Millennial Monsters from Blobpus
For the 3rd Symposium running now, Blobpus has may wicked contributions to the Millennial Monsters series. For those who like their monsters large, there is this striking Dokugan in the classic MM colorway. And for those who prefer their Kaiju fist-sized with guts, there is the BlobPus DX - clear vinyl and lovely organs.
The figures will retail for $80 each and will be available at the All-Star Bazaar (SDCC Booth#4937) from Thursday morning onwards. Supplies are limited!

Gardner Fox.. patron saint of the GFS
 |
| Portrait of Gardner Fox by Gil Kane |
During the Golden Age of comics, he worked on Batman from Issue 3, contributing to the early development of the character, introducing such fundamentals as the Bat Utility Belt, the Batarang and the Batgyro (precursor to the Batcopter) He is also credited with creating Hawkman, the Flash and the Sandman. In 1940, in the third issue of All-Star Comics, he introduced the Justice Society, the first superhero team in comics. The graphics for this year's Global Figure Symposium are an homage to the cover art from this classic Golden Age Comic.
Gardner Fox passed away December 24, 1986 here on Earth-One, but we have credible intelligence that he is celebrating his 100th on Earth-2 with an amazing birthday bash.
You can find out more about this seminal godfather of modern comics on Wikipedia and you can Like his fan page on FaceBook.

WHAT IS THE ART HUSTLE?
The Art Hustle is a boutique series of artist and art-based trading cards that is curated, designed and produced by The Cardhacks, and manufactured in the USA by SideKick Media.
The set is very much a collaborative effort with the participating Artists. It exhibits an international group working in a variety of disciplines including street art, toy art, kaiju, illustration, painting, sculpture, aerosol art, tattoo art, digital art, film, photography and more.
Included in the classic wax packs are Artist Profile Cards and Art Cards; all with interesting facts on the backs that you don't want to miss. Artist-customized cards have been randomly inserted into packs, so you have the chance to pull an actual original piece of artwork.
The Art Hustle is a new Art experience and a hell of a lot of fun.
