SDCC 2013: Toynami Booth Video

I like to think that we get a little more Comic-Con savvy every time we go. Last year my wife missed out and had to pick up the Toynami Hello Kitty Street Fighter Chun Li on eBay. This year, on Preview Night, instead of previewing, she lined up at the Toynami booth and picked up this year’s Badtz Maru as Ryu and Hello Kitty as Akuma. I was lined up at Hasbro, which was right next to the Toynami booth, and I probably walked around that booth at least 15 times over the course of the show.

When I watched Toynami’s Comic-Con video, I realized I’m still as Comic-Con dumb as ever – I’m always so caught up in taking pictures / getting to panels / trying to get SDCC exclusives that I miss so much of the show.

San Diego Comic-Con Toynami and Bandai Pics

Just getting more San Diego Comic-Con pics cleaned up and posted. In this installment, I’ve got Futurama figures from Toynami and a bunch of robots from Bandai.

Futurama – I became a big fan of the show after a friend relentlessly badgered me to watch it after it had been canceled. I never picked up any figures, just not my style, but with the new Toynami figures coming out, there’s an opportunity for folks looking to start up a collection now that more episodes have been picked up by Comedy Central for 2010.
