ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Shotgun Sean was repping at Wondercon for Alex Pardee and the ZEROFRIENDS Collective. Alex was on a lot of people’s minds at the convention, whether for his fine art Watchmen giclee print (shown below, better pic here) or his upcoming Walrus Rider toy. I believe Sean knows what other colorways we’ll be seeing of the figure, but he didn’t even blab after we waterboarded him. While The Secondmen giclee was a NYCC exclusive, Alex wanted to save half the edition of 50 for his hometown Bay Area gang, which we appreciate. (For another Watchmen interpretation, check out Dan Goodsell’s prints here.) The ZEROFRIENDS booth had an original painting, comics, books and lots of cool wearable stuff. A few months ago, I referred to Sean as “quite possibly the nicest guy whose name bears arms,” and I stand by the designation. However, Jason took note of Sean’s resemblance to a certain celebrity depicted in charcoal in the stall across the way. I’ve included the pic at the bottom of this post. No, not Jesus. If you see Shotgun Sean around town, congratulate him on the success of High School Musical. Cheers!
