Man, I wish I was going to SDCC. Yesterday, Rotofugi revealed their official plans for the con:
Welcome to the Rotofugi Somewhat Infrequent Update SPECIAL PRE-San Diego Comic Con 2009 Edition!
If you were with us last time you learned that we’re getting ready to embark on an epic roadtrip….to San Diego Comic Con!
In just a few short hours we’ll be hopping in the car and heading south by southwest with the eventual goal of getting to San Diego in time to set up at Booth 4930.
We’ll be eating tasty road food, listening to lots of audio books (Neal Stephenson’s Anathema was my choice) and most importantly…Twittering. Just follow us @rotofugi to keep up with our progress and maybe get a chance to win a little something here and there (think trivia).
Now…on to the good stuff…here’s some of signings and the stuff we’ll have for sale once we get there….
Saturday 12 Noon-1:45PM
Chris Ryniak Signing and Special ReleaseThe Lake Monsters Big Muscamoot
Fire on the Water VersionWhat was originally meant to be the very first Lake Monster is now a reality! A little bit of trouble with the first batch of vinyl we received delayed this release but we’ve re-grouped, got new vinyl and won’t ever trust that factory with glue again. Orange vinyl with red, orange and yellow sprays. FIRE.

A small number of pieces will be available AFTER SDCC via lottery. We’ll announce details later. Thanks!

The Lake Monsters Big Muscamoot Discount Factory Reject Unpainted Figures
These are the not-so-perfect pieces of vinyl our factory sent us (the reason the Fire on the Water Release was delayed). Some have ill-fitting arms, some have glue drips, some just aren’t right….so we’re selling them off cheap! Mostly they look pretty darn good, they just weren’t good enough to be made into final releases (we’re picky). DIY anyone?$30 each
Available All Days

We’ll also have a good supply of Ninjatown Micro Plush, Marshall Series 1 and Tear Drips Series 1 on hand plus a couple Inked Pulp letter press prints and some neato buttons to pique your interest. So, if you’re going to be at SDCC stop on by Booth 4930 and say hi!
