SDCC 2013: Godzilla Encounter

To build up excitement for the upcoming Godzilla movie (2014 release), Legendary Pictures went to great lengths to deck out an offsite building in San Diego for fans to check out. Time stamped tickets were distributed at the LP booth in the con.

The site was something of an homage to previous Godzilla films, along with some tantalizing looks at what the creature will look like in the new film. That part was absolutely off-limits to photography, so all I can share is a look at the first part of the exhibit.

SDCC 2013: Cosplay

There were hundreds (maybe thousands) of cosplayers walking the halls of SDCC 2013. That included an amazing variety of outfits from old, new, famous, and obscure TV shows, movies comics, anime, manga, and many other sources.

Here's a sampling of the cosplayers who caught my eye:

SDCC 2013: Original Superman Costumes

Henry Cavill

SDCC always has some interesting surprises in store. Last year there was the group of Batmobiles from over the decades. One of the interesting sights from this year is a collection of original Superman costumes from TV shows and movies over the last 30 years or so.

SDCC 2013 - Paul Kaiju's King Jinx

We kick off our SDCC 2013 coverage with a look at Paul Kaiju's newest vinyl figure: King Jinx. I believe the figure has a total of 12 parts. The articulation and playability are fantastic, and the king is a welcome addition to Paul's growing pantheon of sofubi characters.

I took a bunch of shots to show the figure from different angles as well as its poseability, fantastic sculpting details, and the technical mastery that went into the production work.
