Let's just say it was a whoooooooole lot easier going silver instead of white.
Only downside is I think this actually blows the Clobber-as-Crosshairs-head out of the water, which leaves me with an excess Clobber, thanks to me picking up a spare as I was on the fence about what would work best before!

 

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. I knew I'd missed someone, but I thought I'd included your name! And yes, I really am shocking at names. I for one think lanyards would be a great idea.

 

Tis a very model, and it would have made a great Iron fist. Considering we are getting new mini pretenders in the POTP line, you never know, amybe Hasbro will make an official Iron fist sooner rather than later.

One can never have enough clobbers!

 

Oh bugger, MMC Tyrantron has been delayed yet again. Was really looking forward to that big lug.

 

Timing's overrated anyway! Who needs it?  
In other news, it may not be from TFN, but Highbrow and Loudmouth are now on my way, courtesy of idToys! Now, to try and source a Brainstorm, so the completion gods can be satisfied.

 

And me...but I won't hold a grudge  

"All hail the golden one"

"Kev! Mate, put the kettle on...and what's the Villa score?"

 

Was TFN announced for next year?

 

The Armada fanzine given out at the Toy Fu table is now online with some extra bonus content. Check it out if you didn't manage to get a copy! armada fanzine 2017 final.pdf

 

"I can reliably inform you that they are losing, as usual."

 

 

I think this years was announced Feb/March? It gives them time to firm up stuff with the hotel and have something concrete to announce.

Pure speculation on my part though!

 

Great summary mate, the Octane and comic art really is very special and I appreciate it a huge amount.

Sorry the Brave panel was a disappointment, I was pretty sure I announced a time for the panel in the main hall right there and then at the beginning and end of the abortive Friday panel. The second Brave panel on Sat was awesome, though I could ill afford more time away from my stall.

Great weekend, far too busy, and didn't get time to properly speak to anyone as much as I wanted to, but the highlights (other than G2 Spider Octane) were probably Scubaboy and Colin (Specimen 17) putting stickers on brand new MISB Brave toys as we talked shit while I struggled to get the cabinets ready on Friday night.

 

Ahahah. Not started well have they. Terry's leg appear incapable of moving...

 

It's like he's in quicksand Liam! And a year today we lost Dalian Atkinson... what I'd give for him to be playing now in his 1993 guise!!!

God I'm old.

Terry is like the Ironhide of defenders, slow, but will put his head in where it hurts.

Going to open Sqweeks at some point this week. Looking forward to that little Wall:E rip off.

 

That is hilarious. I don't know toy fu, so they have an online shop?

 

No, we just show up at TF Nation every year (and Roll Out Roll Call whilst that was going on). All the profits raised go to the charity Mary's Meals. I've been making some fanzines to hand out free (paid for out of my own pocket, not the takings!!) with purchases as an added bonus and a bit of fun!

Edit: Just digging around my photo albums as I remembered something! 2011 was OVERLORD MOUNTAIN when we turned up to Auto Assembly with 11 Overlords. Sadly I only took a photo of 8 together as I'm rubbish!

 

I got mine there maybe 2 months ago. Ordered the regular one and they accidentally sent me the 'War' variant. Which was nice.

 

That's amazing, what a great way to use your hobby powers for good! The fanzine is funny is hell. Do you write it all yourself? Poor sideswipe! Just kidding, he's trash

 

I think they're out bit ill keep an eye on it. How is he? And what's the difference?

 

Nope, credits at the start! Some names people might recognise if they've been in uk fandom for a while! (And Ed and Gav were some of the guys who did the Animated comic this year!) I prefer to do stuff as a community project rather than just me as that feels a bit vain!

 

Congrats on doing such an amazing job. If I can get to the next con it'd be great to grab your next zine, along with whatever goodies you have.
