Toy Havoc Presents: Tri-Valley Comic Book & Collectibles Show RECAP

We stopped by the Tri-Valley Comic Book & Collectible Show which was held at the Pleasanton County Fairgrounds. If you had a flyer admission was $2. Parking at any fairgrounds or convention center is going to cost $$. It was a nice, quiet and easy going little show. This was our 1st time attending so we weren't sure what to expect. There were a couple of artists selling their artwork. More action figures, legos, diecasts, comic books were at the show like Star Wars, Transformers etc..... So there was really little to nothing if you are looking for Designer Vinyl Toys. Only saw a couple of Vinylmation figures and Mighty Muggs if that counts.

There were lots of cool and interesting pieces there. Didn't find anything this time around but hopefully at the next show. Overall, it was a pretty good show which will grow in time if more people are aware of the show.

Check out the pictures below:

Sneaky Wools. Can You Spot The Difference?

As you all know, we love Chima Group and this caught us by surprise when we spotted this version of Wool at Rotofugi last week when Rotofugi added this and other Chima Group toys to their new arrivals section. We kept staring and comparing pictures of this version of Wool because we had purchased a Pink one directly from Chima Group not too long ago.

Can you spot the difference between these 2 Wools?

The difference is the shade of green used in the scarfs. The one from Chima Group has lighter green wehre Rotofugi had a darker green. Super glad that we took the chance and purchased Wool from Rotofugi because now he's sold out.
