    Seriously. If I had a collection of these I'd hide them like they were bestiality porn. What woman would date a guy after seeing his collection of resin hentai statues?

    BTW, thanks i09 for covering NYCCC so well. I never had anything against your being west coasty for the most part but this is the first time I've seen the organization make a real effort on an east coast event. Thanks.


    Although they're regional, I do wish you had mentioned the Vampire Cowboy Theatre Company which performed tasty fight scenes several times during the con.

    @Fanboy185: We were absolutely going to cover Vampire Cowboys but darn that Joss Whedon he took up too much of our squee time. Would it change things if we tracked them down and did another post?

    Lol at the overthetop zombie Spider-Man, although he doesn't have his torso cloven in midway for total accuracy.

    I absolutely love the banana man. I kept walking out of Panels and seeing the Banana just walking in the crowd. I would run towards him to get a photo and he would walk away really fast until I lost him. This repeated four more times until I finally got to him only to find out he was a Watchmen Banana!

    Is there any way to tell if the 'scientist' looking guy is supposed to be Dexter or Doctor Horrible?


    And I mean Dexter's Lab, not that other Dexter show. (Besides, how would anybody be able to tell if you dressed up as THAT Dexter?)
