    Wizard World - Anaheim show report

    Another show in the books.

    I Went down on Saturday, and met up with Jay and Sharry for the afternoon panels.

    Wizard World is much improved in the Anaheim location,
    as compared to the LA Convention Center.

    They had a few more dealers, and the guests were of a much higher caliber & a much broader range as well. The crowd was pretty sizable, although IMO still too many people wearing spandex that shouldn't.

    What scared me the most? Breakfast Nachos.

    Not much Mego content, but Emcee Trek and POTA were plentiful.
    No sightings of any Retro WGSH.





    The coolest thing I saw were some 12" custom Adam West, Burt Ward, and Van Williams customs.






    The Batman reunion panel was fun - not sure if Julie Newmar is senile, but she was damn funny.




    William Shatner - damn, but the man puts on an enjoyable show. He gave the audience just what we wanted.

        I love how the Emce Trek Crew are $30, but all the aliens are $15.

          Old Shatner always looks like his face is bloated from booze.

                Shatner actually looks pretty good! For Shatner :-) Thanks for the share Rob.

                I helped a buddy staff his modern toys dealer stand at Supernova (Pop Culture expo in Melbourne) on Sunday, and we had a couple of cool vistors before opening. First guy was Yuri, he's the voice of Ben 10, I probably should have noticed the green jacket lol. Very polite, interested in how Ben 10 merch was selling.

                The other visitor was flicking through the Star Trek Barbies, "You haven't got one yet" said my mate, the guy laughed and said "give it time, there's going to be a lot of stuff coming though." t'was Karl Urban. We didn't have any Eomer figures for a shot or auto unfortunatley. He was another guy happy to have a chat, unassuming etc.

                  If I live to be as old as Shat I'll be lucky. I'm not so sure I look as good as he does now, and I'm half his age. I like Urban, he has a good scowl.

                      He was an artist, but of course, I forgot to get his name.
