Comic-Con: Friday #2: More booths, more costumes, and Seth Green


 We were surprised to see a huge statue of He-Man, a character that was very big among 4-8 year olds when our kids were little. We watched plenty of cartoons and had many an action figure of He-Man and She-Ra.


  In general, the crowds were moderately heavy in this section of the main floor.



  Things did thin out a little bit as we headed west, but not a lot.
 The Sideshow booth was huge and had many well-done small statues that could be purchased for $200 and up.







 An interesting group of characters we stumbled upon.



 This early teen was with his mom and brother. As soon as his mom saw my itchy camera finger, she whirled him around and struck this pose, probably all within 2 seconds. I was shocked the photo was not blurry and that his pose looked perfected! Thank you, mom!

 There was quite a bit of activity around this booth and as soon as I could get a glimpse, I noticed that Seth Green was the cause.

Comic-Con: Friday #3: Ghostbusters and other attractions

 Never did figure out what this booth was about. Looked a little odd to me.


 I read that Ecto-1 was being driven up and down the streets of the Gaslamp on the night before Comic-Con opened. I think I would have laid down and had a heart attack had I witnessed that. This car is the real-deal, it is not a mockup of the original. It is THE original!

  Some people made their costumes completely out of fliers they gathered after they arrived.

 This is the only booth that got me angry. Anytime someone would try to snap a photo, they would hold up brochures and try to block it. So....I took a few photos anyway. Pffffft!
 I think this is some Star Trekky type guy signing autographs, but I'm not sure.
 Is...is that Burger King on the left?








 My beautiful wife.



 I saw Shrek! And I tried to catch up to hi, but was not able to do so. He moved fast!

The Star Wars booth had a plastic enclosure you could stand in to be photographed as your very own action figure.
