Had a great time as usual at Chiller, and managed to snag some cool stuff as well. I got a Screamin' Rocketeer vinyl kit from Alternative Images for $15 (was supposed to be $25, but the left hand had broken off the arm, so Jane reduced the price). I also found an unbuilt Billiken She-Creature for $150 at Village Comics' table and snapped that up too! I also managed to find the color version of the Sideshow "London After Midnight" 12 inch figure-- it was in a damaged box, so Little Coffee Shoppe of Horrors let me have it for just $15! Tom Parker had the first Sideshow Buffy 12 inch figure at his table in a damaged box too-- he cut the price from $25 to $19 for me (not coincidentally, that happened to be all the cash I had left!
)
As for autographs, I got Dee Wallace to sign my DVD of "The Howling"-- Kevin McCarthy signed it too, and just waved me off when I asked him how much he wanted for the autograph! John Wesley Shipp signed my DVD boxed set of the Flash TV series, and also the base for my IDC Flash kit-- he seem very pleased by the idea that someone had done a model of him!
All in all, it was a great weekend, and I have to thank my good friend Ed Bowkley for his kindness and especially for taking the time & trouble to mold a small piece for me-- kudos to the Diceman!
