Cool Merch & Exhibits At Comic Con 2009

Looking for something cute to poop on? How about Hello Kitty toilet paper?

These Zip-A-Gang toys are tons of fun. They all feature cool zippers on their mouths and the giant back pack versions can be undone to unveil a  stylin’ sleeping bag.

If you’re a big fan of Star Wars, you may enjoy these re-envisioned storm trooper toys.

But perhaps you’re more of a Sponge Bob fan. There were two to choose from this year, regular or Lego.

I don’t even know what this guy is from, but his huge inflatable booth presence was impossible to ignore.

Personally, I’m a big fan of Wolverine, and the life-sized wax sculpture didn’t disappoint.

All weekend long, fans flocked around this giant Transformer statue. It was pretty impressive at a massive 10+ feet.

This Lord Voldermort statue was also massively impressive.

Boba Fett also looked pretty scary. No M.C. Chris songs for this big guy.

Lastly, but not least(ly), was the famed Dalek from Dr. Who at the BBC booth.

Giant Stitch Vinyl Toys -Comic Con

I love these vinyl Stitch toys on display at Comic Con 2009. I have to admit, he’s one of my favorite Disney characters and to see his body be turned into so many awesome pieces of art was just plain fascinating.

Great Craigslist Ad

“Nemesis required. 6-month project with possibility to extend

I’ve been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I’m 35 years old, happily married with two kids and I have a good job in insurance. But somethings missing…I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline pumping again. An addiction would be nice, but, in short, I need a nemesis. I’m willing to pay $1000 up front for you services as an arch enemy over the next six months. Nothing crazy. Steal my parking space, knock my coffee over, trip me when Im running to catch the Trolley or a cab and occasionally whisper in my ear, “Ahha, we meet again”…Just keep me on my toes. Complacency will be the death of me…Evil sinister laugh preferred…British accent preferred. Thirst for Evil Required.”

Comic Con Updates

Our laptop has been in the shop, so we should start getting more Comic-Con updates in the next few days, but for the time being, perhaps you would like to see a round up of some of the other sites that covered the convention.

Wired has a great collection of tattoos at Comic-con.

The Official Star Wars blog owes it to its readers to have the best Star Wars costumes at the convention.

Joystiq has a variety of costumes, some of which I posted, others I didn’t even see.

CinemaBlend also has some I posted and some I didn’t notice. It’s insane to try to get every costume there -possibly impossible.

Yahoo has a very nice costume gallery. Be sure to see the whole thing.

And lastly, I Am Bored has 13 great pics.

25 Hot Comic Con Girls

PhotobucketThere’s this silly stereotype that girls at Comic Con are fat, pimply, wear glasses and are otherwise just icky. That image is not only sexist and stupid, but grossly inaccurate. In fact, there are some amazingly HOT girls there. I didn’t even picture a third of the good looking girls I saw there and I still got some pictures of great looking girls that definitely defy the stupid preconceived notion of the ugly geek girl being the only female at Comic Con.

Of course, that’s not to say there weren’t total l00zers at the Con, don’t you worry, those pics are coming soon, as are some great interviews and some pics of the merch, etc. But for now, satisfy your sweet tooth with these little bits of sugar. (Again, click for larger images.)

Casting for the Creepy Perv Next Door

Are you short, hairy and stinky? Guess what? Adult Swim is looking for you. Cartoon Network’s Aqua Teen Hunger Force is now casting Carl look-alikes to star in their first ever live action show. The search begins at the San Diego Comic Con on Saturday, July 26 between 3-6 P.M. at the Omni Hotel. From the press release:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of Adult Swim’s most popular animated action-adventure, comedy-dramas, follows the strange everyday lives of three human-sized food products who live in New Jersey. Their next-door neighbor is Carl, a simple man who’s endearingly sweaty, hairy, lewd, fashion-challenged, horny, nasty and oftentimes annoying. All men remotely fitting that description are encouraged to show up. It would also help to be bald, have a mustache and wear a dirty white tank top, sweat pants and flip-flops.

Of course, I will be at the convention covering all the goodness and will see if I can get some footage of the best wannabe Carls. If you do look like this, I highly advise you to apply as it may be your only chance to ever get laid. Ever.
