Official SDCC 2008 Preview Thread (Spoilers)

I'm bored so I'm going to start posting preview stuff here over the coming weeks.
Posting it here cause the focus will be on western stuff.
Alot of it will probably be kinda hard to look at like last year....

 

StrangeCo (which I tend to like)
MARS-1 Observer GID

 

I.W.G. Zipper Pulls including the bear (shown) Collect all 17???

 

StrangeCo booth

 

tokidoki x Tokyoplastic Geisha

 

Tokidoki Kaniza "limited" to "1000" pieces....

 

Those stupid sharks return again....

 

Some sort of MTV toy called "The MAXX"

 

Yellow Domo from Dark Horse:

 

More Strangeco. No thanks on this one called Cap’n Rotnclaw

 

The Maxx was an image comic book, illustrated and I think created by Sam Keith, one of my favorites back then. They made a tv show which i think aired on MTV about the same time as Aeon Flux. They had a limited Maxx figure at NYCC at it was bulky and sweet, this one doesn't look as impressive.

 

The Observer looks cool when glowing, but does nothing for me in daylight. Maybe with some paint it'd be better.

 

The Maxx harkens back to the early days of Image Comics. As I recall, it was the only Image title that managed to hold my attention. Sam Kieth's artwork was teriffic. The Mtv show was pretty well done as I recall. I loved the McFarlane Toys action figure of The Maxx, but I don't find the figure in the photo above very interesting.

I like some of Strangeco's stuff, but nothing pictured above really grabs me. I like the Mars-1 Observer, but I'm with ---NT--- on this one. It doesn't look so good with the lights on. What the hell is that Cap'n Rotnclaw supposed to be?

 

the Cap’n Rotnclaw is created by a pretty interesting artist, Greg Simkins, but his characters don;t make a good jump into 3D

 

Its half american

SDCC Vegitius GID Version from Studio Kaiju x Marmit Limited to 50

 

One of these is most likely the SDCC color. It's a KR toy but I know there are some Ledbetter collectors around here. JLED's Unicornasaurus:

 

blech.

 

I mean, I know using derogatory homosexual slanderous terms to describe something is in poor taste...BUT...

 

Dude, the Unicorn is AWESOME!

 

FUGLY.

 

The Mars-1 GID is pretty cool...!!!

I have most of them already aside from the two newer ones... might have to pick this up...!!!

 

JLed's My Little Pony Unicorn....?

 

Oh yeah? Which half? LOL!!!

 

yech! i don't see a single thing in this preview to get excited about from sdcc this year....sure hope it gets better! or i'm stayin home!

 

I'm digging that Maxx thing. The Maxx is one of the best comics ever written. Sam Keith is a friggin' genius! .....is this a statue or a toy? looks statueish.
