One of the coolest looking things is a Godzilla enemy that is a yellow-gold dragon with three heads. It looks super cool and sold well today. That would be King Ghidora. He's a boss. How much were they going for there? ive been thinking of picking one up for a while. |

I still would like to see Nappa without the armor so I can pose / display him properly when he was fighting goku, piccolo etc.

I want nappa made because that would surely make a reason for bluefin to finally release Tien/Yamcha. Plus TFS made him a beast!

I would hope for the Saiyan saga version of Tien to go with Nappa.

Bran, do you think it's too late to pass along results from a poll that was held at Sideshow Freaks? I don't know what the results were but I may be able to get some results later tonight.
looks like they actually managed to get their poll results in earlier this year.

One of the coolest looking things is a Godzilla enemy that is a yellow-gold dragon with three heads. It looks super cool and sold well today. That would be King Ghidora. He's a boss. How much were they going for there? ive been thinking of picking one up for a while. I'm not really sure, I think we only had three of the beautiful things. Somebody told me he was cheaper than he was online by a lot. Today was good. I worked behind the counter for another 4 hours, so I have a very good idea of what was selling well. First off, let me tell you, the figuarts zero DBZ stuff... it sold like crazy. I don't know what the difference is between collectors at the con vs collectors here, or why there is a difference, but the con goers were crazy about figuarts zero DBZ figures! SS Goku had sold out yesterday, and I must have been asked about him by at least 8 different people who were ready to fork over their money for him if he was there. I sold I think an entire case worth of zero Vegeta, however many there are to a case. I think we had only one or two left at 3 when I left. Trunks eventually sold out too I believe. The Vegeta was very popular. As far as regular figuarts DBZ go, I sold one or two Piccolo, several SS Goku, a few Goku, no Vegeta, no sdcc Piccolo, no Krillin, no Cell, no Frieza. z some of the ones with no buyers are priced a little steep, especially sdcc Piccolo for $80 when he is still listed on bluefin's site for $60. But mostly they have lot of competition, because the people interested in them typically had something else they wanted for $30 in their hand before walking up to the check out area, and not enough money to buy the higher priced ones in addition to the things already in their hands. We completely sold out of scouters other than one 3 pack. There were only 4 shodo left. To my surprise, the crushed earth ground effects did not sell particularly well. I think I only sold one, if that. |

Btw, I had to get Adrenaline to edit some of the previous posts. I said some info that wasn't supposed to be shared, so if you saw it, lucky you, and keep it to yourselves  . I edited one or two he missed as well. I went to Team Four Star's panel. Didn't learn anything in particular except that kaiserneko is gay and has a husband, which he mentioned 3 or 4 times. Not exactly ground breaking news, but I didn't know, or suppose cared to know one way or the other, but it makes it ironic that he is the voice of Zarbon and the rare George Takei comment. He was also wearing a kilt, and I'm not sure why lol. That panel was kind of weird to be at. The crowd there was very unusual to me. Very quirky fans. Some were super shy, studdering and having social anxiety as they asked their questions, some yelling out things like you'd think Conan O'Brien was on stage instead of 4 YouTube guys lol, and, well, just kind of strange. The geek level was over 9000 in that room. I had my own minor celebrity moment while at the bluefin booth lol. A member of DBT who isn't on here yet remembered me and stuff. Kind of unexpected and cool. Hopefully he joins. Back to tfs, they showed us the Metal Cooler movie, which is probably live tomorrow on YouTube. It was good, but, back to the Conan reference, it was weird that people were cheering during the episode. I guess I've just never thought of voice actors as celebrities just like I suspect most people don't think of animators as celebs. The amount of fan support they got was impressive! I mean, some guys who are never seen on camera were being treated like celebrities, such a new concept to me lol. Um, let's see, I showed up late to a panel about making molds, and overall, I just don't have interest in handling toxic urethane resin or spending lots of money on silicone molds. The process takes forever, and, just well, sucks imo. I was in line for the funimation panel, realized just how bored I was toward the end of other panels, and decided to skip it. I couldn't take three in a row. I went to the cosplay contest instead. It was ok, but the camera man sucked. In case any of you are camera men... here's a tip... zoom in on the subjects. As an audience, we can already see 90% background and 10% what we want to see, don't show us the same level of zoom we're already seeing with our eyes. After that I walked around taking pics of people and came home when my phone was dead. Tomorrow is the last day, and I'm kind of exhausted over it. I hope to buy several dbz figures tomorrow, and I'll be working most or all of the time I'm there. There's nothing particularly interesting Sunday I want to see in a panel. |

I forgot to ask, but even if I do find out, I don't think I should reveal it.

Thanks for the info! I just hope there's a repaint of SSJ Vegeta for SDCC. I held out hoping that he'd be the exclusive last year, and was going to get one after Piccolo was announced, but decided to hold out. Now there's no way I can afford it, so here's hoping!

No, I just volunteered. I believe they will give me a discount on the figures today, so I think I'll buy a few.
