SDCC > Rustin Parr’s Report, Day 3
Friday 7/23 What does one do on Day 2 when the vast majority of exclusive figures on their list were acquired on Day 1? Stroll and go to Panels! And pick up the voucher pre-sale stuff from Matty, of course (incredibly painless and easy – Hasbro, et al, should take note and do the same!).
SDCC > Rustin Parr’s Report, Day 2

Gentle Giant has created a horror sub-site at www.gentlegiantltd.com/horror. The site features their newest license, 30 Days of Night. The site says simply, “Based on the graphic novel by Steven Niles and Ben Templesmith.” Not having read the GN or seen the movie adaptation, I’m not clear whether that’s referring to the film or the [...]
My Gentle Giant Hellboy finally arrives…
…after months and months of delays, and I get the dang variant! The figure looks awesome, but I prefer to own the iconic versions of characters, so it looks like I’ll have to sell or trade this guy and wait for my other order to arrive. Still, he looks fantastic. He’s looks to be in [...]
