SDCC > Rustin Parr’s Report, Day 5
Sunday 7/26 140,000 people, 4.5 days, 1 convention – it all comes down to this. The morning was spent re-orchestrating all of the previous buys into a somewhat manageable series of bags, you see typically we bring down large boxes to fill up but all of box army fell in battle against Recycle-Or several months [...]
SDCC > Rustin Parr’s Report, Day 4
Saturday 7/25 A very long day. Began with us futile-y trying to get in to Hall H for the Warner Bros panel. After realizing how pointless that was it was back to the dealer floor. Panels, especially big name panels or panels otherwise in one of the big room, are really hard to get into [...]
SDCC News > Rustin Parr’s SDCC Report, Day 1
Wednesday – 7/21 Preview night is always the worst and best day of the con. The first hour is being reminded of why you hate this place and how much better it used to be. Every company has a massive line for figures, the crowds are bigger than the Saturday horde a decade ago and [...]

With the combination of amazing sculpting and detailed paint, Todd McFarlane’s company had upped the game for everyone. But for me, the best thing McFarlane Toys [...]
Batman: Arkham Asylum figures possibly awesomest things ever made by DCD
Seriously. OK, so the articulation isn’t great, and Batman really should have black and not blue highlights (and if you don’t think DC Direct will be selling that repaint at some point, have I got a bridge for you). And of course, DCD’s overly-cautious nature has them striking when the iron is red-hot, a good [...]
Batman: Arkham Asylum figures coming from DC Direct
OK, so when it comes to videogame-based figures, DC Direct isn’t exactly gaining a reputation for striking when the iron is hot (their Mass Effect 2 figures are due out in August, while their God of War line drops in November). But still, the news that we’re getting an action figure line based on Batman: [...]
