Have you see this neat little widget app LionsGate put together in celebration of the season 7 DVD releases?

A couple times a year, Patraw of The Technodrome holds a custom action figure contest. The fourth run of this contest is currently going on right now. GoGreenMachine has donated 2 FCBD comics signed by Kevin Eastman as prizes for first and second place. Click the pic to go check it out!

This footage is actually really good in terms of showing character animations. Unfortunately, no bosses. This came in by way of GGM reader Michelangelo-Sama. Thanks Dude. Original video published by GamerVision. Click the pic.
Hey guys,
Ashley and I just returned from checking out a couple comic book stores for free comic book day. The first of which was Golden Apple in Los Angeles, where Kevin was signing. So…Bill Shatner was also there…and walking up to the store, you could see his line.
Kevin’s line they kept internally, it weaved through most of the comic aisles. We got to the store at noonish. Which was was fortunate, because they cut Kevin’s line off two people after us. This is from the back of Kevin’s line.
We slowly made our way through the store. If you’ve ever been in a line for Kevin you know that it can take a long time even if there arent that many people because (bless his heart) he spends an amazing amount of time with each person.
While we were in line, we met a guy and his adorable little ginger kid daughter, so was actually one of the animatronic mechanics on the Next Mutation! I wish I has snapped a picture of him…or got his name…I’m a bad person. So we continued to weave out way through the line. Ashley struck a pose while we moved along.
Getting warm….
Warmer…
On a side note, it was just about that time that Shatner showed up and was immediately mobbed by small press. He looked like something had recently tried to eat his face…SORRY BILL!
So, at long last, we make it to Kevin. Hugs were exchanged, and Ashley was swooning from the cheek kiss she got 😛
They were kinda trying to keep the line moving, so after making some plans for SDCC we got out of there…thankfully before the Shatner line started to mob into the store…freaky bastids.
Amazingly, we got out of the store without me buying anything (though I came very close to getting this REALLY nice Emma Frost statue). Did we leave there without any phat l00tz? Of course not :-P. I had brought the season 7 DVD that had the segment of Kevin and I in the special features, so he signed that for me.
I also asked him to sign a few more copies that we could give away here on the site throughout the year. So look for ways to get those from us in the future!
And that is about it for our Golden Apple coverage of FCBD 09. We sent Ms. Banshee out to Jetpack Comics today as well, where a number of the Mirage crew was signing. You can expect her write up later today 🙂
Thanks for reading!
Go Green Machine!
