Live from NY its Hasbro Fan Media Saturday

If I can, I'll be posting text only updates during the presentation. We'll see how strict they are with the no cell phones rule though. I'll also be posting some pics to the JC facebook account so people can see stuff as soon as I do. They won't be great pics be they will be clear enough to get an idea.

On top of that we'll have an album link for anything Hasbro sends along afterwards as well as the pics I take during the show room tour. I'll try to get those up Saturday night but it is more realistic that it won't be until Sunday morning.

Updated with album from event. http://www.joecustoms.com/albums/index. ... air%202012

Dang - Bruce, Rza, & LJ look promising. Although the implications that LJ is a NYCC exclusive is a little troubling. Another great female headsculpt potentially wasted.

Flint & Jinx am disappoint, though :-/

REALLY want that Shockwave HISS now, though. And I don't ever want SDCC crap.

EDIT: The v2 RockBlock looks pretty sweet, too - although the Arashikage tattoo is a little goofy - but not as goofy as "Ninja RB" on all the packaging ;-)
