NYCC

    Hello peoples. Today I'm talking about the loot I got from New York Comic Con.

So I came to Comic Con with 215$ (more money than my dad had to spend.) At first I didn't see much that I liked there that was reasonably priced until I saw this poster for the only anime show I watch, Attack on Titan for 20$. The poster has all of the titans that appear in the show to be intelligent (wording it carefully here to avoid spoilers) lined up in a row on a black background. After that it was easier to spot things that I liked. The next thing I saw I was coming in to a booth that had the stuffed chibi aliens that I've seen the chestburster and facehugger of, I had already gotten the chestburster and was considering getting the facehugger when I turned and saw the most adorably terrifying thing in my life. It was a stuffed chibi alien as an adult that was a foot tall. IT EVEN SHOT OUT ITS INNER MOUTH AHEN YOU SQUEEZED ITS CHEST. It was 20-30$. After that I got a 3 and 3/4 inch predator and terminator figures that were retro styles for 20$ each. Next I finally relented and got a 90 dollar action figure of The Spitter from Aliens: Colonial Marines. I was nervous at first that it would be a disappointment for a such a high price but everything about it was top quality and it's the best figure I have. The paint is excellent, the articulation is excellent and the joints are very sturdy so your not afraid to actually pose it. The tail is awesome and long and had a bendy wire in it. It came with a small stand with a peg and a broken tube with a facehugger. The facehugger is probably the best one I have also. Lastly I was roaming around and I spotted a booth that was totally devoted to Attack on Titan where I got an awesome hoodie. My only complaint about it is that the zipper was way to cheap to work even once but it was still a good buy for only 35$. I thought that would be my last purchase as I was running out of money but I saw these 4 imported alien figures from china for 20$ dollars each I was ready to say no because of how much I had spent already but then my dad asked which 2 do I want and I was not arguing. I got the boiler and the leader, also both from aliens colonial marines. They are nice sculpts but a bit lacking in paint and the articulation makes me very nervous. The figures also came with 6 extra hands which were nice on the leader (black) but were all almost identical on the boiler (white). They also came with miny stands, eggs, and facehuggers.

So that was my comic con loot. Bye.
