Welcome back my friends to our continued deep-dive into the recently passed New York Comic Con for 2024. If you’re just joining us, the is my second Special Features post from the convention which is a little bit of a new way of presenting the findings. Since I tend to speak in a flowing narrative I’d love for you to start from the beginning by clicking NYCC 2024 since that opens a brand-new browser tab for you to follow from the start. Now without any further adieu, let’s get back to the program.

Some of you out there in the readership might know that there was no Toy Fair this year and that meant no advance look at items coming from our friends at Diamond Select Toys. For this special feature I just snapped each section of their absolutely massive display case as all of these items are on sale now. I think only a select few are up and coming. I love so much of the DST stuff but mostly when it comes to action figures and Minimates. Statues are a hard sell for me unless its Vader, Doctor Doom and Godzilla. Let’s browse.

Scenes From New York Comic Con 2024: Day One Part Two

So as previously mentioned in my Day One, Part One post, the New York Comic Con for 2024 had taken over what appeared to be the entire Javits Center. Now this is usually the case with this convention but with the expansion of the space a few years ago it just seems even more massive. I’m going to continue along with the day to day observations both visually and with the occasional editorial and if this interests you I’d suggest that you first click NYCC 2024 to launch a brand-new browser tab in order to see all of the New York Comic Con posts from this year in one handy space. My Day One adventuring continues along with a game about Boba. I’m not too up on this outside of Boba Tea but this looked cute.

The Toy Fair for 2023 was a great return to form for the massive toy industry trade show and as a media attendee for more than a decade now, I was so happy that it had returned after the pandemic pause. In addition to the photographic company recaps and all of the social media reveals including our Official Instagram Takeover, a number of exhibitor overviews were done for the Official PiercingMetal YouTube Channel. While these videos are resident on the Channel itself, I’ve compiled them into a series of posts to expand the events presence on the website. Our third chapter begins with some incredible statues from our friends at Dark Horse Collectibles.

Welcome back my friends, it’s good to have you here with me as I continue to share my findings from the annual New York Comic Con for 2023. The event actually ended yesterday and now its time to share each and every photograph that was done over the four day affair. The mission plan is steady as she goes and I will pick up from where I left off as we are still on the Day One visuals. Before you dive deeper into Chapter Two, I encourage you to follow the traffic director notice that closes this intro. My first images in this installment are the wonderful folks from Pentacomix. They came all the way from Korea to share the news about their company. To see ALL of the New York Comic Con 2023 posts in a new window just click HERE.
