E.V.A.- Hasbro Showroom Reveals and Day 3 of New York City Comic Con

Posted on 2024/10/28 by James

The 3rd day of Comic Con and I was running on caffeine and sugar which I think most of everyone in attendance was doing the same. Fortunately our day started off-site at Hasbro, which I always enjoy. The bonus to getting up extra early on a Saturday was breakfast in the Hasbro offices. Hasbro is a great way to start your day!

We did get to see some of the upcoming releases for Marvel Secret Wars Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series, G.I. Joe Classified and the HasLab 1/12th scale ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters. I have to say in regard to the ECTO-1, pre-order more expensive version because you get more for your money. I believe the difference is $75.00USD.  Both versions are beautiful, as you will see in our photos.

Vids: Interview with Brian Mariotti Founder of Thrilljoy Collectibles

Posted on 2024/10/26 by James

Comic Con is always memorable for one thing or another. This year at New York Comic Con we had one of those moments. We were fortunate enough to be able to interview the former CEO of Funko and the creator of Thrilljoy Collectibles, Brian Mariotti.

These new collectibles from Thrilljoy look similar to what is available currently from other companies but Thrilljoy is a step beyond. The characters from Thrilljoy are packaged in shadow boxes. I think that the shadow box definitely adds to the presentation while sitting on a shelf.
