NEW YORK COMIC CON

[endless1]

Is Sideshow going to be at the New York Comic Con or is that beneath them?:emperor

 

[pixletwin]

"Beneath them" I believe.

 

[The Josh]

Beneath them?

Outside of NY does anyone really know about this event?

 

[Roc74]

I do and Im in georgia :maul

 

[Voorhees27]

When is this show? I was curious but didn't know.

 

[Darklord Dave]

They've never gone before. They like to save it and just go all out for SDCC.

My friend went last year, and although Sideshow wasn't there, they had another company (I forget who) giving out Sideshow Gift Cards. He managed to score one for me and it was worth $75!!!:chew

[Voorhees27]

U coming down?

No but I plan on making a trip this summer to San Diego to catch the SDCC though. I would love to come down to New York, my brother said its just like something out of a movie!

What do you guys think of this comic con? I'm going to New York for a week on April 21st but I can still change my plane tickets. Is the NYCC worth it?

I might be there. I'll be in Manhattan apr 16 to may. anyone have a website for more info on this?

Actually it's gotten to be quite a big event. It doesn't rival SDCC, yet, but it is growing. I've met a lot of out of town people the last 2 years, mostly from the south, and Midwest. It's a lot of fun, and I would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of going.

No, I'm sure it is a lot of fun. I wasn't sayint it wasn't at all. Just kind of maybe the reason SS doesn't go is the disatance and its not quite big enough "yet".

 

[Mobeill]

It sure is great Josh, and I find that there is greater access to the artists and creators in NY than in SD. I've experienced both, and have met and spoken to a lot of pros at the NYCC. At SDCC, it is almost impossible due to the number of people. I wish Sideshow would go, last year they were at the toyfair, which was the week before the NYCC, so I understood why they weren't there. But man, I wish they would attend! Plus The Javits Center is kinda small compared to San Diego Convention Center, so if this thing gets any bigger, they are going to need a bigger space for it. Maybe SS doesn't go because of that, as their booth is usually one of the bigger ones at the Cons. Do they go to any other con besides San Diego?

i've been to both NYCC and SDCC theres NO comparison...SDCC is where its at.

I've been to SDCC 3 times now and this will be my fourth. I've not had a problem getting back to the artist area mainly cause there isn't nearly as many people back there as there is around the SS, GG, Hasbro booths. I would like to maybe get out there to this someday as I'd l ike to visit NY just once. As far as other shows they go to? Other than say a Celebration Event or ORC Event I don't think so.
