Hey all,
Just got in from Preview Night. And it was effing insane. Seriously, there were so many people there would would have sworn it was a regular night from last year. So you know how my posts work. I tell my storys through pictures. So lets get to em!
So I guess I should start out by telling you that that snazzy picture I started this post with was a green screen setup they have at the Ubisoft Smash booth.
They had Smash and Turtles In Time there. Which both seem to be new builds. I didnt cover much of either of them tonight cause I was hunting exclusives and they asked me to interview their Producers on Friday morning anyway. Here is a shot of that blue screen setup they had:
Next we have a few pictures of the Heavy Metal Booth:
The Mirage Booth was pretty much empty, but set up…So I took an opportunity for a little make believe time… “Yes…I’m Steve Lavinge…Sure I’ll sign your book!” And before you get all uppity, we staged this. That book belongs to PlastronCafe of the Technodrome, who I hung out with a lot today:
Next, onto the neca booth!
We did get confirmation that those color variants of the Con Exclusive April ARE real, and scheduled to release:
FIRE! (This wasn’t at the NECA booth…it was just cool.)
These last couple pictures show what was probably the most exciting things for me. I got the opportunity to talk with Steve Varner for about 40 minutes.
Steve, as you may know, sculpted a LARGE number of the original Playmates line. He even sculpted the very first ninja turtle…which…HE HAD WITH HIM!
After crapping my pants over that, it was time to leave, and share my all too short day with you guys. But I will be getting up bright and early tomorrow and will be bringing you Kevin’s Panel LIVE (I hope)! Otherwise, we will have it up on our YouTube Channel immediately after wards. See you in the morning 🙂
