So this is what really happened to the Unknown Comic... Ok, so that really shows my age. I wonder what his sidekicks name is... The Courageous Cookie Tosser? More

The Top Cow Booth. Wait til you see the Top Cow. More	The CrossGen Comics Booth. More	Some exhibitors are just too nice. Just the place to relax when you get tired. More

One very interesting thing about this Con, was that there was some booths for big studios. Still plenty of big comic companies booths (with one notable exception) but this just shows how much the con is growing. More

A Black Rider from Lord of the Rings. This picture came out soooo much better than what you actually saw at the con. The lighting in the convention center didn't show the shades on this statue, and the blood was just about invisible. More	Again, the colors on this statue seemed black, but they came out so much better. I'm assuming that this was a statue of Lurtz. More	Some Lord of the Rings weapons. More
The Troll from Lord of the Rings. To heck with touching it, I just wanted to take it . More	This is going all out on a display fixture. More	Just pack it up and deliver it to my house, thank you. More

I don't remember what this is from, but it sure is interesting. More

Games Workshop made an appearance, something I don't recall happening before. More

Ray Harryhausen, signing tons of autographs. I wonder if he get's tired of everyone coming up and saying thank you. That's what just about everyone who got in line did. More

Hmmm... A Muppet race car. I thought they wanted the brown truck to race. More

FINALLY, I found a Bab... uhhh... Model... In this case, it's Galactic Gladiator Tessa Guess (AKA Diena Law). More

Nice scary booth from Pioneer. More	The Upper Deck Booth really is on an upper deck. They had a raised platform to show off their games. More

Now, you can be your own Life Size Action Figure. More

Artist Alley. It seems to be missing something.... I just can't quite figure out what. More	Get your own plush Spidey doll, only $100. More	What every good pimp is wearing these days... No, wait, these are Austin Powers costumes. As if there's a diff. More

I wonder if he's trying to make a theme song for himself based on that old Queen song. Sing along with me... ALEX - AhhhAhhh - Savior of the universe. More

I know if I'm going to become a Life Size Action Figure, I'm certainly going to do it here . More	Yesss, Baroness... what do you want me to do. No need for the gu...<BAM> uh.. <THUD> More	There some nice touches on these things, such as the choking hazard warning labels. More

More of the Baroness, I wonder why. More	The model is Gina Gatto . More

Touch it all you want, just don't expect to keep your hand. More

The Marvel... uh.. Booth? Either Marvel is going completely out of business, or someone screwed up big time. I heard a rumor that they originally pulled out of the Con, then wanted back in, AFTER all the space had been sold. Oops. More

Robotech statue. More	More	Igoo from The Hurculoids. I really liked this show when I was young, but doubt I could even stand it if I watched it today. Why spoil the memory with reality. More

Get your very own Stormtrooper for only $4,000. And that's a 20% savings off the regular price! More	Life size Moe's Bar, complete with Homer. It's just too cool. More

Some strange things from Netman World. More	Leprosy B2 More	Implant Virus More

More	More

Sentinel Rol'vag from The Villikon Chronicles . More	Lemual Z. Silas from The Villikon Chronicles . More

The clown from It. More	The Keenspot Booth. You can find them at Keenspot.com , of course. I have to link to them, because they linked to me first and they call my site "very cool". More	After the con, while wandering around the Gaslamp District, we came across this store showing off a very big gun. More

The convention center seemed a little behind, as they were putting up the Con's banners late at night. More
