Live Coverage From NYC Comic Con!!!

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…

Big Apple Con Recap!

Amazingly, we were press passed for this event so of course, we had to go to this event. And I'm glad I went.

The video, while short and choppy, does explain how great Big Apple Con is. The celebrities were in a smaller room than I expected and it was difficult to move around in; compared to the previous years but it was still nice to see people, like say, Kevin Nash (Pro-Wrestler/Actor) who portrayed Super Shredder.

The Friendly Michael Wilkins and his Astonishing Proton Pack

The only issue I had really encountered was the fact that when I was interviewing Michael, the background noise kind of reduced the quality of the interview. If I'm able to catch up with him at Comic Con next week, I'd like to ask him some more questions. Judging by how awesome his personality is, I'm sure I can easily get that secured.

I also want to thank Jerry Milani of Wizard Entertainment for his help in this event. I'm looking forward to the next Big Apple Con in May 2011 already.

Also, as a NJ resident, I cannot wait to find out what is going on with NJ Comic Con... HINT HINT! For the article, check here: http://www.ghostbusting.net/Ghostbusting.net/Events/Entries/2010/10/1_Going_TO_NYC_Comic_Con_2.html

Today I turned 26. I have some awesome friends and family.

My friend, Bryan, is amazing.

Birthday cake.

Random finds!

So right now we have a Dr. Ray Stantz being shipped and our VistaPrint already shipped (should be arriving tomorrow) but no exciting news for the moment. So sit back and read these two GQ articles:

2009 interview with Harold Ramis: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/200906/harold-ramis-director-animal-house-ghostbusters-groundhog-day?currentPage=1

2010 interview with Billy Murray: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/celebrities/201008/bill-murray-dan-fierman-gq-interview

Teaser For Up Coming Project!

So this weekend, I'm going to NYC and going to be working on some possible upcoming projects. But we also are going to be starting the new relaunch with some other ideas. Just sit back and enjoy the show! 

Last Day For Ecto-1 Membership!

At around 4 PM, the last sign up for Club Ecto-1 will be allowed by Mattel!  That's right! Click here for your subscription details! http://www.mattycollector.com/store/matty/en_US/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.202606600

I actually signed up though I am not too keen on the whole commitment process to Mattel's sign up. I might not want all the 2011 figures but, eh. It might be worth it in the long run. Hopefully next sign up, we get an exciting figure.

Who's going to NYC Comic Con 2010?

Apparently we are! Well, at least me for the starters part. I've managed to secure ONE press pass for myself for going to the convention. I will be doing some interviews and handouts while I am there. We're going to be at least presented for a day. Perhaps two?

Stay tuned!

Kicking Off For New York Comic Con 2010

Just submitted the first part of the press pass information to see if we can get in. 

Here's to hoping things go well! 

Club Ecto-1 Extended!

Due to the demand, Club Ecto-1 has been extended. So what does that mean? 

So for another week, that means if you sign up, you are ensured to get all six of the upcoming figures PLUS the ever exclusive Marshmallow Mess Ray Stantz. Personally, I feel like the Club Eternia exclusives are a tad more... exciting? So a Preternia Disguise He-Man is still another He-Man, but can work as a background character with no name. A Ray Stantz with white goo is still a Ray Stantz. However, replacing the flesh tone plastic a neon green plastic to make the Citizen Ghost episode from The Real Ghostbusters would make for a better exclusive. Why? So we can have at least a new character.

Club Ecto?

To steal from Matty,

"I’ve got good news and I’ve got better news. First, the good news. Mark your calendars for July 21st at 4 p.m. whensubscriptions to Club Eternia™ are available. And here’s the better news: for the first time ever, we’re also offering Club Ecto-1 for Ghostbusters™ fans!

Club Ecto-1

Ghostbusters™ Fans, your response to the line has been so good, we’re creating a club just for you! It works the same as Club Eternia™, so when you purchase a subscription, you’re ensured you’ll get all 6 figures scheduled for release in 2011 plus a club-exclusive figure!"

So what does this mean? It means that we are getting 7 figures a year if you include the club-exclusive action. So the question is, who is going to be the 2011 club-exclusive? Best guess is going to be a variant of the team; perhaps a Ectoplasm slimed Winston or Ray or maybe marshmallow covered Ghostbusters. Maybe even lab coat Egon or Peter? Or what about Winston in his street clothing for his interview? Or perhaps a ghost? We'll see soon.

Also, with the Ghostbusters line taking on a good response that Matty is willing to recognize,we might be able to see things like the MOTU accessories but with PKE Meters, Ecto Goggles, and other tools of the trade. More as things to come!  

So if you missed out on the figures the first time, perhaps you might catch up now online. Also, for those at the San Diego Comic Con, keep your ears open for what other news might be happening. That or what monsters may be lurking!

We're Back

New site formatting will begin this week as some new ideas are finally going to be implemented.

Talk from Ernie Hudson about Ghostbusters III can be seen here at http://www.MacGuffinPodcast.com/48  and if you watch the video, it's around the 20 minute in part to see Ernie's appearance.

Stay tuned as we go through some changes and improvements. We're also looking for some new staff writers/correspondents.
