New York Comic Con Day 1
Nothing major to report so far. But then again, it is only Friday and I’m not really preparing myself for big interviews today. If anything, I’m more or less just focusing in on getting the quick scope of the layout and figure out where I want to be tomorrow (Saturday) so that the real Convolution can begin.
So far, I have managed to not spend too much scratch. I picked up a Spawn figure on impulse but there is something to be said about those old McFarlane sculpts since they blend in oh-so-well with most of the current toy lines. I snagged a MIB Viking Spawn for a $1 from the Fifth Series run so it’s circa 1996. I know at one point, I did manage to see a Frankenstein figure from the Wetworks that would make for another perfect random ghoul to the Matty Collector’s Ghostbusters line but I decided to exercise a bit more control. I was able to get a Sam Hain figure from The Extreme Ghostbusters line for only a couple dollars. To be honest, the Trendmasters figure is rather lacking; as Sam Hain does NOT resemble as that much like his cartoon rendition. I’m kind of sad but I always wanted this figure so I guess I’ll pay the piper because I went for it. I also picked up some of the random ghosts that my collection is lacking. After my touring of the floor, though, I’m convinced that my spending is definitely at an end.
The game plan for tomorrow is to do as many random fan interviews as possible. I’m going to attempt to collect as many free items as I can carry so I can give away from the site. But I don’t really feel like paying for shipping. Even on free junk. Oh well.
It’s about a half hour before my interview with Image about some comic book that I’m not too familiar with. Time to go do what Ghostheads do best…
