Nope, it's a solid head. The sparring mask is flexible rubber and is for cobra troopers or other figures to wear while fighting BB. It doesn't fit on BB.

IDK how they can have Boston Comic Con if venders can't set up. I don't want to get there and have half the tables and artists gone. And how can they tell us not to bring bags? Effin rediculous. I only budgeted time to go on Sat and to me it looks like a wash. They should work on a new date. Tons of people are already out of $ for travel and hotel fees. The only thing that can make this worse is a poor showing. I have no problem goinginto the city. I just don't want to get there to find the artists I came to see not there.

There are too many logistics to reschedule the con. I'm sure many of the guests are either in town or will be coming in at some point over the next couple hours.

BTW, the BBC hasn't banned bags. You can bring bags, but they asked con goers to leave them at home if they don't need them. The only restriction is no prop weaponry for cosplayers.

we got this email about 15 minutes ago.

A Message from the Host:


Due to the unfortunate events that have transpired here in Boston, a city wide lock down has been put into effect until further notice causing The Hynes Convention Center to suspend all events until further notice. As such, The Boston Comic Con has been posponed and will be rescheduled to a date sometime in 2013.
All people who purchased advanced tickets on line will have their tickets honored at the rescheduled show. We will notify you of that date. If for some reason, you can not come to the show on that date, we will refund your ticket.

Please, we ask for your patience, understanding, and cooperation. We appreciate your loyalty, and continued support for The Boston Comic Con. Unfortunately, this situation is beyond our control.

We stand with all Bostonians and hope that current events are resolved quickly and a degree of normalcy can be returned to our city.

Was just going to post about this. Looks like it's postponed until further notice, probably later in the week.

Looks like the Hynes made the call. They were going forward as planned right up to the last minute.
I read on the facebook comments that all the Walking Dead people and quite a few artists had cancelled.

If I didn't need one I wouldn't care. I planned on bringing art and buying art so a bag that can hold my portfolio is a must.

Thanks for the heads up guys. Got home from work to see the news. I'm glad someone finally made the call. I just hope we can have the con next week or something. It really sucks that hotels will not refund $ under these circumstances. If they are not letting anyone into the city how can they charge people for a room in a building no one's allowed to enter.

It's been a crazy week, hopefully a reschedule can happen soon and we can put all of this behind us.

Looks like my Sunday just freed up. Probably the best call. Now the difficult task of finding a make-up date where many of the guests are available begins.
