It's never too late to show some pics of great collectibles, and the TV-themed goodies definitely were in abundance at last weekend's Motor City Comic Con at the Vibe Credit Union Showplace (yes, it changed names again) in Novi, Michigan. This author was there on Sunday and enjoyed a hassle-free parking sitch (I got there an hour after the show opened) and breezed right into the convention hall without waiting in line. Which is delightful, since it was nice and HOT that day -- warmer weather had reached the Mitten State at last!
So what did we see at the show, in terms of Terrific TV Toys? I mean, what did we not see? The usual Batman and "Star Trek" to the hilt, but I try to shoot some slightly more obscure stuff whenever I'm at a show like this. So we've got some "Buffy," "Twilight Zone," "The Office," "The Muppets," "Dungeons and Dragons" (yes, it was a TV series), "The Tick" (the series star was at the con), "The X-Files," "Jonny Quest," "Welcome Back, Kotter," "Starsky and Hutch." As always, click on an image to see a larger version.

| This guy was good! I didn't even realize he was a Rodney Dangerfield impersonator when I first spotted him at the show -- I thought he was just another wild dresser at the con! I shot a vid short of him rattling off a few jokes, so check that out at the BRBTV YouTube channel. |
