I. Joe and Transformers toys. There is no better way to get my geekgasm going, than with these two great franchises!!

 

The packaging on these little guys is similar to the classic toy packing of the Hasbro action figures. You won't know who you get when you buy one.

 But, I do know that I want the above hooded Cobra Commander!! COOOBBRRRAAA!!!!!!

Aww, Grimlock and Soundwave never looked cuter!

They ain't just doing these litte figures but tees and skateboards as well!! 

While, I don't skate, I do like skateboards. And, these are as fuckin cool as they get! Cobra Commander FTW!

 Megatron the Decepitcons' ruthless leader is one of the great shirts that they will be releasing!

I think this Soundwave one is my favorite, though. Soundwave is the communication's expert for the Decepitcons and has an undying loyality to Megatron.
