SDCC 2013: MATRIX Photo Booth – Cosplay and More Gallery – Thursday

Here’s Thursday, the second day (officially the first day since Preview Night doesn’t count) of San Diego Comic-Con, as shot by Richard of the MATRIX Photo Booth. Thursday is when the cosplayers really start coming out, because on Preview Night folks are worried about getting badges and aren’t so keen on dressing up for the short evening of Con.

There’s over 250 shots in this gallery, and over a thousand for the five days of SDCC. If you missed it, check out SDCC 2013 Preview Night as seen by MATRIX.

SDCC 2013: Diamond Select Toys Marvel Select, Minimates and More

We’re still working through pics from San Diego Comic-Con. This set is from Sandman’s visit to the Diamond Select Toys booth. They had a lot on display – the usual suspects like Marvel Select and Marvel Minimates were joined by some newcomers. In the “Select” brand it looks like DST will be adding a Sin City Select line as the sequel to the Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller hit comes to fruition. On the Minimates front, it looks like Tomb Raider will be joining the Marvel and Walking Dead lines. And who doesn’t love Femme Fatales?

I’ll have to review my own DST pics – I am surprised not to see Star Trek Select in here. I’m not sure if that’s because they didn’t have any on display or if Sandman hates Star Trek. I think I would recall if they had anything on display past Kirk, Spock, and Picard. [/Ron]

Hot Toys Reveals Three New Figures at ACGHK – The Crow, Cloud from The Storm Riders, and Tony Stark (Mechanic) from Iron Man 3

While Hot Toys unveiled a slew of upcoming figures at San Diego Comic-Con, they still had some in the tank for Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2013 this past weekend.

The Crow – Brandon Lee as Eric Draven – believe it or not, I’ve never seen the movie – should I? Having only seen screen caps of the movie, it’s hard for me to judge how good the likeness is. What’s the consensus here?
Cloud from The Storm Riders – likewise for this figure, I’ve never read the manga, which (according to my quick internet search) has been running since 1989. Wow. For fans, I hope that Hot Toys will get around to releasing Wind, the other main character from the story. Not sure if this one will get a U.S. release.
Tony Stark in his mechanic gear from Iron Man 3 – with the hoodie and sunglasses I’ll think of this as the Unabomber Tony. It’s only fair that if Hot Toys is going to make half a dozen or so Iron Man armors that got a few seconds of screen time that they make the outfit that we see Tony Stark in for most of the movie. But it does beg the question – if he could call all those armors for the final fight, why didn’t he call them sooner?

I haven’t checked for pre-orders yet, but I’d check out Sideshow first since they’re the U.S. distributor, especially if you’re looking for the exclusive items, which both the Crow (weather vane) and Tony (homemade wrist repulsor) have.

SDCC 2013: MATRIX Photo Booth – Cosplay and More Gallery – Preview Night

When my friend Richard saw that I webswiped a San Diego Comic-Con cosplay gallery because I hadn’t taken any pics of my own, he offered me his pictures. Richard (also known as ActionFiguresRule on the toy boards) is the owner of a unique service – the MATRIX Photo Booth. Think of one of those photo booths at the mall in which you pose inside the booth and get a strip of pictures after a few minutes – only with MATRIX, the booth is portable, and you can get your pictures with almost no wait at all. It’s great for events of all kinds – just take a look at these pictures!

Richard shot all five days of Comic-Con, so we’ll be running one each day this week, Monday through Friday. In total, there’s over a thousand pictures for your enjoyment. Here’s Preview Night!
