I enjoyed the area, and the beaches, the whole ambiance of SDCC was really cool. But 150,000 people in one area really isn't fun.

I'd imagine nor is the smell...

I heard one year Mattel was handing out 'Moss Man' scented (basically pine tree scent) deodorant to people from their booth as both a joke and probably to give people a hint around there.

I was there that year, and damnit people really did need Moss Man's help. In fairness, though, it was hot as balls at the con that year (last year wasn't nearly as bad). I showered thoroughly every morning and still felt less than fresh by mid afternoon. The people who didn't even bother showering because they were standing in lines all night, though... those fools were kickin' like Chun-Li.

Toadtrooper: C'mon, the blades aren't *that* heavy! If they were, I'd be more worried about the shoulders bearing the weight than the elbows.

Any word on if they are going to release this guy like the did Leo? I mean I know he is a little more money then I want to or can afford to spend right now, but I don't want to miss out and end up paying twice as much later.

Wait, so there's really Moss-Man deodorant? Will we be fortunate enough to find Stinkor deodorant this year?

I think most people at the con are already using that one.

When did this thread become about smelly conventions?

Well, the Japanese actually had fart battles. Does that count as another, albeit less contemporary, smelly convention?

If you think I'm making this up, I'm really not. I'm just really disappointed that we didn't get any of this historical context in TMNT III.

Oh, and some of the illustrations are not work/kid/someone easily grossed out or offended appropriate.

That's a cool looking box I'm hoping to pick one up

*Zulithe* · 07-18-2013, 01:36 PM

Keeping an eye out on amazon... last year the exclusive fig showed up there for advertised price, hoping it happens again

DonatelloFan1984 · 07-18-2013, 09:14 PM

My younger brother who is stationed out in San Diego for the Marine Corps just picked me up two of these Shredder figures!!!! He got one of them signed by Kevin Eastman as well!!!! I can't wait to get them. As soon as they arrive I will post pictures! Also if you are going to buy one to open be sure to make sure it is complete. A few of them have been leaving the con with missing helmets in the package. Good luck to all who is looking for them.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-18-2013, 09:47 PM

If anyone ends up with an extra they want to sell let me know will ya?

DonatelloFan1984 · 07-18-2013, 09:52 PM

My brother and a friend are going back tomorrow. It is one per person. I will see if they can snag a couple more. If they are able to secure a couple more I will let everyone know!

Scanderson · 07-19-2013, 08:57 AM

I got up to purchase my exclusive, and the lady working the register said "just a second, I think I have a signed one you can have." Suure enough, she came back with one signed by Kevin Michael Richardson!! I also got that same one signed by Kevin Eastman and Steve Varner. Pretty cool addition to the collection with the three signatures!!!

pihb · 07-19-2013, 10:25 AM

I'd be willing to buy an extra and cover shipping costs. Shoot me a PM

Ryan. · 07-19-2013, 10:27 AM

That Shredder is righteous. I'll be keeping an eye out for one.

carloschamp · 07-19-2013, 10:50 AM

Aw man I have to get one

pihb · 07-19-2013, 11:13 AM

Going on ebay for $70-$100 bucks right now. Guess being $32 to start and the convenience of not having to go or wait in line. Not too bad

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-19-2013, 06:31 PM

Have to say I'm a little disappointed that they didn't offer him online like they did Leo.
