Soopa Show and More

… Maybe I should’ve written a sticky that said I’d be at NYCC all weekend! Yesterday was exciting, I have plenty of things to post about… but it’ll all have to wait until tomorrow because I’m just going to wrap things up for y’all with a “pretty little bow”. In the meantime, I went to Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Coin Up Show. First thing that must be mentioned, getting there really was “soopa easy” as Erick stated on the flyer.

Once I got there, I have to admit that I was highly impressed with the space. It was nothing like I had imagined… then again, whenever I’m outside of my safe zone, nothing is really what it seems. The space was big and well lit. I’m not a fan of florescent lights beaming over my head, but I love florescent lights both behind or under vinyls because it just makes for better photos. That’s just my opinion.

The customs were overall amazing. I had fond memories of kANO’s Money Grip show- not in the art or artists themselves, but seeing what other artists do with ONE specific figure. The munny/dunny is so “mainstream” that it doesn’t have the same effect on me that these shapes have. Hit the jump for some of my favorites and visit the flickr to see all of the customs.

The Mario inspired ones

Brent Nolasco’s [He was all over NYC!!]

Toy Break’s was hilarious… it’s them holding Mouse Micci!

I’m off to bed… one more day of running around/pictures!!

I can’t believe you were there!!! Team ALBOTAS was there, too!!! We could’ve hung out!!!! Anyways, hit us up. We filmed the first episode of A Little Bit On The Awesome Show and interviewed Erick and got some footage of the show. It was a great night. I think Eddie drank all the free wine because by the end of the night, he was destroyed.

The only reason I knew about the glue is because she told me she was going to paint it. The setup was cool, but I was disappointed you couldn’t see the backs of them. They should’ve had mirrors behind them or something. Great pics BTW, they put mine to shame!
