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

E.V.A.- New York Comic Con Day Two…the Insanity Continues…
Comic Con day 2 was a total blast. Aside from
running into old friends and multiple cosplayers there were amazing companies we spoke with and products galore. Our first stop of the day was Volante Design and they are always a joy. David Volante is so proud of his company, as well he should be because their products are top notch. David gave me a great interview which will be posted soon
We also dropped by the Fanhome booth and met the great Todd Stashwick who was signing at the booth. Fanhome , if you didn’t know is a subscription service for the geek in you! They have Batman, the Fast and Furious, NASCAR, Transformers and of course, Star Trek. I really can’t wait for these ships to hit.
