The Boy is driving; I'm on his hotspot chilling on my macbook, sad that another one is over. Saturday goes by entirely too fast...
As echoed in previous years, the meet is all about hanging out with everyone. Met some new faces this year too. I won't have to eat for at least three days because of all the deep dish pizza (soooo good) consumed.
Mad props to the team for coordinating. I think everything went super smooth this year. If I had any one thing to wish for, it would be more comfy megosuite furniture lol.
I came to the meet with a bit different mindset this year. Sure, I built a custom figure just for the meet this year, but was more like a project manager since I recruited some great talent to build the head and suit for me. I loved putting Bad Santa together. Once I started putting paint on that head, I could truly appreciate the sculpt work Andy did for me. The suits, wow...Jen really knocked em out for me. I remember getting the package in the mail from her - sometimes you get stuff from people and it wreaks of smoke. Not hers - that zip lock baggie got cracked open and it smelled soooooo nice. Not sure if it was perfume or baby powder, but it made me chuckle a bit. I knew Santa was a niche item, did not expect to sell a single one honestly...this was a figure for my personal collection and had a very limited amount of extra parts to build a couple.
I have had figures in various states of construction for well over a year, so I packed em all up and figured I would work on something. Didn't really get around to doing anything until Saturday morning at my table, and loved everyone stopping by seeing the progress and asking questions. There was one little guy who asked me to paint his Frankenstein head and I did not catch his name - so if you are reading this, post a pic of the finished figure!! :-)
I had some great head sculpts from Matt and finally got to meet him personally this year. I worked up a Christopher Lee Frankenstein that I'd been sitting on for a year, and was flattered someone thought so much of it seeing it built and finished, that he bought it as I put the final touches on it (now I have to do another one for me haha).
As I came with a different mindset this year, I also came with a different budget...and I kinda overdid myself and left with a huge amount of loot...couple things I never imagined I would bring home from a meet...I'm almost embarrassed to post a pic of it all hahaha, but it was fun.
I will remember to bring my own pillows next year...
To all my Mego family, I loved every single minute of our time together and can't wait to do it again. I'd rattle off names, but would feel awful if I left someone out. Mego Love to you all.
ps
and Steve lived up to his promise and gave me far more than two minutes of his time
