I
posted another update with some photos of the souvenirs and the boxed set that I bought.
I got the 12" exclusive and registered as one of the first 100 so I also got one of the 1:6 "leather" convention jackets. The freebie with the 12" set is a black robot shark like the one included in the box. The 12" souvenir figure is a Henchman. He's a vintage style figure with blone flocked foreign head (If you have any of the club membership figs, he's like that) and Kung Fu hands. He has a full outfit including weapons and makes a really cool addition to the Spy Island set.
I also bought the Q-Force set with Agent Natalie Poole and Lt. Dolphin. I thought they looked like a cool set in the display cabinet but after I got them out I'm cooling on Natalie, who was the main reason I bought the set. She uses a Mortal Combat mold and the underside of her hair isn't painted (head is cast in flesh tone). It just doesn't make a great figure. Dolphin is fine, though. I'd like to get the 3-pack and the Car as they're all really nice items, but the price is kind of higher than what I want to pay. I've already dropped a lot of cash and the sales floor isn't even open yet.
Anyway, I also picked up last year's para drop figure, Crimson Guard, and an exclusive 40th Soldier, which was really cheap, only $20.
There were a lot of people buying a lot of stuff tonight. I was kind of surprised even though I have read reports in previous years about the amount of stuff people have picked up on registration night. If I had unlimited funds I probably would have bought both con packages and all the souvenirs, and there are still a few other club items I'd pick up duplicates of.
If anyone want specific photos of something, LMK, and I'll take them if I can.
