Mind Of A Toyman: A Collector's Day Out - A Photo Essay

introducing Michael Paul

Wizard World Comic-Con (New Orleans) was an amazing experience . From getting autographs from my favorite stars, seeing fantastic costumes, to buying vintage action figures as well as new, there was a sea of just about anything you could imagine from the nerd world. It was absolutely incredible. I can't write enough to describe the feeling, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Step 1: Redeeming my tickets.....check. The line is huge. It gets bigger and bigger each year!

And that day was quite incredible to say the least!

Money and time well spent surrounded by other dedicated fans loving every minute of the event! Nothing compares to a Con in the eyes of a toy collector like me,so much to see,so much to buy, so much to do. It was well worth it, like always, and as for next year's - can't get here soon enough, from one nerd to another. Reach us on Facebook!
