Beddie Buddies Gumby.


Street Sharks!


A vintage Star Wars Millenium Falcon and Super Powers Darkseid Destroyer.


How about you give them some super blood?


Yes indeed, there exists a Freddy Krueger Yo-Yo.


Ninja Force Snake-Eyes and Leonardo cosplaying as a Native American for some reason.


Fisher-Price Adventure People and some old Gremlins toys.


Super Shredder and Ace Duck!


Still the best Godzilla toy ever made.


Dino-Riders, sans their dinosaurs.


More miscellaneous toys.


And more toys, including a few classic M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in the corner.


Pierre Bernard and Wonder Woman. Good times!


A Secret of Monkey Island statue featuring Guybrush squaring off against LeChuck.


Custom mech-suit man destroys all in his path.


Metal sculptures of many of your favorite pop culture characters.


Oh... if only I could afford this badass Gremlin.

The Baroness and another old Robin figure.


Sneakers with superhero color schemes.


The Dungeons & Dragons Fortress of Fangs playset!

And now I conclude this pictorial with my favorite photo of the day:


This kid was frozen... absolutely FROZEN in uneasy dread as R2-D2 approached him.
You could tell he was too terrified to move out of fear that R2 might attack. This went on for a solid minute.
Classic!

Alright, that about does it for my coverage of WonderCon 2012. Looking forward to attending again next year, and if you have the chance, I suggest you do the same cuz you'll have a blast. Until then, I hope you enjoyed the photos. Adios.

Do you plan on posting a "Things I Saw At..." videos for this convention?

That looks the Toy Hunter in the picture with the GI Joe Defiant. Was that his booth? I wonder how much the Defiant was going for.

I've Gotta think that a Wool T-Rex is the worst kind of dinosaur... even if you survive it's viscous attack you are still gonna be all hot and itchy.

WhiteRoseBrian - Nope, just took photos at this event.

ForgottenInvader - I believe it was. There was a film crew there just after I finished taking photos of the booth. It didn't have a price tag on it, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap. The U.S.S. Flagg was listed for $7500.

Wow, I never expected to see a Troma booth at a con, at least outside of NJ. I wish I had known my old toys would be worth so much 30 years later. A friend of mine still has most of his GI Joe stuff including the Flagg. Even seeing it today it seems huge, I can't imagine how it must have looked to an 8-year old.

Troma are always at SDCC too. I've met Lloyd a couple of times there.

Lost the perspective on Tron figures and thought that those are human-sized and for some reason hanging under the ceiling.
