It was a pretty busy day, right from the moment we found our tables. We were signing stuff and doing sketches almost immediately. A lot of nice Turtle fans came by the tables to say hello and get things signed. I'd like to single out two in particular, both of whom surprised me with thoughtful gifts.
The first was this gentleman who gave me this cool drawing of Donatello and Etrigan the Demon that he had drawn. Nice!
And the second was this young lady who brought me a nifty toy Triceratops. It's the small version of that big Kota from Playschool. I have the big one at home, but I wasn't even aware that this one existed! It's definitely going to join the collection when I get home.
I have both of these nice folks' names... but I left them at the con! Hopefully I will remember to bring those names back with me tomorrow so I can give them their due credit. Thanks again!
I also spent some time today signing at the Playmates booth, and after my hour there I got my photo taken with April O'Neil and Casey Jones. -- PL
I really hope that April and Casey, and you yourself Mr. Laird, will be at the San Diego Con this year.
ReplyDeleteIts really cool to see your views on how the comic con goes, please post more, I wish I was there.
ReplyDeleteAny word from NECA? I thought the Playmates replacement line would be enough, but while Splinter looks great, that Shredder is pure garbage.
ReplyDeleteAnd all of the look like the cartoon figures, not like the comics at all.
It's now more important than ever those NECA figures see the light of day...they might be there at the con.
I new there was an April there, but not a Casey...
ReplyDeleteBTW, did anyone find out if 'April' is single? :)....She's pretty darn cute :)..
BTW, I'm busy editing and uploading some of the Mirage panel. I won't put the whole thing up though... I know the guys don't particularly like being in front of the cameras :).
It appears Aprils jumpsuit is a a little more revealing that I remember...heh heh heh
ReplyDeleteI tried in vain to get today off from work to come down. Ah well. I hope the con is a lot if fun, I am there in spirit!

Sarah, i believe that Kill Bill look for April jumpsuit is based on her BTTS fighting suit design.

Mr. Laird it has been tremendous fun getting to see you and the rest of the Mirage crew this weekend so far and I can wait to go to the convention again tomorrow!
I am so very, very happy you liked it Mr. Laird! I just really wanted to show my appreciation for all you've done with the Turtles. They've always meant a lot to me, and been a big part of my life, so I really wanted you to know that there are fans out there who felt this way! It has been such a pleasure and a honor to be able to speak with you and the other Mirage guys this weekend. You guys are awesome! :) Thanks so much for the great experience! :)
