Yeah I didn't have anything for Kojin-san to sign so I decided to get the cards. And Josh Burcham did it, think it was for five bucks.  

 

Besides the cards I had him sign my Transformers Generations book from Million Press Publishing since it had an interview with him.

$5 for that art by Josh Burcham is a sweet deal!

 

SDCC sigs  

I have some more that are TF related but I'll upload them tomorrow.

 

2 hours after I left work at 5 PM, who shows up there but my idol, KEVIN FREAKIN' SMITH!!!

My sister was nice enough to get me his autograph though. Here it is:

 

It's great you got a autograph from your idol. You owe your sister big time  

 

Apparently turbobluestreak REALLY wanted to see more of my TF signed stuff, so here you go  
I may have posted these before, but oh well.
More to come...

TF soundtracks signed by Vince DiCola



Beast Wars stuff signed by their respective voice actors



Botcon exclusive Sandstorm signed by Scott McNeil and Jim Byrnes. The Silverbolt is signed by Scott too, but it's hard to see. The story behind that is, I didn't get to see his panel at Botcon 2001 because I was waiting in line for 3 hours to get the Bell, Berger, and Stephenson signatures. I happened to run into Scott and Garry Chalk at the airport and he was kind enough to sign the Silverbolt, but we didn't have a Sharpie so he had to use a ball point  

 

Greetings from Canada again! Here is my haul from Fanexpcanada 2016. I finally had the opportunity to meet Rob Paulsen face to face and I've never meet a more kinder genuine person in my life. My family spoke with him for a good while about turtles and Transformers, even gave him a G1 Slingshot.


Rob Paulsen added to my wife's TMNT plaque.


Rob Paulsen autograph on Generations Quickslinger MOSC


Rob Paulsen autograph on G1 Superion Giftset MIB as Slingshot and Air Raid.


Maurice LaMarche autograph added to G1 Metroplex Box.

I'll update this post with higher quality images once I return home.

Nice items! The ones I was most excited to see are the autographs you got from John Stephenson, i never had the pleasure of meeting him, so many toys out now that he could have signed!

So generous of you to do so! Someday I have to meet Rob Paulsen to have him sign my Pinky and the Brain print (already signed by Maurice LeMarche). That Metroplex box needs an autograph from Bud Davis (also the voice of Dirge). I think he's only made 1 convention appearance so far, at a Chicago horror show. Charles Adler (Silverbolt) shouldn't be too hard to track down!

 

On this past Labor Day weekend I went to Sac Anime Summer 2016 and got these autographs:

Transformers Prime Starscream by Steve Blum (also had him sign the Botcon 2013 Starscream card, not shown)


Mr Blum also added his signature to this Batman Arkham Origins set (already signed by Kelly Hu for Lady Shiva, just need Tara Strong for Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn):


John DiMaggio added his signature to the Transformers Age of Extinction Autobots United set over Crosshairs (it's kinda hard to see, I also got it signed by Peter Cullen over Optimus, hoping someday to get Ken Watanabe for Drift and John Goodman for Hound to complete the set - no va for Bumblebee):


Sam Rigel on FOC Starscream:


Dante Basco on Avatar the Last Airbender Prince Zuko:


The show featured some of the production team behind the pc game American McGee's Alice as well as va Roger Jackson:



I skipped the last day of Sac Anime to go to San Francisco Comic Con on Sunday to get these autographs:

Legend of Korra statue signed by va Janet Varney:


Batman Arkham Knight Catwoman signed by Grey DeLisle:


And finally, Ian McDiarmid, the Emperor from Star Wars.

 

Figured I'd post this in here as well, in tribute to the late Mr. Croker.

 

As you can see, my collection only consists of Steve Blum, but that's because I only attended one convention that was nearby.

 

Al as always an impressive haul! Can't wait to see your Longbeach Comic con haul.

UndertakerPrime Thanks for posting your transformers collection and Mr. Croker, sad to hear he passed.

Ratatoskr nice Steve Blum collection, I still need to track him down.

I was really lucky to have found out that he was going to a convention during a summer weekend just around 10 minutes away from where I live. I doubt my parents would drive me all the way to Chicago or some other large Midwestern city just for a convention.

 

I went to Long Beach Comic Con over the past weekend, had such a blast! VA's from Transformers, GI JOE, Batman the Animated Series and Justice League as well as much of the cast of superb but short-lived Firefly tv show.

The main reason I went to the show was to meet Arthur Burghardt, the iconic voice of Devastator and Destro from GI JOE who made his first ever convention appearance, he's a super nice guy! He signed my CW Devastator boxset "Prepare for extermination!"



Of course I had to have Mr Burghardt sign a 25th JOE Destro figure. Michael Bell was also at the convention, he signed a 25th Duke for me this time, always awesome to see him:


Troy Baker signed FOC Jazz and Kickback as well as RID Steeljaw:


Phil Lamarr signed Animated Jazz and Oilslick, he mentioned he worked hard to follow the high standard set by Scatman Crothers in voicing Jazz:


Mr. Lamarr was also the va for Green Lantern from the Justice League. The two Wonder Woman figures were signed by her va, Susan Eisenberg:


A real treat getting these signed on Batman day (9-17-2016) by MR. Batman himself, Kevin Conroy and Loren Lester (Robin):


Loren Lester was also the va for GI JOE's Barbecue. He and Zack Hoffman (Zartan) curiously chose to sign the back of the 25th JOE figures:


Morgan Lofting and Zack Hoffman on the 25th Cobra boxset, if only I could have gone to last year's Long Beach Comic Con, the va for Storm Shadow, Keone Young was a guest at that show:


I found a Sideshow Baroness at the show for a great price and so had to have Mrs. Lofting sign it:


Adam Polinsky was the "Headmaster" from Transformers Animated, he says he became a va just to have a figure made of a character he voiced:


Firefly was one of my favorite shows, so I was stoked to meet Adam Baldwin and Jewel Straite. I tried looking for a Prime Breakdown for Adam to sign but no luck:


Since Funko didn't make any toys of Summer Glau's character (River Tam), I got a photo of her from her table:


I definitely saw some familiar faces of fellow Botcon attendees at the show, since I was mostly in lines I unfortunately couldn't say "hi" but I'd love to see what they got signed by Arthur Burghardt!

 

congratulations on an impressive haul, I'm super jealous and kicking myself right now for not following through on your generous offer. Fingers crossed TFCON will get him.

Thanks tbs! I'll be eagerly anticipating seeing your hauls from TFCON! I did let Mr. Burghardt know how much TF fans would love to meet and thank him for the great job he did as Devastator and Destro, so hopefully he will do more upcoming shows!

 

Damn, son.
Arthur Burghardt, Batman TAS, Troy Baker, Phil Lamarr, Morgan Lofting...
I wish I could have been there.

I so would have gotten Mr. Burghardt so sign a Gobots Turbo MOC. Devastator might be more iconic, but he actually never said much. Turbo, OTOH, was a main character and appeared in the majority of the Gobots eps.

 

It was a spectacular lineup of great guests. Really surprised Botcon or Joecon could never snag Mr. Burghardt. The next Long Beach Comic Con is set for Labor Day weekend of 2017 which is usually when Sac Anime Summer runs, so I'll have to see which one has the better lineup. If I could have gotten one on its card I would have loved getting Mr. Burghardt to sign a Gobots Cop-Tur but I am very happy and satisfied with getting Devastator and Destro autographed!
