NY COMIC CON WRAP UP (BETTER LATE THAN NEVER)

NY COMIC CON is both great and also distinct from the megalopolis that is the San Diego Comic Con. Both are awesome actually. NY COMIC CON had a really enthusiastic group of supporters. At first it felt weird being at Comic Con in WINTER but then I how cool the convention center was throughout the weekend. Especially since I was moving around tons! (see: KFC COMIC CON UPDATE)

I was way impressed with the costumes and I preferred that there were less of the “paid costume wearers” – cause I think the costumes are only cool from the fans – not the studios. Just my opinion. NYCC was more intimate and it was common to “bump” into the same pacman or incredible hulk or scooby shaggy throughout the weekend. Warhammer (Games Workshop) had a cool giveaway and so did Masters of the Universe. Our booth was right up toy alley – appropriate for the launch of ORGAN DONORS.

My highlights include the following:

This was the all time fun event all round – and I suppose we betta think of mo’ toys to compliment our first edition first release of ORGAN DONORS —->

Here are some high res images sneak peaks of ORGAN DONORS. These are the resins pictured here! Remember that in this blind box series – ORGAN DONORS – we have 24 different characters!!! Some are common (like the regular organs) but others are RARE – like the alien invader eye ball/cornea and the black market kidneys. :)

ORGAN DONORS – Red & White Blood Cells. The RARE White Blood Cell character is called “The Enforcer“.

IN addition to all of this we also had time to produce a super rare super limited Jihadi Jewels 4-screen screen printed t-shirt for men and women. Jim Mahfood, pictured above, is reported to have purchased one of these very limited shirts. If you want your own one of these, we are doing a limited run of 33 mens and 33 womens and you can get them HERE, HERE, HERE.
