Secret Santa 2013

So tis the season again over on the Minimate Multiverse website...the annual Secret Santa event!  Once again I happily took part in this event as it is an excellent way to spread the love around with some awesome like minded people.  My 'child' this year had a list that was really easy to tackle and I had no problem filling a box of goodness that they proclaimed to be great once it was received.

Today I almost skipped picking up the mail as I was already out the door without keys for the post office box but something told me I should...my Minimate sense was tingling and even though I wasn't expecting a package I went for it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a parcel card in the mail box and when the package was addressed to 'miniJeff' I had a sneaking suspicion that it may be my present. Popping it open I found all 4 sets of 2 packs for the TRU The Wolverine wave, Superior Spidey/Electro(Spocks eyes were dead on perfect!), Robot Hulk/Rescue and the Hawkeye/Widow packs from TRU 17 and last but not least a loose Nightcrawler. It was the Nightcrawler that sealed the deal to it being my Secret Santa gift!  Also in the box was a picture of a bowl of sour cream, or it could be whipped cream but my brain clicked to it being the clue to who my Santa was...whiter than sour cream - big thanks to Multiverse member Fwooshyman!!!

Autographed Minimates

A couple weeks ago I attended a local comic con for the first time.  This show started off as an all anime con but 3 years ago they added comics to it and are morphing it into a more entertainment con like most cons are now a days.  The previous 2 years I had people ever so politely have their weddings on that weekend and therefore could not attend…I was not going to let that happen this year lol! 

One of the draws for this con was actor Aaron Douglas, whom some will know from his role of Chief Galen Tyrol on Battlestar Galactica.  It just happened that I had gotten the early BSG wave that had not one but two Minimates versions of his character for dirt cheap.  So since I had these and he was going to be at the con I had to get them signed!

I realized I have a small little collection of autographed Minimates.  These 2 sets, the Walt Simonson signed Stormbreaker set from SDCC last year and of course my most favourite is one of the Death of Jean DeWolf saga wave signed by my all time favourite writer who I got to meet last year, Peter David!
