Comic Con Adventure 2017: Back Again

February 4, 2018 Leave a Comment

I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey. A long overdue journey to last year’s Dallas Comic Con.

Dalek hats
You can look like a genetically engineered, hateful, brutal, destructive alien AND keep your head warm at the same time.

Necronomicon table
These gorgeous Necronomicons are better suited for a horror convention, but still a welcome sight.

Boxes of Reptar Cereal
Reptar, Reptar, gotta find that Reptar.

Comic bins
I didn’t go through a lot of comics this time; the only boxes full of cheap stuff were on the floor. How degrading.

NES games
Above them was an assortment of NES cartridges. “These are the video games I played when I was your age,” said a passerby to his son.

Assortment of weird buttons
My friend and I went through a bin of these weird, old-ass buttons. Emphasis on the “weird,” emphasis on the “old-ass” – one of them pricked me and I spent the rest of the night worried I’d get tetanus.

Robocop, Terminator, Ghostbusters, and Jurassic Park busts
These busts were so, so cool, but way out of my price range, I’m sure.

Human Centipede Barbie, Skewered Barbie, Bloody Dress Barbie, Autopsy Barbie
Impressive! Anyone want Human Centipede Barbie?

Funko Pop table (one of many)
Every year I see more and more Funko Pops. When will it stop? When will the bubble burst?

Star Trek dolls
Hello lineup of 12 inch figures/dolls, we meet again.

Star Wars dolls
A couple of these Anakins look like William Shatner.

Buffy dolls and Terminator doll
What are you smiling at?

Andromeda dolls
I’d consider getting the Rev Bem if he was $5-10 cheaper.

Box of lightsaber parts
What is this? Why are you selling a pile of junk? Oh, they’re parts for a “Make Your Own” lightsaber.

Superhero patches
Last time it was pins, this time it’s patches.

Comic Con 2017 Lego Minifigures A
Comic Con 2017 Lego Minifigures B
I thought these were customs, but it looks like they’re mass-produced somewhere because they’re abundant eBay and Etsy. Doesn’t take away from their coolness, though!

Star Trek and Star Wars badge pins
Maybe next time.

Superman as a chicken soft toy
It me.

The Haul

Action figures, buttons, cookie plush, sticker
Mainly Star Trek figures and some of those weird buttons. Zero comics

Mutated Tom Paris with mutant offspring
Mutated Tom Paris with salamander babies, based on the much derided but Emmy Award-winning (for makeup) episode of Star Trek, Threshold. In the ’90s, I’d sometimes find this guy while digging through the 3 for $10 bin in KB Toys. I’d hold him up, stare him right in the eyes, then throw him back in. But as the years went on, I’d had a change of heart; this figure sucks so much that I just had to have it.

Ace Duck
Ace Duck! Playmates’ Ninja Turtles figures were good, but their non-turtle toys were even better.

Morn close-up
And Morn – who can resist that sweet face?
