NYCC 2014- Friday, Pt. 1

 

The second day of NYCC, Friday, began with me getting my ass out of bed, nice and early. OK, actually nice is really not the appropriate word here. But, early most definitely is! I was hoping to get the exclusive Stan Lee NYCC pop figure for this year, but they only get 200 a day and sell out of them in 20 min! Even though, I got to the booth early, it wasn't early enough. I would suffer for this, as I felt dead tired all day. That being said there was much fun to be had, enough so that I am splitting Friday into two parts of coverage.

As you might be able to tell from the above Legend of Zelda pic, cosplay was in full swing. Below you will find some of my personal favorites from this day (with more to come in part 2!):

Long time readers will know that this is not the first time that I have run into Pedobear at Comic Con. I always get a kick out of getting my pic taken with this perverted mammal! Lol!

The Tri-Force booth had some sexy DC Comics cosplay!

DC villains really seem to love Comic Con!

This Carnage cosplay is just too fucking wicked and badass!

Of course, my time was also spent hitting up some booths, mostly for toys, whether it's buying them or looking at them and wishing I could buy them or checking them out specifically for posting here, or a combination there of:

 The Red Ranger guards the Ban-Dai booth. This booth had a crazy-ass line, until Sun afternoon!

 

 Sexy Tardis alert! This hottie was at the Geeky U booth, who specialize in geeky apparel.

 

 

 

 As a hardcore Transformers fan, I was drooling for these beautiful but expensive toys.

Oh my God!!! This Predaking figure really captures the beauty, size, and badassness of who is probably the most powerful of all the Transformers combiner robots.

 The Alien Queen is coming soon from NECA. This gorgeous, fully articulated action figure should go around the $80 or more mark. But, dear God, will she be worth it!

Here we have some Robocop Vs. Terminator toys. They, and this is display, is based on the comic-book of the same name.

 

 This has to be one of the most awesome Terminator figures, that I have ever seen!

 

 Leatherface and Godzilla!! NECA really knows what, we genre fans want and love!

This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/ Leonardo and Shredder hybrid with Spongebob Squarepants and Plankton is a Funko Pop exclusive from San Diego Comic Con. It's freaking awesomely cute and a tad on the more expensive side. Fugitive Toys was selling him, at their booth, which also had a long-ass line. Though, I did got on said line to buy the glow-in-the-dark Ice Giant Realm Loki exclusive Pop figure. That wait was over an hour, by the way! Still, better than the line for Toy Tokyo, believe it or not!

Let's end this part with a visit to the Vampire Freaks booth and this British stunner. This gorgeous booth babe, really liked my Hello Kitty/ Red Skull/ Hello Hydra tee that I bought off of TeeFury back in May. Her sexy accent and sweet attitude really made her a pleasure to talk to. Of course, so did the fact that she is hot as hell! In all, she's a great reminder as, to why this is always one of my favorite booths to hit up at Comic Con!

Well, that is it for this half. Stayed tuned for more stuff, not just from Friday but the other two days, as well!

NYCC 2014- Thurs

Another New York Comic Con (NYCC) has passed us by. Beginning this past Thurs and ending on Sun (Oct. 9-12, 2014), the show was another epic time of geekdom and fun. Packed with fans, this one managed to top the sales of San Diego Comic Con (SDCC). It really gets bigger and bigger every year, so that not only is on the level of SDCC, but it now may have well topped it.

As in the past, I have lots of coverage, pics, and interviews to share. Let us begin with the very first day of the show, Thurs. Remember when I mentioned last year, how the show was more packed on that Thurs, than any before it? Well, it was even more packed this year! I mean think of it like this, my friend bought her ticket last year, the night before. You couldn't do that this year, since it was sold out far in advance, even just for Thurs!! Anyways, on to the coverage:

First off there were mascots at different booths, including the above dude from Skylanders and the below little rubber ducky a pic below. 

 

 

I also got to meet amazing artist Bill Plymton and catch up with gorgeous adult film star Julia Ann. I got a free poster they were handing out signed by both of them. Two days later I interviewed them both. I will have that up as soon as my editor/ photographer/ camera guy, BAS Photography and I are done working on it. In it they discuss the soon to come out Penthouse magazine shoot that they were involved with. But, you'll get all the awesome details on that, when it is finally up. For now check out the pics I took of them on Thurs.

 This is the free poster that they were signing and handing out.

 Julia signs my poster.

 

 

A fan found an old comic that featured Julia Ann on it being sold at the con. He bought it, then had her sign it! She was so surprised at his find that she had to photograph it!

Speaking of art over in artist alley there was some amazing work displayed and sold.

 

Charles Soule is the writer that has worked on one of my favorite books, Thunderbolts. I bought a trade off of him and had him sign it.

 

And, of course, there was cos-play galore. OK, not as much as there would be on the next few days, but still enough to catch you eyes. Here are some noteworthy and awesome ones, that I saw and got to shoot pics of.

This beautiful duo is an actual mother/ daughter team of mother/ daughter team Silk Spectre 1 & 2 from The Watchmen. I told these two beauties, that could be sisters. The lovely mom was very flattered by my words, which I really did mean.

Ariel and Nelson D. Martinez, two friends of mine, did DC villain cosplay on this day.

Goth beauty seen at the VampireFreaks.com booth.

Game of Thrones group cosplay. I was happy anytime I would see some GoT cosplay at the con!

A very sexy Harley Quinn joins our cosplaying couple for a pic. BTW, there were A LOT of Harleys at this con! I mean we are talking A LOT!!!

Guardians of the Galaxy cosplaying is for all ages!

Well, Thurs was quite a bit of fun, and despite the huge amount of people a nice warm-up for the rest of the show. We had a great time, and even more awesome days were to come, soon! Be sure to keep reading, as the best of my coverage is still to come! Including a couple of interviews that I promise you are truly epic in nature!
