NEW YORK COMIC CON

[Darth Caedus]

Anyone have any tips for websites that might have good coverage of the Con this weekend?

toyfair might have a little web camera of just their booth. G4TV might have a bunch of information from the NYCC, they did for SDCC

DO NOT GO SATURDAY. I don't know about the NYCC, but SDCC, saturday is a hellish day which is to be avoided at all costs. Friday probably wouldn't be too bad. But if you haven't gone before, it's worth a looksie.

Personally, when it came to the crowds. I thought Thursday was 'saturday'. Friday was bad as well. Saturday was actually... pretty tame. This year may be worse.

At SDCC last year I felt like Preview Night was actually the most densely crowded and chaotic.

WOW, then NYCC is much different than SDCC. Saturday they were actually turning paying people away there were so many people.

Agreed.


Here is the movie lineup for NYCC.

What's GG's fascination with open-shirt Indys?

New Marvel Legends pics from the con here:

I believe the new Figures shown are:
Nick Fury, Hand Ninja, Electra, Forge, Jim lee X-Men out fit Wolverine, Super Skrull, Union Jack, Ultimate WWII Captain America, Adam Warlock, Doc Samson, Bi Beast, The End Hulk, Grey Hulk, Red Hulk, Planet Hulk Silver Surfer, King Hulk and Kree Captain Marvel.

Glad to see they took my advice on offering multiple heads and hands (at least for the two packs)!

Not bad looking, but I've really been unimpressed with the direction Hasbro has taken the series. Lower quality and honestly most of the figures I'd want were released when ToyBiz still made them.

 

[Darth Loki]

Any Harry Potter exclusives I need to be aware of?

Fred and George Weasley are going to be NYCC and SDCC exclusives. Werewolf Lupin will be exclusive to GGLTD.com.

The only news from this weekend is that they are making a Ron in Quidditch gear mini bust shipping this fall, but it will not be an exclusive.

But compare this Nick Fury to the original, the new version wins hands down. Same goes for this new Electra.
I've bought nearly all the Toy Biz figures, but I still like these, that is if they don't look horrible after production.
I think the worst step down in quality was less articulation, I don't want 50+ points of articulation, but some of it is really necessary like correct ball jointed hips and cut joints at the shoulder muscles on the arms. The paint suffered a little but it's grown on me.

I'm just glad They're doing some very much wanted characters like Adam Warlock, Tigra, and Doc Samson.

I'm really impressed with the Bi Beast figure!! :

Too bad I don't collect these anymore.

Most of these figures look really good. I might have to get that Adam Warlock and Surfer to go along with my Thanos figure.

 

[Shai]

yep, sculpt of the bi-beast is pretty good,and I think its the first time ever there is a figure made of him.

 

[Ktjn]
