I have traveled far and wide to attend comic book (and sim
ilar) conventions but this is the first time that I attended one in Toledo, Ohio. I was sure that there had been comic conventions here before, but I was told that was a misconception. I was informed that other comic book shows that had been held in Toledo were mostly just large dealer shows. Those events lacked media guests and panels, both of which are big draws for the fans. So if we are to believe my artist friend, Fantasticon made history. Continue reading

Equipment: Plush Game of Thrones Drogon the Dragon from Factory Entertainment
Game of Thrones is one of the most popular shows on the plan
et and everyone has a favorite character. I am quite partial to Daenerys Targaryen. She is beautiful, powerful and she has some very interesting pets. Daenerys is known as “the mother of dragons”; a name she earned when she emerged from her husband’s funeral pyre unscathed and holding 3 newly hatched dragons. Saying this woman is hot is an understatement. The only thing hotter would be her dragons. Continue reading

Equipment: Captain Action Foot Locker Coming Soon
In the 1960’s Mattel launched Captain Action and he 
was an action figure with endless possibilities. Captain Action could be anything from superhero to super-spy just by changing his uniforms. Each outfit had different masks, different accessories and so many things that were so easy to lose. The one thing that Captain Action didn’t have in the 1960’s was a foot locker, but all that has changed. Continue reading

Equipment: Review of the Rick Sheriff Duffel Bag from The Coop
I have been a fan of The Coop for a couple of years now. I was ho
oked from the first look I had at their products. It was their line of Halo merchandise that initially grabbed my attention. I felt like they knew what I wanted; basically role-play items. They were making bags that I could see characters using. They did it for Halo and now they are doing it for one of the hottest shows on television, The Walking Dead. Continue reading
