#EVENT: Get Yourself Some Vinyl At DCON 2014 This Weekend!

Designer-Con-2015-dcon-Pasadena-Logo

Hello Heroes!

I have some very exciting news. This weekend is D-Con (or Designer Con)! It’s an annual art and design convention that smashes together collectible toys and designer goods with urban, underground and pop art! So if you like vinyl figures, plush, pop-culture, it’s an awesome show to check out. I’ve gone before (want to see some pics?) and had a great time.

I went and picked up loads of goodies.

D-Con is taking place at the Pasadena Convention Center located at 300 East Green Street in Pasadena. The show hours are Saturday 9 am – 6 pm and Sunday 10 am – 5 pm. Tickets, which are available now online are only $5 per day or $7 per day at the door. More info can be found on the D-Con website: http://www.designercon.com.

I WISH I could go this year but I am booked at another convention in New Jersey. So sad that I won’t be able to make it this year, but I’ll be there in 2015! Promise!

Let me know how great the show goes. You can always tweet me @TanyaTate or leave a comment below.

Stay Super
Tanya Tate

Hello Heroes!

Time for more pictures from San Diego Comic Con! On the Saturday of the show I only had a little bit of time to cosplay as I had a signing at the Full Moon Entertainment booth and other activities going on. But I wanted to wear my Black Canary costume. It was the first time I would be wearing it at SDCC. I was able to do a little running around in it and even took part of the DC Comics Cosplayer Photoshoot. Want to see the pix? They are posted below

#SDCC: 12 Pics of Tanya Tate's Captain Marvel Cosplay From San Diego Comic Con 2014!

Tanya Tate San Diego Comic Con 2014 Captain Marvel Cosplay SDCC 010

Hello Heroes!

At San Diego Comic Con I debuted a new costume that I cosplayed in; Captain Marvel! I’m a big fan of the Carol Danvers character, first as Ms. Marvel and now as Captain Marvel. While Ms. Marvel has been one of the characters people have requested that I cosplay as the most, I thought I would represent her as Captain Marvel.

Funny story, I picked up this completed costume less than 24 before I left for SDCC. Talk about cutting it close, LOL. Luckily for me it all worked out and I was able to wear the costume as planned on the Friday of the show.

Want to see some picture of me cosplaying as Captain Marvel? Have a look below:

Phil's Favorite SDCC 2014 Funko Exclusive Scores from Comic Con

Hey Funko fans! It's Phil from Poppin' Off About Funko's Facebook Group. Hollywood Gone Geek asked me to get a list together of my favorite Funko SDCC scores.  So, here is my list...

PhilfavSDCC

We have seen Funko reveal week after week their upcoming exclusives for San Diego Comic Con. We were very excited to see glam shots of all these wonderful exclusives Funko would be selling at their famous booth at SDCC. There were also other Exclusives I was excited about from Fugitive, Crazy Cay Collectibles, Toy Tokyo & POP! Asia.

Well, after battling the Funko booth and a couple others at Comic Con.  I had a lot of these gems in hand. Here are my favorites after seeing these exclusives in person.

2014-Funko-Pop-Star-Wars-Luke-Skywalker-Hoth-Wampa-SDCC

Wampa-Luke 2-Pack from Star Wars

This set is amazing! The super-sized Wampa with his cut off arm by Luke’s lightsaber is great! Luke had some new detail as well with some battle scar blood. This is a must have for any Star Wars fan! Funko used the force with this and did a really cool job of bringing the Hoth scene to the vinyl-toy world.

  10563069_271804923007182_8513088264196031850_n

Huckleberry Hound from Hanna Barbera

Funko first revealed this exclusive with the original release artwork. As it turned out the Comic Con exclusive was the dark blue variant. The Hound is a limited edition of only 480 pieces. So if you have one of these in your collection, it's a totally good thing. I was really excited to pick up this Hanna-Barbera Pup! There were also 6 colored variants at Funko’s FunDays that were a limited edition of only 24 each (those were not for sale, the FunDays variants are priceless).

  Batmobile_banner

Toy Tokyo Gold Batmobile 

Okay, so technically my next pick was not revealed by Funko, the Gold Batmobile was a Toy Tokyo exclusive. It's a limited edition of only 300 pieces. The Gold Batmobile comes with a red Batman Hero Pop. These were very limited at Comic Con as they sold out within the first 45 minutes each day. Batman looks really pimped-out in his gold ride! This was the ultimate score for me, as I’m a huge Batman fan!

  Toytokyo-cc14-hikari-skeletor_5b1_5d_1024x1024

Toy Tokyo Antique Skeletor Hikari

Yes, another Toy Tokyo Exclusive made my favorite list! What can I say, Toy Tokyo also revealed some really amazing pieces. This Hikari figure has an incredible silver/black/gold paint job. These Hikari figures are handmade and crafted by a wonderful company called MindStyle. This figure measures about 6 inches tall and this particular piece is a limited edition of only 300 pieces.

JessePinkman-BreakingBad-FunkoPop-SDCC-Exclusive

Beat Up Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad

I’m a fan of the award winning show Breaking Bad. I thought this beat-up Jesse was a great variant. I actually like this Comic Con exclusive better than the original release of Jesse. Damn, Tuco really did a job on this guy! This figure is an limited-edition of 2500 pieces.

  WLBatman

Fugitive White Lantern Batman

Ok, so this next favorite was not even at SDCC, but I’m going to throw him in there for a couple of reasons. 1, he’s VERY cool and 2, he was a part of a SDCC Fugitive Exclusive 7-pack that I got right after Comic Con. This White Lantern Batman was the Mystery figure in the 7-pack! Hopefully we see a glow-in -the -dark version next.

  Hopping Ghost

Pop! Asia Hopping Ghost Series

These were at the MindStyle booth at SDCC. These creepy Gold exclusives are too cool! There are 4 figures in the set… Prime Minister, The Sheriff, Little Prince & The Judge. Funko & MidStyle teamed up on this project as well. All I can say is… the paint application on these vinyls are wonderful! Flawless! I’m happy to add these guys to my collection. 

  San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Exclusive Stan Lee Pop! Vinyl Figure by Funko

Sten Lee SDCC Version 

I have never been a fan of the Stan Lee Pop! figures until I saw this one. Finally, a SDCC version of Stan the man! This Stan Exclusive was at the Crazy Cat Collectibles booth for $25. I couldn't pass him up! 

 

I hope you guys got to score some SDCC Funko Exclusives of your own. 

Until next year guys….
