I’m planning to attend the super Jersey comic expo next month. Ron Rudat is one of the guests and I was thinking it’d be really cool to meet him. Has anyone ever met him at a convention? Is it usually a “pay X dollars for a signed photo” type thing? Do you get to talk with them? Does he do presentations? Thanks for any thoughts or experiences. I realize it could depend from event to event but I just don’t want to go and then miss out on something and figured some of you might have advice. I’ve never done a meet and greet or anything like that at a convention. Thanks.

And for any others interested in attending, here's the full roster of "special guests" (including Larry Hama):
https://www.superjerseyexpo.com/lineup BTW, the Farpoint Toys & Collectibles "toy museum" sounds really fun. I'll have to check that out sometime (as soon as it reopens).

I can't speak for Mr. Rudat but I met Larry Hama at a convention a few years ago. I chatted with him before his presentation on the Silent Castle issue began and he let me take a photo with him. He was very down to earth.

Kirk Bozigian is far and away the best of them all I have met. He is friendly and outgoing, also a true fan of the brand. It makes sense as he was in sales and marketing. Larry is quieter and just seemed to be going through the paces as an artist. I have had less enthusiastic interactions with Ron, but he is an artist and designer so the PR thing may not be in his wheelhouse. I can imagine all of this is quite exhausting to people who are used to being behind the scenes. These folks are all getting up there in age and it has been awesome to meet each and every one of them at whatever level they were at publicly IMO. Have fun and take it as it comes.

Thanks for all the great advice. I put together a video of my experience at the Super Jersey comic con. I got the chance to meet Ron Rudat and Larry Hama. I brought my Gi Joe RC Moray and Engineering Wolverine customs to the show. Ron Rudat took the time to look at them and showed me some detailed things about the Moray. I also talked to Larry Hama about starting with Gi joe and he even signed some comics for me. A great day. Thanks again.

I've met both of them & they were super cool multiple times. So I'm glad to hear your experience went so well!
