SDCC 2016: How Much Did JC Spend?

by John Carle, Aug 2 2016 // 1:00 PM

JC Spend SDCC

Going to Comic-Con in San Diego is a commitment. It’s not just the travel, the hotels, the Lyfts and Ubers, the food, and the drinks (…oh so many drinks), it’s much more. The floor of SDCC is the ultimate test of maintaining your composure and measuring your self-restraint.

And many, if not all of us, fail. New vinyl collectibles, classic non-sports trading cards, prints, sketches, autographed memorabilia, comics, nostalgia filled unpackaged toys, trades, meet & greets are just the start of the ways that your wallet can bottom out within just a few hours if you aren’t careful.

I, like many, try to go down with a plan on what I will be purchasing. As a Comic-Con veteran of nine SDCC’s (eight of them being consecutive), what I look for in advance is the list of the exclusives. This gives a good baseline for what will most likely be purchased.

Impulse Buys: The Danger of Mash’Ems

by John Carle, Oct 21 2013 // 2:00 PM

As mentioned before, the geek lifestyle isn’t a cheap one. Even when we find things we like that aren’t individually expensive, we end up buying enough of them at once so it ends up costing us more than we would have wanted in the first place on one single larger purchase. That’s the danger of the impulse buy.

It is easier to mentally justify to ourselves a spend if we get more items out of it, even if it costs more than what we wanted to spend because we as geeks value both quality AND quantity. As long as something isn’t terrible or poorly made, it is good enough for us. And if we can get a bunch of them on the cheap, we want them all.

This week on Whiskey & Waffles, WallE and I address our recent disaster of impulse buying with Mash’Ems. After WallE had already begun purchasing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, I got pulled into the mix too which resulted in the blind box purchase of some TMNT, Power Rangers Samurai, WWE and Marvel Mash’Ems.

If you aren’t familiar with Mash’Ems, they are little oversized heads and shrunken bodies (except in the Marvel series which is just heads). They are soft and squishy and perfect to have on your desk as a miniature stress ball just in case.

’009ノ1: The End of the Beginning’ Is a Wild Ride

by Joe Gillis, Jun 20 2013 // 10:00 AM

End-Of-Beginning-1

We were gonna put this up first here at the site, but the boss beat us to it. He keeps doing that. We’re not sure why.

Still, it’s worth putting up here too, so let’s get to it. In a nutshell, the trailer for 009ノ1: The End of the Beginning is one crazy ride.

It has all the fun elements we’ve come to expect from movies like this, example of which include Machine Girl and Robo-Geisha. So yeah, that’s good.

We can also tell you it’s a live-action adaptation of Shotaro Ishinomori’s manga 009-1 and will be released in Japan on September 7th. Also, Koichi Sakamoto, the director, has done a lot of work in Japan including stunt coordinating / action directing for the Power Rangers series.

Oh, in case you’re wondering, the female cyborg lead is played by Mayuko Iwasa (pictured above), late of the Ninja action film Shinobido. Thought you might want to know that. You’re welcome.

Check out the trailer after the break.

NYCC11: Con Floor Photo Gallery

by John Carle, Oct 19 2011 // 7:30 AM

As always, one of our favorite parts of any convention is the sights and NYCC was full of them this year so we had to share them with the Flickcast audience. The level of dedication by the men and women who attend the con every year is staggering.

Some are picture perfect renditions that rival movie quality costumes like the Anakin Skywalker we saw wandering the floor. Others come from careful collection of legitimate television costumes and props like the classic Power Rangers Green Ranger. Still others take their own imagination and run wild with custom Mandalorian battle armor for both human and giant chicken alike to life sized Castle Crashers.

One of the things this gallery sadly doesn’t do justice is give an idea on just how huge NYCC was this year. Though it is yet to overtake the surrounding neighborhood like SDCC does, the New York Comic Con feels every bit as big and as important as its west coast counterpart.

The entire Javitts Center was filled with every major comic company to movie studios and video game publishers in every corner. This year the Flickcast was only able to spend a day on the Con floor but if things keep looking up for NYCC, we may have to tackle this show the same way we do San Diego Comic Con or E3.

Take a look below to get just a glimpse of the many sights at this year’s convention. See you next year New York!
