Holy moly. That was a whole lot of SDCC. Even down two regular hosts, but with one very special guest host, we barely got through the four franchises. The Other category had some great stuff we’ll get to in the next show. But, man, SDCC never ceases to impress. Of course, that’s the whole point, right? Companies supposedly plan their whole year around this event. With a small exemption for Toy Fair. But let’s be fair, it’s been going downhill for years now. What did you think? Did they blow you away? Are you getting too old for this stuff? What say you?
One thing I forgot to do as we were pressed for time was to ask all the hosts what their favorite reveal was from the show. I’ll keep mine to the four franchises as I usually do, but hopefully we can squeeze that in too on the next show. For Masters, as much as I love build-a-figures and vintage toy artwork homages, it does seem like more of the same. Their Chronicles Clawful is what really caught my eye. All I thought I wanted from Star Wars was a Rotta the Hutt in either Black Series or Vintage Collection. Well, I got both and hate the execution on both. So, even though I won’t buy it, my favorite Star Wars thing was the vintage decoed X-Wing. What’s funny is my favorite Transformer is something we didn’t even talk about. It was hidden in the official pics. Besides the Icons Decepticon symbol Megatron, everything else was pretty lackluster. Even more disappointing was G.I. Joe. I get it, they blow their load with Yo Joe June. Besides some name reveals, we really only got what is looking to be a disappointing Thundermachine.
Woo…Slick
