As for the cons and the Stinky.. I've been to a few and Everyone knows this.
There is a very very easy.... lets call it 'work around' to this. 1) Shower and encourage your friends to do so.... that's a given 2) buy a $5 can of Axe body spray before you go. There's many scents (( I use the "Dark Temptations" I.E. Chocolate one. Chicks dig it)) But there are many scents. Spray them in the air at walmmart and pick one you like and one that's kinda strong. Then carry it with you in your Con backpack/satchell/messenger bag/purse, cargo pants what ever. When you encounter Con-us Stinkorous, kinda sniff the air a bit. Pull out your Axe.. give your self a bit of a spritz.. then turn to them and just spray the hell out of them. Works like a charm. 1) Dude now knows he reeks. 2) He now doesn't reek nearly as much and 3) He's very likely not going to stay near you and will move off. I've used this tactic more than once. Had a few guys get a bit bitchy about it but not much more. (( Helps that I'm 6'3" and about 250lbs)) but yeah. works great. Solves problems and if you have it on you and you find that YOU, inspite of showers... start to stink you can spray yourself down and offer it round.. Youd' be amazed how many guys will spray themselves 'Just in case' if you're friendly and offer it around. No guy WANTS to stink after all. And for like $5. You've enhanced the con experience.

Used this tactic at Blizz con about 4 times last year. Had one guy get all punched in the dick about it and I just shrugged and looked at him. Everyone around ya is laughing and suddenly you're the guy that everyone knew stunk to high heaven and someone did something about it. They mostly just get this pissy look on their faces and stomp off. And well... if I'm wrong and you take a swing... that's where the 6'3" 250lbs, and karate comes in. I can block a few punches and laugh till you chilll. I'm no ninja but I'm good enough to hold my own with toy and comicbook fans 9 times out of 10. lol This all being said... __IF___ You use this tactic.. yes you have to be ready for people to get offended and some psycho might just take a swing at you.. Use digression.... The little skinny nerdy guy. Ok. The kinda flabby nerdy guy ok. The 300lbs guy in leather with spikes, a mohawk, and a voice like a mile of bad road, a Marine's tattoo Xed out with "SUCKS" under it....... Well... yeah.. just ... you know.. move away from that guy if he stinks. Theres "enjoyable con experience" then theres "suicide".

so i really thought that there would be new Helix designs.
Anyone else find it odd? obviously itz a popular figure and yeah maybe there will be one down the road... but I just found it odd that she still only has the two incarnations (i'm including the desert-y dial tone-y one). just seems odd to me.

Like the idea of pulling out an axe but by the end of the con I would either be shot dead by SWAT officers or be in a hot persuit for the muder of too many people with a massive battle axe...

Patience, Goggles. ;) We've only seen 2 waves of 2010 product, Paesan. With JoeCon a mere 8 months away, we're definitely going to see more schwag that we haven't seen as of yet. I promise! |

like that... she'd be in the City Strike grouping or something. I gotta say... if Hasbro keeps this up... I won't even comment on the stuff I don't like anymore. hehehehe. I'll only focus on the crazy dope super wonderful stuff that I've seen comin out of the con. when the 'least' of the figures shown are repaints (sand viper, elite ice viper) ... and I still want them... that's some serious progressive behavior on hasbro's part. keep it up hasbro.
