Stay Classy San Diego
Comic-Con 2005 Wrap-Up (Part 1)
07/18/2005

We're back from the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con, and boy do we have a buttload of photos to show you! Since there are so many images, why waste time? Here is a look at our display, followed by our usual look at the action and people at the convention with some mildly amusing and witty commentary. You know you live for it, so don't complain. Stay tuned for more tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after, and the day after...

The Nightmare Before Christmas: So Popular it gets its own little display section!

Here we see Jim and Eric, 2 of the Four Horsemen getting ready to sign their Exclusive Randor for the fans. One isn't smiling, and the other is smiling too much to the point where it's almost creepy! We need the other 2 Horsemen to even this out!

As the folks were lining up to pick up our exclusives, Randy had to keep the little people behind our cabinets at bay. It's a good thing they like Cheez-Its.
Sandiego12
The exclusives line continues as the Leg Lamp calls in the crowd like a plastic beacon in the night.
Sandiego13
James Duval gets cozy with Randy Falk and the unpainted test shot of our Frank The Bunny figure in Cult Classics Series 2. Ironically enough, James Duval does not believe in time travel.
Sandiego14
James vogues with Frank the Bunny. When asked about the figure he was pretty much amazed with it and very excited to find out it was being made. Pretty much, he would have needed to change into a clean new bunny suit after seeing it.
Sandiego15
A Surfer Cabana Boy Variant of Kyle "Tankman" Windrix was available at the show, as was a display 2-up of CEO Joel Weinshanker. We're still not sure if Joel will be put into production. That salad behind them looks pretty good though.
Sandiego16
We always knew his paint jobs were out of this world, but we had no idea that Ed Repka was in fact an alien. That stern face just looks like its ready to bark out "Don't you dare call immigration".
Sandiego17
Once again, the line for our exclusives just kept growing. It's a good thing we waited till after the show to fire our pied piper. He managed to draw quite the crowd.
Sandiego18
Of all the horror licenses we have, nothing was more terrifying than the throngs of rabid zombies that attacked our booth. Though they craved plastic and resin instead of brains, it still was pretty scary.
Sandiego19
Ok, so now Jim is diligently signing while Eric seems to be somewhat disappointed. Where did that big kool-aid smile go? I'll tell you... someone let out a Stinkor.

And last, but not least, our own Brian Roll stands in front of a bunch of goodies that you could find at the Comic-Con. If he looks a little nervous, it's because he's trying not to laugh as those darn little people return to tickle his feet. Oh, those little scamps.
