About a week ago, tested.com posted a video on their youtube channel about Adam making a leather gorget for a Kylo Ren costume he was working on to go along with the screen accurate replica helmet he had just purchased from Anovos. After watching the video, I said to Mrs. Griffin, "I have a feeling Adam Savage will be walking the Con floor dressed as Kylo Ren, and he'll be a bastard to find, since there will no doubt be dozens of Kylos crawling all over the place. Fast forward to today, and I cross paths with Norm Chan who runs Tested.com . I say hi, he does, too, and hurries away as fast as he can considering the thousands of people ahead of him. A minute later, as I walk in about the same direction, albeit much slower, I see a man about six feet away dressed in a very nice Kylo Ren costume and hear him say something to a person that was kind of inaudible. I think to myself, "That sounded a good bit like Adam Savage." So I say to him, "excuse me. Hi." He walks over to me a bit, and I lean in and quietly ask, "Are you Adam Savage?" to which he replied in a muffled but still recognizable voice (to me anyway, after watching 14 seasons of Mythbusters and numerous videos), "Yes, I am." I shook his hand and asked if I could get a photo with him. I didn't get a pic with him, but I also met this guy on the convention floor, as well.

Some of the order got fucked up there. Photobucket bulk link posting whateverit'scalled is less than perfect.

NICE!!! So that was your Vasquez shot. Best one I've seen.
What did Whedon talk about?
I'm conflicted about it, but I think I need those Ivy and Harley Bombshell figures.

It was. Thanks.
Whedon talked about the need to kill characters, trailers that give away the whole movie, originality, and other stuff that I'm not remembering.
Not a fan of Ivy's face or the joints in Harley's tummy. The Batwoman figure is gorgeous IMO, though.

Awesome, that has annoyed me a lot lately in trailers.
I still wish he hadn't killed those characters in Serenity. I rewatched the whole series a couple weeks ago and was riding this great high rediscovering it, then the movie got me so depressed.
I think we can both agree that Wonder Woman's face is a clusterfuck.

It's actually not so bad in person from a technical aesthetic standpoint. The features and sculpt are actually pretty nice, but the expression is questionable at best.

Yeah, it's mostly that she looks crazier than Harley.

Quick thoughts from what I remember of that first awesome scroll-through:
-I want that NECA Deadpool in a normal goddamn size -Cosplay Carol Burnett "Gone With The Wind" Scarlet O'Hara wins all of cosplay forever. But the neutered Scooby Doo was pretty good. -That WW throwback psychotic destroyer or all things good face is the worst thing ever sculpted. -The WW with the motorcycle is one of the greatest WW things ever made. -It looked like massive fun. -Good to see Stewie. -I need that Stargate mask and McClane wallet. -Want Vasquez. -What the fat crappin' Jesus did they do to Dazzler's head and upper body?! -Lack of tiger nipples is just weird. -Those movie Turtles make me wish I was a fan. -$12,000 - $15,000 for the fucking Trojan rabbit? That's not even their best movie. Balls. -I love that Romero has the mustache he refused to shave for the show. -Chris Pine has a weird fucking head. -The Reaper has the most retarded hands anyone could ever devise. -All 4 Ghostbusters in the 2 pics after Slimer look like they're watching something filthy they should NOT be watching. What the fuck? -Very disappointed in that Jessica Jones figure. So awful. Castle sucks too. -Snowtrooper!!! EEEEP! -Griff and Gonzo = stellar. -Boo in costume = fuck yeah.

frinspar, how is your insight always right about everything!? Except for that one thing, hopefully, still.

Dropbox is okay. Ish.
Just need to replace some text in each address so they post publicly.

Photobucket's a jerk. I got an email from them the other day saying I needed to pay them to post my pictures on websites. That was the sole purpose I've used their service for years and now they make it premium? If they're going out of business I can't blame them, but really weak and has rendered their service useless so I guess I hope they go out of business?

I was actually fucking paying them. Now they want me to pay more. A lot more. I cancelled my account, but they're keeping the shitty free thing intact. Some months ago, I contacted customer service about an issue. I got an email back from "Todd," or whatever, asking for more info. Emailed back and forth a couple of times with "Todd" a couple of times not being helped in any specific way and finally realized "Todd" was a fucking bot.
