fun at Philly

Word up, just wanted to say the Philly show was fun and thanks to everyone for coming by the booth. Dragonfly came to every panel! Jamie we love you and god bless you for that. We got to see Katie 'Starbuck' Sackhoff from Battlestar and that was cool.
Chis Claremont was there, for anyone my age. Kevin Nash it was kinda cool to see him. Clay Moore had an incredible booth as usual and we did the 'Big Toy Panel' with him and man some other toy luminaries were on stage, Randy Falk, Eric '4 Horseman' Treadwell, Robert Tonner, Chuck T from DST. We should'nt have been up there really because we just haven't done that many toys , aside from that it was fun and an honor. My mom bought this new camera to film that panel but Brandon left it on and the battery was dead. I say Brandon left it on but really I don't know who left it on. He also forgot the portfolio. I say he forgot the portfolio but really I don't know who did it.
Speaking of the 4 Horsemen those are some nice dudes, feels like a community when you're talking with those guys. All the Wizard people are top notch in our book, Rob Baricevic I would walk into hell for at this point. Adam Tracey super cool , Nolan , Justin and a couple of more guys made it a very comfortable show and we honestly felt honored to have been invited.
Joe 'BlackIrish' Menna came by, he brought a very talented girl sculptor named Phoebe who also worked at the US Mint , really nice and classy people. I got to talk to Joe Jusko for a second and that was kind of cool. Other than that I wanted to thank our Mom for coming and helping! Yey! We are totally not devil worshipers. How could we be? Our Mom comes to the shows . See? with the PM's and the devil worshipping. it's just toys! jeez, Thanks again

We had a blast at Wizard World Philly. Wizard and ToyFare treated us just great (thanks Rob, Adam, John, and Nolan!).
We got to hang with Clay Moore and The Four Horsemen (thanks for the figures Eric!)

People loved the Bowen stuff as well as the Original stuff. We also had the unproduced Creature from the Black Lagoon and the unproduced Cremator on hand.

TheOldHob...Yes. We sold a bronze. And I bought tons of toys and trade paperbacks. I even scored an autographed Katee "Starbuck" Sackhoff photo. Score!!

Thanks to all the peeps who came out to meet us. It was an honor.

Cheers.

Hey Jarrod, did Phoebe used to work at McFarlane?

Also, how many Scratch bronzes are left? Im saving... but Im about to drop a load on your resin kits at SDCC and I want to know, if by the time I ever get enough saved up, if there will be any left?

I think Phoebe did used to work at Mcfarlene yeah, she had some sports figures that were sick. Cool chick, she had actually done a mini Brom piece sketch that we had also worked on for the Franklin Mint awhile back.

Heck yes we have more Bronze Scratch's, they are going fast and furious which we are surprised to see. Email us anytime! and there is some general info on the site. Thanks for the interest-
