And I have to keep them hidden away! I feel bad, leaving them in a bag in a drawer!  I wasn't too thrilled with some of the models, they weren't that good. But they were my first!

I tried to hide my first couple plushies, too.
Then I got a couple more... and a couple more... and then it just became futile to even bother. 

I do wish more of the official merch looked better.
I still can't find a decently modeled Scootaloo...

To a rather real extent, neither do I. 
They are all in my room on a bunch of Ikea and Walmart shelves and stuff, but it is certainly quite cramped.
This room belongs more to them than to me at this point.

Oh my mother Celestia you're coming too!?!?! I am just learning that SO many people who I admire (and in your case envy,) are going to be there, we should totally meet! I am so thrilled!

P.s. Do you by any chance know if Tabitha St. Germain is attending? I looked everywhere but still can't find out if she is

(Omg we should go plush shopping together XD)

DeadParrot22 In reply to GoldenDust-Creations [2014-10-27 06:18:49 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I'll definitely be there!
Since I live in CA, I kind of have to go! 
It's still 5 months away so I haven't really been paying too much attention to who else will be there yet, though.
I went to BronyCon in August and that was awesome because so many plush artists were there, so I'm hoping this will be similar. 

So far BabsCon has only announced John De Lancie and Cathy Wesluck, so no word on Tabitha yet.
Still plenty of time for her to get signed up though.
 think she was supposed to be there last year and ended up having to cancel and Skype in for her panel, so perhaps she'll make special effort to come this year to make up for it.

Awwwwww I really hope she can come this year, I will litterally wait in like a 3 hour line just to see her........................... But on the bright side, JOHN DELANCY

And it's so nice to meet someone else who lives in ca too, everyone I met so far is either somewhere else, or lives in ca, but is still too far away
I'm really looking forward to see you there! (Maybe you can kinda show me around, because this will be my first con even though I've wanted to go for quite some time.)

DeadParrot22 In reply to GoldenDust-Creations [2014-10-28 03:06:52 +0000 UTC]

Ha, if she does show up, you just might!
Her line was crazy long at Bronycon. 
I'm sure John's will be quite large, too.

I'm certainly no convention expert, but it would be nice to have plans to meet some people before getting there.
I've been to four now and only had someone I knew ahead of time for the first one.
All the others I've just kind of wandered on my own and latched onto others occasionally. 

What part of CA are you from?
I only know of one other person here on DA who lives down in my area, and one or two from more up north.
If you are in the LA area, had you heard about Stan Lee's Comikaze?
It's this upcoming weekend and he managed to get the full main six VAs there somehow.
I live less than an hour outside the city so I'm totally going!

GoldenDust-Creations In reply to DeadParrot22 [2014-10-28 04:29:22 +0000 UTC]

I will totally wait in that line, should she come

And definitely! We should totally make plans to meet up before, but probably not too long, because my family is going to be there too, an we've only ever been to San fransisco once, and my siblings will probably get really bored and start complaining at it will just become super chaotic.


And I actually live in Hollywood! This is so awesome! We need to go to a brony meet up together! XD

But, Ummmm..... I'm kinda confused, first, I don't know who Stan lee is also, I haw no idea what you mean by VA, or comickaze. I might know if you explain it, but I can't really put that name to a role......

DeadParrot22 In reply to GoldenDust-Creations [2014-10-28 06:02:21 +0000 UTC]

That reminds me that I wanted to plan time to get to Alcatraz while I'm up there because I don't think I've ever been to San Francisco before and that's a big landmark that I'd want to see.
Gotta start figuring this stuff out...

Oops, sorry to throw all that information at you!
I'm so used to talking about it that I forget some people don't know it all. 
Stan Lee is one of the founders of Marvel Comics who helped create tons of superheros like Spiderman, The Hulk, Iron Man, the X-Men, etc, etc.
Basically a god of nerd-dom.
(You'd probably recognize him if you've seen any of the superhero movies of the past decade as he's had little cameos in every Marvel one.  )
He has his own convention this weekend called Stan Lee's Comikaze where he is getting a bunch of actors, comic book artists, writers, producers, etc. together for a bit of a mini-Comic Con.
It was just announced a couple weeks ago that all four of the voice actors (VAs) for the main six will be there on Saturday and Sunday: Tara Strong, Andrea Libman, Ashleigh Ball, and Tabitha St. Germaine.
It's being held right nearby in the LA Convention Center and tickets are still on sale!
Check it out: comikazeexpo.com/
If you can make it, you won't even have to wait to meet Tabitha!

Oh my gosh holy Celestia I'm going to try SO HARD to go, hopefully we can meet there too! ^^

And that's so cool! I honestly want to go so bad it's not even funny. Do you know if there might be any pony vendors there? :3

Also I have to go on Sunday though, because I have this Halloween thing Saturday. Which days are you going?

DeadParrot22 In reply to GoldenDust-Creations [2014-10-29 05:14:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's pretty awesome! 
I only found out that it existed at all about a month ago, and then it came out of nowhere with getting the whole main cast.
I have to work on Friday, but I have tickets for Saturday and Sunday.
We could definitely try to meet up at some point. 

There is a huge list of vendors on the website that I briefly scrolled through.
I did see WeLoveFine on there and I know they do a lot of pony shirts and bags and things.
Beyond that, I'm sure there will be some, but I have no idea what to expect.
I've only ever been to pony conventions so I'm curious to see what the mix will be here.

GoldenDust-Creations In reply to DeadParrot22 [2014-10-29 14:37:44 +0000 UTC]

I am too! All of my family said they're going, and my two younger siblings get in free so yay! We are buying tickets tonight, but it's pretty much official!

It would be cool if e could meet up and team up with some other wandering bronies as well, that way we could pin point all the pony stuff and sort of stick to that. (Along with some superhero stuff, of course XD)

I'll probably be there by around 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, and will most likely stay until about 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm on Sunday, I'm so excited!

Oh cool!
Sounds like you have a whole squad going.
I'll be heading in by myself, but we should definitely try to find a group or something. 

I'm going to be trying to get there as early as possible both days since I don't know what the traffic situation will be, so I'll probably be around. 
Make sure to check the autograph schedule if you are trying to get some, too.

GoldenDust-Creations In reply to DeadParrot22 [2014-10-31 05:04:53 +0000 UTC]

Definetley! But do you think that will be a long line?

And we should make plans to meet up maybe...... on Saturday? That way we can be prepared for the actual thing on Sunday. Also, don't forget to tell me what the brony turn-out is!

Also, do you think the cast will have time to talk to someone for a while, or will it only be like a rushed moment?

And yea, my mom has to work so it will be my dad, two younger siblings and I, hope that's ok of they tag along with the rest of us

And sorry for all the questions, this is my first "con" so you will have to teach me like, everything. ^^

And thank you for being so kind and amazing, and taking time out of your day for me, it really means a lot, and I am so thrilled that we're going to get to have fun together ^^

And I litterally put the watch notification in my devious folder

DeadParrot22 In reply to GoldenDust-Creations [2014-10-31 07:08:37 +0000 UTC]

I have absolutely no idea! 
The only conventions I've been to have been exclusively MLP so the crowds were all there for one purpose and the lines were pretty long.
Since this is a more general convention, maybe the crowd will be more dispersed and the lines might be shorter. 
I'm sure their ability to talk to people or take pictures and things will depend on just how busy they are as well.
If the lines aren't too bad, they might be able to take a little more time with each person.
If it is crazy though, I'm sure they will have to keep things short so that everyone can get through.

No problem about all the questions!
This is my first time at something of this size too, so I'm not exactly an expert either. 
(Actually I don;t even know how many people are expected at this thing.  And I don't think I've ever been to the LA Convention Center... How many people can that place hold?)
Not really much to know other than remembering to eat and drink.
It's pretty easy to get wrapped up in everything and forget! 

Let me know how you want to meet up!
Don't know what the wifi situation will be at the con so I may or may not have internet access while I'm there (My little Ipad is wifi only).
We may want to make arrangements ahead, probably by just picking a place (comikazeexpo.com/sites/comikaz… and a time.

I'm in the same boat; just guessing until I get there.  
'Nerv-excited' seems like a good word for it right now.

Honestly, wherever you want is fine by me.
From the sound of it, I'll probably be getting there before you on Sunday so just let me know and I'll make sure to be there on time. 
I'd suggest somewhere around the outer wall just so there will be less of a crowd to search through.

DeadParrot22 In reply to GoldenDust-Creations [2014-11-02 03:10:01 +0000 UTC]

Woo, long day. 
Hope you like walking, because my legs hurt. 

So the place is huge!
Tons of people and booths.
Not really all that much pony stuff, though.
Mostly superhero merch, comic books, etc.
There wasn't a whole lot that I really wanted to buy, but it is fun just going around and seeing all the people in costumes and the exhibits. 
Be sure to bring a camera!

One potential bad thing: I'm a little unsure, but I think Tabitha may have only been there today...
Andrea, Ashleigh, and Tara are all on there for Sunday, but I don't think I saw her. 

Anyway, a good place to meet...
When you first go inside, you get your badges and then go up the escalators at the back to get into the South Hall where all the booths and things actually are.
If you go right immediately from there and all the way down, there are a bunch of tables set up (Marked as Lounge on here: comikazeexpo.com/sites/comikaz… ).
That's probably the easiest place to track each other down as it should be pretty empty early on.
Just let me know what time you expect to get there.

Oh, and rather importantly, how will I know you guys?
I sort of realized that I don't know what you look like.
I don't normally have pictures of myself but here's one: fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201…
That's me on the right.

See you tomorrow!

I did find this other person who makes ADORABLE beanies that are cheaper, and they're just adorable!
But they're too busy on other commissions and can't even tell me if they'll be able to be open again anytime before Christmas.

WhiteDove is always awesome,  but she's really popular so it will be hard to get something from her very quickly most of the time.
There are a ton of great artists out there covering all kinds of styles, but I do have one I'll throw at you.
inaligrimalkin.deviantart.com/…
Inaligrimalkin makes 'em big and cuddly, and she's definitely open for commissions right now.
