FX Show 2006 - After the Show

Well FX has come and gone, but WOW what a ride.

It was great! Lots of guests, lots of deals, and lots of fun.

Unlike years past, this year I was actually working the show. I was helping fellow board member Nakanari promote designer toys. We set up the booth on Friday night and right away started getting tons of questions regarding our displays. Here's a few pictures...

Here's the booth.

I also met this cool artist, RAK, (www.rakgraphics.com). I don't know why, but I just loved his work, so I purchased some cool cards from him.

Out of all of them, these are my favoritesm but I do like them all.

He also drew this up for me, which I absolutely LOVE.

He's not the only artist that had interesting artwork, I also purchased these...

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...FXArtSpawn.jpg
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...rtSpideyMJ.jpg

Now, the Green Lantern, Lady Death, and She-Hulk I only got because the artist was a friend of Nakanari and we had hung out a bit, so when I went to buy the Spawn print for $5, he threw in all the others for free.

Cool stuff!

I like those RAK cards (?) myself...........

Any new Mars-1 or Todd Schorr stuff on the horizon?

Now... onto the HAUL!! I got a ton of cool stuff.

Picked these guys up for $3 a piece.

Also scored these guys for $1 a piece... the one on the right was painted by Nakanari there at the show.

Now if I could only find a Lips, I'll be all set.

groovy!
sounds like you had a blast.

who're the broads?

Adding this to my collection means I'm only missing a Stealth Iron Man. YAY!!

The wife saw this and thought it was cute, so we got it. Unfortunately I cut off her feet in this picture, and they are the best part. She has little red spikes all the way around them.

Stopped at Wal-Mart on the way to the con and found this guy. Which was cool because he was going for double there.

And that completes my FX expereince. Hope you enjoy. Whew... I'm beat. Wake me up next year... [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, the cards are awesome. Hopefully he'll be at one of the other cons so I can pick up a few more that I wanted.

Honestly, I'm new to the whole designer toy thing so I'm not sure. I know there was a Mars-1 that just arrived at my comic shop, but I don't know if that's a re-order or something new.
