STGCC 2013 - my recap and musings

After skipping the previous two year's convention, I am SO glad I attended STGCC 2013! There are so many booths, events, panels, signings etc that any fan of pop culture will definitely find something interesting there.

Entrace to STGCC

Can't wait to watch Iron Man 3

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI

I'm a latecomer when it comes to Hot Toys 1/6 scale figures.  Just started showing interest when wife bought for me the War Machine for my birthday. So does this post mean I've bought the Iron Man Mark VI??
Nope! I borrowed this from a friend to take photos.  ;)

This first photo started out as just a shot of the deployed air flaps. Then I thought to include the arms in the swept-back flying position. I ended up photoshopping the city lights and motion blur into the background.

Besides looking cool, I don't know how else those metal flaps under the air flaps assist in flying!

Teaser: Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VII

While fanboys are still gushing over the just-released photos of Avengers Black Widow, Hot Toys has released a teaser for the Iron Man Mark VII armor from the movie!

Lego Avengers fangirl

Our resident Lego fangirl - Sanae - is also enjoying the Lego Avengers sets. Here she 'assembles' her favourite superheo team.



Yes I know Cap is missing. Who knew the smallest Avengers set (6865: Captain America's Avenging Cycle) would be the hardest to find?  >__<

Hot Toys War Machine

I have been resisting getting into Hot Toys because I already have too many toys in my collection. But wife just bought this awesome HT War Machine for my birthday, so now I have joined the 1/6 collector's club! *claps*

The reflective box really looks good in photos.
