Why would someone lug 50 to 70 boxes of swag into a show, none of which is for sale, and give those things away for 25 hours or so, over three days??!! The idea is simple. All year long, we work with excellent companies promoting killer projects they hope to bring to you. When we get the opportunity to set up an event, we take them with us. Run over to booth 1161 at New York Comic Con 09 and get in on the goods!
We'll fill the table at different points in the day to spread things out, so check back often. Grab a ticket and come back every hour to see if we've picked your number which will score you prizes from Sideshow Toys, EMCE, Kotobukiya, Yamato and more! Here is just a taste of what we'll have on hand...
THE SWAG PILE: Tentacle Grape Soda * Sideshow Toys Gift Cards & Calendars * Tales from the Darkside Light Up Keychains * Shonen Jump Book Samplers * Horror Clix * Wildeye Posters * VIZ Comic Samplers * Envy On The Coast & Danger Radio Wristbands * Nightmare Before Christmas & 3OH!3 Stickers
CONTEST PRIZES: Sideshow Toys Premium Format Statues and 12 Inch figures including Reservoir Dogs, Star Wars & Raiders of the Lost Ark * DVDs from Paramount * Anime Sets from VIZ * Amanda Palmer Tour Merch * Level 27 T Shirts * Night of the Living Dead Mego Action Figures * Smashing Pumpkins Hoodies
NEW PRODUCTS ON DISPLAY FROM POP CULTURE SHOCK COLLECTIBLES AND KOTOBUKIYA. BRING YOUR CAMERA!
Who else is coming? How about Joss Whedon, Takashi Miike, Seth Green, Chuck D, DMC, Doc Hammer, Milo Ventimiglia, The Cast of "Fringe", McG, The Cast and crew of Friday the 13th, Dave Gibbons, Amber Benson, The Cast of "The Greatest American Hero" and just about every legendary comic creator, artist and writer on the planet. We'll see you there!

ooo...boxes of Viz canvas bags just showed up. I knew people would have missed this dearly with Viz's absence so we called them up and made sure they were on board. You know how valuable bags and rubber bands become at conventions??!!

Ok, I almost had a cardiac arrest there as I thought the heading for this article read, "Check out Dread Central action figures... ".

I will have a lighter that pops out of my chest so the children can light up their cigarettes. My head will also pop off to reveal a utility knife. Functional!!
