Stargate and Comic Con

[wraithfodder]

Ah, finally, a tiny link to Stargate SG-1, though not Atllantis, at the New York Comic Con. Sean Patrick Flannery (aka Orlin the alien in SG-1) is going to be there promoting The Boondocks Saints, a movie that has been out a while and now has a sequel coming out. Never heard of it myself, but apparently he and another actor from the show will be a booth doing a signing, so I'll try to be there, and try to see Seth Green do his Robot Chicken panel, and the Dead Like Me people are there for their new movie, and Torchwood. I've never seen it, but am darned curious. Oh yeah, and Jared Padalecki  (from CW's Supernatural) will there promoting the Friday the 13th movie. I'm willing to bet he will be MOBBED by teenage girls!

and in between trying to see those panels, I must criss-cross the entire Jacob Javits Center dealer's room full of stuff I surely don't need but will want, especially if I see any Stargate Atlantis goodies, or cute little Godzillas, or some other knickknacks that fits  my budget.

Anybody else going Saturday??

Darn. Enjoy. I'd like to know what they have there. I like toys :)

Me too

The fair takes up both floors of the Javitz end to end. It has everything from traditional dolls, trains, etc. to very adult things like action figures, games, and frightening stuffed animals like "Bunny with Tentacles" which I used to sell a lot of.

I'll write about the best of the things I see when I get back.

Oooh, take pictures too! I like dinosaurs ;)

Two problems with that:

1] You need permission from a dealer to take any pictures. Sometimes there are toys that are not yet on the market.

2] I don't have a paid account so I can't post pictures.

Where possible I will post links to spiffy toys.

Ah, okay, makes a lot of sense, on both accounts. but then take notes ;) I wonder what there will be in the realm of scifi toys. out of curiosity, is this event open to the general public, or just media?

Re: Me too

It is open to buyers and industry guests only. I own a small game company. I also buy some fun toys to sell alongside my games at shows.

For instance, I have a dream game that has a lot of sheep on the cards, so I also sell stuffed sheep that snore when you squeeze their feet.

Sometimes the toys I resell have nothing to do with the games, I just think they'll sell and it helps to make table at a show. I don't have a pirate game, but I make a ton selling pirate hats. It's hard keeping a small business afloat and I do what I can.

Got an URL? I'd be curious to see what you sell. STuffed sheep that snore??

Re: Me too

[media-junkie.livejournal.com]

My url is www.blood-and-cardstock.com

However, I only list my games up there. The toys are strictly a sideline so I don't have them on the website. The sheep audibly snore AND their chests and heads gently rise and fall as they snore. Cute as can be. I also have little sheep that bah when you squeeze their bellies, little bats that bounce when you throw them on the floor and other fun things.

Oh, and did I mention the glow in the dark zombie play set? I have a weakness for the fun stuff.

Heh, of course zombies glow. they're probably all radioactively mutated ;) bats that bounce? oh, sound so cute!
