Well, it's taken 20 years since I first heard about San Diego Comic Con, that almost mythical mecca of everything geeky and nerdy, but this year I will finally be going to SDCC!
In fact, by the time you are all reading this, our booth will be set up and we'll be preparing for Preview Night. You see, I'm going not just as a fanboy, but as an actual exhibitor. So, to not look as though I'm trying to promote my day job nor the products we produce, I won't shamelessly plug our booth number or anything here, but if you happen to see a guy with a shaved head, tattoos and wearing all white working a booth at the far wall in section A (near the dining hall), that's probably me, your faithful About.com Action Figures Guide, and I'd love to say hi to you!
You can bet your vintage vinyl cape Jawa that I'll be trying to squeeze in a little shopping. I'm mostly planning on hunting down some vintage figures that I need (having recently decided to try and complete my vintage Kenner Star Wars collection), but many of the SDCC exclusives look awfully tempting as well, specifically this Indiana Jones set and of course, Mattel's Swamp Thing!
What will I come back with? Who knows. Probably mostly just bags under my eyes and a brain packed full of memories. But you can count on this action figure collecting blogger will spend the week making a 20 year long dream come true!

I’ve always wanted to go myself! Have fun! I don’t think I need to say that, but I will anyway!
