3A Toys Atlas and P-Body

Hey, look who showed up last week! It's the Atlas and P-Body Portal 'bot figures from 3A Toys. These two science bots come with their own handheld portal devices, and the eyes on the main body can glow. They're a bit delicate, so I want to be really careful when I pose and display them, but the overall quality is fantastic. They're very detailed, and they have lots of articulation, even down to individual finger joints. Take a look...for science...you monster...





What I'm Playing:
  • Main Campaign: Don't Starve
  • Side Quest: Pokémon Y

SDCC 2012 Photo Dump

Hey all, it's been about a month but I still have Comic Con on the brain. Good times, and my first. I figured by now I should post a few pics of some costume stuff I did and some way cool stuff other people did. Here it comes!





















I updated my Ghostbuster costume, with some heavy non-canon customization. I'm carrying Tex, my vision of what the Ghostbusters might carry if they needed a heavy-duty proton gun. I'll do a full post on this build later.

Here I am with Deadpool, making everyone uncomfortable in Slave Leia garb. Genius.

Day 2 and 3 I wore my Aperture Test Subject costume, or Mell if you prefer. The Portal gun is the official NECA gun, vanilla flavor.


Klingons

Chell, with no gun but some sweet Longfall stilts

Posing with a very good Chell and a kid who I perceived as doing a tester/scientist mashup. The kid bought the Comic Con Cave Johnson Portal gun at the event, an exceedingly wise purchase in my opinion. He also built his own Companion Cube and had the voice-enabled GlaDOS module running off an actual potato. Kid was HARDCORE.

I went to the NECA booth and got my Portal gun signed by the models for Cave and Caroline Johnson, and Karen Prell, who animated Wheatley. Afterwards I was sitting near the booth, eating a sammich, and a dude tosses that turret at me. The turret is cosplaying as a Power Ranger.



Soon after I spotted Adam Sessler in the crowd (it was the Sess, no doubt.) It was a pleasure to meet him and have a nice little chat.




Here I am with Kratos and Nariko. I was happy to hear that Kratos had taken body paint tips from Mario and Alice! Nice guy.

There was a mess of awesome Team Fortress 2 players.



Other Mother



Dude with a pretty good Kuato.

Really good Cowboy Bebop team.



And then I was done...

What I'm Playing:

  • Main Campaign: Fez, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
  • Side Quest: Wizorb, Rock Band 3

[TEST SUBJECT NAME HERE], your uniform issue is ready.

Hey everybody! Rather than dwell on how long it's been since I wrote, why don't I just show you what I've been up to. San Diego Comic Con is coming soon, and I've had a few costumes in the works. Since it's fresh in my mind, I wanted to share the Aperture Laboratories Test Subject project I've been putting together.
