I hope I can make it this year. The problem is I don't know if my team will make the AHL playoffs. If they do, we will either be playing that weekend or trying to recover from the end of the year elimination party (which usually lasts a couple days followed by a couple days hangover). If not, I'm gonna make the effort...

The only other custom I've seen of this guy is Zobovor's, made from a J. Jonah Jameson figure, but the pics of it are dead on his site.

Now, while this guy could've used some resculpting to make him look a bit less like a younger Commissioner Gordon, it does seem more appropriate for human TF characters to be in scale with 3.75" Joe and Marvel Legends figures. Has there been one in that scale of Tony Stark in a 3-piece suit instead of armor? That'd actually be more appropriate, since ol' G.B. was basically Tony without the alter-ego or substance abuse. No offense to Bob Budianski, of course; Blackrock is still among the best recurring human characters created for TF fiction. The little touch that makes Leadfoot the greatest entrant in the PCC line IMHO is his being sponsored by Blackrock Oil, so I'd say G.B. getting this sort of appreciation is long overdue, but coincides nicely with IDW reprinting his early appearances over the next year.

I noticed the human figure G.B Blackrock's toy hair is parted to different sides in various pics. one pic show the human toy with hair parted to the right side. the other pic shows the human G.B Blackrock toy hair parted to the left side. I'm gonna guess the dairycon crew members used some photo shop program & flipped/rotated the pics.

For Immediate Release.

One Week to Go before PreReg ends, folks! If you haven't already signed up for Dairycon 2012, you may well consider doing so after this. Save yourself a bit of regret & fill out your PreReg Form TODAY!
http://dairylandtransfans.com/dtfdairycon12form.html


Dairycon Staffers today revealed what's in-store for those who PreRegister for the Con:

IN ADDITION to the previously announced Barn, NeoKnight, & Cosmoo (Seen at http://dairylandtransfans.com/2012fig.html ), we have an additional FIVE figures that will be available at this year's Dairycon Convention!


The Future Dairycons!

Rally Rhino

Burning Monkey

Battle Bat

Oh. My. God. *FIVE* Figures?

Dairycon Staffers confirmed that, yes, there will be FIVE figures available to PreRegistrants who sign up for Dairycon.

No further information was given when we asked about how these would come (in a boxset, packaged individually, etc), however, they did say this: "Originally, the 'Battle Bat' figure was given (to another show) as our foreign market exclusive, and was not intended to be available at Dairycon. However, since there is Fan Demand for it, we will do our best to make sure that this figure is also available here as well."

With the previous reveals of Barn, CosMoo, and NeoKnight, seeing FIVE MORE figures at Dairycon is just... it's just....

Wow.

There's only one week to go! Register Today!

An announcement from Dairyon Regarding the current controversy involving 3rd party and other non-official TF products:


"We would like all of our dealers, fans and friends of Dairycon to know they can participate in our Show without having their items confiscated or removed. You can proceed with confidence knowing your official, 3rd party, customs, and other toys and materials are always welcome.

The Dairycon staff would also like to extend our warmest thanks to the great fans that make the convention what it is. You all help make Dairycon an incredible fan-friendly experience and we are eternally grateful.

We value all our fine dealers and friends who have attended and supported Dairycon throughout the years.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Dairycon 2012!"

----

Regrettably, though registration for Dairycon 2012 is now closed, you can keep track of them on youtube, facebook, and on their website at http://www.dairycon.com

View & join them on their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/130895343606367/

Keep an eye out for further details about their upcoming show, and make sure to sign up for next year's show if you already missed out on this one!

Dairycon is a blast, I got to meet Fender Bender and everyone was real friendly the year I went. It certainly didn't feel like money was the ultimate drive of the show. The exclusives for this year are unique and will be super limited, really how often do you run across someone on ebay selling their Dairycon stuff?
Not often, those things are extreme.

Oh for crying out loud, really?

There are much more diplomatic ways to have said that, instead of mocking TFCC. I mean, come on. Hasbro's got the right to protect their property, and yes, I buy the 3rd Party stuff too but the Transfomers are all their propewrty, just as Potter is still Rowling's even though she's done with them. TFCC is a child company, they HAVE to respect Hasbro's wishes, there's no other option.

You wanna win friends, Dairycon, you should have said something more perofessional, "Yes, as an unnoffical convention not affiliated with Hasbro or TT, we do allow other items into the Vendor Hall and will continue to do so."

Well like it or not, Botcon is competition of sorts, so going out and saying "Yeah, we're not going to do like certain other guys are doing" is just standard PR, not to mention it was brought up a few times in other threads whether or not other conventions would follow suit, so it's not like the question wasn't asked.

I agree, it could have been stated better. You can't have your club name printed on official products and support 3rd parties. Fun Pub has no other choice.

I'm sure there is a bit of animosity still, with Botcon throwing out an early con and overlapping Dairycon due to Joecon and the anniversary, and those things associated. Competition is ugly. But did Botcon state no 3rd parties before pre-reg? In my opinion, it's common sense that these items wouldn't be in any ways promoted or encouraged, but to have them confiscated on any level should have been addressed before registration opened.

done splitting hairs man?

to be honest i see nothing wroung with dairycon dishing out some harmless ribbing at hasbros expense.

and if it eanrs them a few extra brownie points wiht the fan community thats good too


only stuff i buy anymore hasro wise is the comics and the dvd sets overtime but i go with third party figures all the way for my collection.

i gotta agree with you on that man

as they say it takes one to sling mud and two to fight dirty and they chose to fight dirty so they deserve some negative reaction from the fanbase and if dairycon comes out looking better its all good in my book

I am utterly ashamed to be a Transfan right now. Seriously, I haven't seen such a bunch of crybabies since I finished my Labor and Delivery rotation. DairyCon can do what they want. Fun Pub can do what they want. The third parties CAN'T. Why? Because Hasbro has decided to protect its intellectual properties in a way that we haven't seen them do before. And you know what? The LAW is on their side. Third party companies- though immensely cool in what they have accomplished- have done so with something that Hasbro and Takara have legal possession of under International Law. These companies HAD to know that this was going to happen eventually. It would be ignorant otherwise. Maybe the plan was to make as much as they could before Hasbro finally brought the hammer down...I don't know. But what they have been doing is tantamount to stealing. And they had to know that punishment was coming.

figure wise i dont eve bother with buying hasbros stuff anymore

transformers figure wise i buy all my stuff through fellow fans on the usual websites

for the most part though at least 75% of my collection is thrid party stuff

hasbro wants to protect their copyrights i got no problem with that but their nuts if they think they speak for the entire fan base on the matter or if they think they can decide the matter for any of us as collectors

their will always be fans willing to go out on a limb to pic k up the slack in providing the collectors in the fanbase with what they want figure wise when hasro/takaratomy cant or wont.

so long as thrid party groups continue to do so in a reasonable respectful manner where the law is concerned i see nothing wrong with this or that third party group providing a collector in the fanbase with a actual choice in the matter

the way hasbro acts sometimes though you would think they were upset cause someone managed to beat them to the punch on a idea over time. or because that group upstaged them in making the better figure in thier way.

only stuffi buy from hasbro are the comics and the dvd sets to be honest

I think the people calling "crybaby" are missing the big bone of contention: Confiscation.

It's one thing to be turned away, and it's quite another to have your stuff taken away. Is the law on their side when it comes to protecting IP? Sure. Is it on their side with seizing property? Doubtful.
