FX Show, Who's going?

[BendyZaius]

Hey Scott,

Did you have the booth with the glass cases of loose Megos and the MIB Penguin etc? If that was you it was a nice display. I didn't know you were a Museum guy or I would have said hello.

No. That was probably James Gallo (a fine member here). I had the space with the Dinah-Mite Campmobile and Horizon Superman model, among other things.

OK now I know who you were, nice to put another face with a name. You demo'd the Oz Munchkinland Tornado gizmo for us. Nice to have met you (sort of).

Mego Moment brought to you ......




Amazingly, he looked at it like he had never seen it, but could tell it was old. I could see him get excited. His manager looked at it, and asked if I had bought it at the show. Apperently she was up to date on them, as she said, "There heads always turn grey, does that one have it?"

Real nice guy! A pleasure to meet, very friendly, and funny.
Met the people from "The Warriors", fantastic bunch also!! Really cool!

Didn't see anyone because I got stuck going on sunday, the ponch didn't arrive til Saturday. I missed you Scott, I stoped by Jims Booth and talked with him, but you must have been walking around.

What Fantastic Pics ! Kuddos !!! I bet he's got like 5 of those now since he signed that one for you.

[toys2cool]

He signed mine too,he was like man it's been a long time since I've seen these.The lady was rushing me so I could'nt ask him questions about it,but he said something about seeing it one in a Fullhouse episode

Dude, you need to get back to the MegoMeet. New faces show up there all the time. I met Scott there last year. Great guy! I really want to make it down to the FX show but I'm always tapped out around this time.

I sure wish Pittsburgh shows celebs were as cool as the ones in Orlando. They need to work on that one.

I had been checking the site nonstop this time to see if there was going to be an exclusive but no cigar. Did they have one?

so was I,but they didn't have anything,all they had was a glass case with the previous ones,but no GAH figures

[starsky]

great shots of ponch signing the toy. he definitely looked like he was enjoying the moment. how much did he charge?

[mishu2nite]

He was charging $25. The guys from the warriors were $20 each, ouch, when you consider a group item, but they were very cool, and insisted on a group shot after they signed my item.

[toys2cool]

Here are some of my pics,what sucked was that the FX people were telling the celeb's to hurry up and not take pics with the fans which is BS if you ask me,they all took one with me anyway but a lot of people didn't get the chance.I got a bunch of auto's like
Greg Grunberg -Heroes $25
George Takei $25 I got 2 (a pic and my Heroes Season 1)
Tommy the White Ranger $20
Nathan Fillion-Firefly $25
Nicholas Brendon-Buffy $25 and $5 for a pic(what a rip!)


^ it's MORPHIN TIME!! Great guy!! sorry i was a huge Power Ranger fan as a kid


Ponch was a sweet heart man,as soon as I saw him I spoke Spanish to him and his eyes just lit up,he would'nt stop talking to me,the lady was hurrying him up and he was like yeah yeah I'm talking to him I loved him



Sulu had to have been one of the sweetest and nicest Celeb's I've ever met

Yeah there were no exclusives this year, just the exclusives booth selling leftovers from past years like some GI Joes etc. Mike Hertz, the promoter who runs the show, has been doing a really poor job of promoting the show and keeping it viable. We were set up as dealers the past two years but for last years show Mike 'forgot' to mail out the advertising flyers and did no local ads etc. so the show tanked. He did better this year but he had already lost half of his dealers. We flew down just to get a bunch of autos and shop.

Megacon, which happens at the same venue the first week in March is growing quickly and taking over this market. We will be setting up at that one instead.

MegaCon Convention

yeah I was looking into this one as well,the only bad thing about the megacon is that you hardly see any vintage toys.I think I might go just to get Nathan Petrelli's auto and Kristy Swanson

Hey Toys, That pic with Tommy's Great. He was the Best Power Ranger Ever. Wish he was able to get some other work...., He was a pretty good actor, & Knows the Kung-FU too.
