If you consider yourself a fan of the nerdly arts and will be in the Big Apple on April 18 through 20, you’re going to need to head on down to the 2008 New York Comic Con. Even if you don’t love comics, there will be plenty of anime, manga and toy and action figure collecting to ensure sore feet and empty wallets.
MATTEL
For those of you who can’t get enough of Mattel’s DC Universe Classics, a trio of black-clad figures will be available at the Mattel booth. Tech Suit Mr. Freeze will be exclusive to the show, and if you didn’t snag a Knight Shadow Batman or Black Outfit Superman at retail, you’ll get another shot at both.
MEZCO TOYZ
Biggie fans should check out the Mezco booth for an exclusive 9-inch Notorious B.I.G. figure (in the yellow jersey from his “Juicy” video, $30) and a 10-inch Stylized Jason Voorhees variant with removable, claw-marked mask, real clothing and a “fresh from the grave” paint job.
TOY TOKYO/TOY2R
Stop by Toy Tokyo’s booth to pick up an exclusive radiation suit Homer Qee from Toy2R! He even comes with an inanimate carbon rod! |
