Comic Con Adventure 2018: Here We Go Again

May 5, 2019 Leave a Comment

I’m months late on this report, but that’s fine because time is just a human concept and doesn’t really exist. Anyway, here – at last – is my fourth post on Dallas Comic Con:

McDonald's toys
We begin with the usual assortment of McDonald’s toys (with a couple Sy-Klones in the mix).

Talkboy cassette player

Scooby-Doo monsters
As usual, I spent a lot of time digging through the bins.

Gul Dukat
A naked (uniform-less) Gul Dukat!

Star Wars figures
I like that they put Christopher Lee next to Peter Cushing.

'90s toys

Ninja Turtle - MichelangeloToy group: Thor, Robin, ThunderCatsMer-Man

Plush Toys

Godzilla plushMario, Toad, Dragon Ball plushMonsters Inc. Mike, Cookie Monster, Hello KittyGudetama - egg yolk plush
Gudetama, the Sanrio (makers of Hello Kitty) character – a depressed egg yolk. Wow!

Comics

old comics
Thousands of dollars worth of comics in this single image alone.

Jetsons comic
But this $1 comic of Elroy meeting his Bizarro World counterpart is more more my speed.

Doctor Who and Justice League comicsALF comic

Batman

This looks so old!

Batman Forever Birthday buttons

Dragon Ball

Huge Goku
There was a heavy Dragon Ball presence this year – maybe because it was the same venue as Kameha Con? A mini-replica of the Tenkaichi Budokai (World Martial Arts tournament) building was in the middle of the dealers room.

Fat Buu vs. Vegeta
Lots of classic fights in the franchise recreated by action figure dioramas in glass cases.

Goku Black vs. Trunks
Even fights from recent Dragon Ball Super episodes.

Goku vs. Broly diorama
And a nice, 3-dimensional preview of the Broly film, which was a couple months away from its premiere at this time.

Dragon Ball Saiyan figuresMore Dragon Ball figures
Also on display were previews of upcoming figures.

"Chibi" Dragon Ball figures
And “Chibi” or “Super Deformed” figures (not sure what they’re called nowadays).

Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Mr. Satan statues

Accessories

Star Trek and Star Wars pins
Ahh yes, these again – now with Star Trek: Discovery additions; the Mirror Universe pins look like they could be really dangerous (as they should, I suppose).

Auryn necklaces
I should’ve at least asked how much these were going for.

Helmets
Are helmets considered “accessories”? Sure.

Green Ranger helmet

Photo Ops

Millennium Falcon cockpit
Replacing the full-scale replica of the the Star Wars snowspeeder was a full-scale replica of the Millennium Falcon cockpit; I think it cost $30 per photo.

Flying Nimbus and "aura"
But if you wanted something cheaper (free), you could pose on the Flying Nimbus AKA Kinto’Un from Dragon Ball.

LEGO City

LEGO city building tops
As I’ve been going to these cons more and more, I’ve started exploring the offerings upstairs.

LEGO city commotion
This year one of the rooms contained an entire LEGO city; based on some of the building signs, I think it was supposed to be Gotham.

LEGO city back view
There was a man in the room carefully constructing its elements, so I’m going to assume he was its sole creator.

LEGO city carousel
Parts of the city, like this carousel, were motorized and moving – the city was alive!

The Haul

Comic Con 2018 Haul
I was randomly thinking about the Witchblade show earlier that day, so when I saw that pack of cards, I felt compelled to get them.

Garak holding David Levinson in his arms
Standouts were Garak and Jeff Goldblum (well…”David Levinson” from Independence Day).
