Made it home - here's my loot.

[noelani72]

whoa, got into one heckuva severe thunder storm about 35 miles from home. Soooo bad, us and 8 other cars took shelter under an overpass due to the shear whiteout conditions.

But, got home...got unloaded...getting hugs & kisses in.

Time to show off the loot I brought home.
My $$ was spent on customs...nice customs. Some great talent on these here boards. My only fig purchase that wasn't custom was Thing. What made it for me was:
1) I didn't have a Thing at home
2) It was actually on one of my own backer cards from 2002 and still in really nice shape.

Enjoy -

(Backer card was one of my experiments from around 2004 that NEVER got a figure to put in it until now!!)

and in closing...all I have to say is, "how about those belt loops"? :grin:

[CaptainTrenchcoat]

Awesome haul. Everything looks great.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Great stuff. I can't wait to get my Indy. I wish I was getting one of Ed's Wolfmans too.

[vulcan2074]

I know I know...but we REALLY need to brag up the craftsmanship of that suit and the labor of love for the Museum!!!

[B-Lister]

those MEGO keychains are awesome.

I managed to pick one up, but I am in awe of their craftsmanship!

It all looks great, especially the Batman. Does anybody know where the bubble on the Batman card came from? I have been looking for a taller bubble for my figs.

the card and bubble are mine from back in the day.
If I tell you where the bubble came from...I'd have to do an Achmed the Dead Terrorist on you. :smiley1:

The bubble is a good inch taller, so it accomodates figs like this Batman as well as Andorian. However, it is not wide enough for Hulk-style figs. The Superman I made over the weekend will not fit in it :muh:

The card itself has full backside art in classic Kresge-style and is punched with my custom tools.

neolani72, I can't remember very well, but were you the one who was also in Software QA?

I did the Q&A panel last year. I described how I made my backer cards back in the day and I may have showed examples using my pc connected to the projector.

[fossilfuse]

So, do you sell the bubbles? I have 6 to 8 taller figures, and I can't seem to find anyone who sells these darn things.

Nope, that was me, Ed :) It was a pleasure to meet you, your girlfriend, and your dog at the Meet.

Same goes for the Gordys - it was nice to finally get to meet you after all these years, Mr. Gordy. I was hoping for the Iron Man suit since I missed it last year, but cest la vie :)

I really needed to thank you for conversing with Jen in the Mego Suite! After 24 hours of exclusively Mego-talk, she just lit up when she realized there was someone in the room smart enough to know what she was talking about in regards to what she does for a living and the terminology associated with it.

You can only imagine the Abbott and Costello routine that she and I have around the words "agile" and "waterfall".

Yeah, because I need an excuse to talk to a beautiful and inteligent woman. :smiley1: As for work, as much as I would love to be repairing and customizing all day I gotz ta pay da bills, so it's off to the IT world I go (It's technically what I am (supposed) doing right now). We do really get stuck in our IT "buzzwords" so conversations can sound muck like Cold War Era Spy Speak. :grin:

well....maaaybe Iron Man can make an appearance next year. Depends what I have to pack, and if I use my 24MPG SUV vs. 40MPG focus :grin:

It's nice to put faces and personalities with museum names.

[MegoAddict]

nice loot indeed
