Just heard that former Hasbro Lead Designer DAVID VONNER the man who made Marvel Legends and MU figures - will be onhand for the 3rd Annual Connecticut ComiCONN on August 18th, 2012 at the Trumbull Marriott. They have a cuistom action figure contest every year -- and he's one of the judges...

Great line-up of creators too - including writer Peter David, Joe Kelly - Artists Billy Tucci, Chris Giarrusso from Mini Marvels, Mike Lilly, and more names -- This is a huge show -- last year they had 1500 attendees during Hurricane Irene with the Metro North trains and highways closing down and the show rocked!!!! Tons of Toys! Plus they had a working life-size Star Wars landspeeder - R2 and tons of folks in costumes! MU figs at cool prices...

It's really laid back - you can talk to creators, and there's no pushing and inflated costs like the big city shows in Boston or NYC... you should really check it out! ComiCONN Comic Book and SciFi Convention is the website and they keep posting updates on Facebook
