sideshow collectibles @ san diego comic convention 2008
WHAT folks can get to see at the Sideshow Collectibles San Diego Comic Convention 2008 - Booth#1929:01. Dynamic product displays for Star Wars, GI Joe, Hellboy II, Marvel Comics & more.
02. Special guest appearance by Cassandra Peterson as ‘Elvira’ (Saturday, 2pm)
03. Crowd-gathering contests, trivia & demonstrations (not the disgrunted protesting-type of "demonstrations", I hope :p)
04. Hosted Open-Case Booth Tours on Thursday & Sunday (10am)
05. Meet and Greet with Sideshow Collectibles' Artists and Staff members, including the Design and Development Team and The Gore Group Design Team (CLICK for list of personnel attending) ... the pic below is Sideshow's Production Blog-header, and may yet hint at what works are in-progress, yeh?
I'm personally anticipating previews / sneaks of their 1/6th-action figure lines for GI Joe (perhaps a Cobra Commander sneak!) and Star Wars, and altho tis not mentioned nor listed, hopefully displays from Hot Toys and Medicom Toy - for which Sideshow is distributing Stateside (which may mean The Dark Knight, Joker and Vehicles?) ... and I can only but await in anticipation for online pics to surface :)
