Unfortunately this isn’t our Comic-Con episode. Even more unfortunate is we’re not even at Comic-Con. What we are is 3 in about 4 weeks. So that basically means we’re busy as hell. We will do a recap like we always have in about a week. If you wanna...

I am about talked the hell out. If you didn’t know this is the first time we’ve actually had a booth at a con . Denver Comic Con was absolutely amazing and far exceeded our expectations for its inaugural year. Our table was located in Podcast Peak. It was...

I feel like I’m truly getting old. Not physically, but mentally. What’s funny is I’m not really getting old, my priorities are just changing. I used to think, I’ll never do this or I’ll never worry about that. The truth is there are...

What started out to be a couple quick segments to promote the upcoming G.I. Joe sequel, Retaliation, and What’s on Joe Mind’s (WOJM) coverage of Joecon 2012 turned into a marathon of good times. That is at least for Gary “Commander and Chief”...

Five years in a row. Just thinking about it makes my wallet want to cry and my heart soar. Although I always exercise amazing restraint in the dealer room, I always buy all the exclusives. That right there puts you $300+ in the hole before the show even starts....

On my own. Going down the only road I’ve ever known. And that road leads to Botcon, solo. It’s pretty fitting considering I went to my first Botcon five years ago by myself and this maybe my last. It’s interesting how meaningless some things seem...

I knew that I would. After several “meh” episodes, I finally had a great time recording this cast. With everything going on (see the last cast’s post), it really does feel good to be enjoying myself again. Now if the rest of the community could get...

It’s that time of year again. It’s the Super Bowl of action figure events. Where plastic addicts from all around the world rejoice and/or bitch about all the new toys we’ll be getting. Unfortunately my heart just wasn’t in it this year. We had to cancel our trip to...

Do you like spoilers? Do you want to know the newest information as soon as possible? I don’t, at least not really. That may sound strange coming from someone who peddles toy news, but that’s probably the primary issue. I can’t remember the last time...
