Grrr, I needed that Stranglehold too. And that was a very decent price.

Oh man! I just missed that Stranglehold!

If anyone is interested, I have a Spinister Set for sale, complete with the Botcon figure, the Charticon Head upgrade and the Mastershooter Collectible Targetmasters. It is the first thing on the list.

Yeah, I'll forever be regretful that I wasn't able to get the Aftershock exclusive in its full packaged glory

For the next iteration of Charticon, it would be nice to get the Cybertonic Spree band…

Exclusive toys really help "make" a show. The Landshark figure in particular was a masterstroke, a Sharkticon toy for a show that uses the Sharkticon as its mascot. As a dealer, I wasn't going to try to get my hands on one, but that doesn't mean I wasn't drooling over it, and Aftershock too. My secret fantasy is that there will be a "dealer exclusive" or somesuch for the 2015 show, or something similar to the 1996 Botcon Onyx Primal toy that had attendee, dealer and guest variations.

I liked your article. I really wish I had got one. Never going to a con before I had no idea how important the exclusives would be to me when I left. I got the landshark and its more important to me than anything I got there even tho I found a couple holy grails for me at the show. I guess because it symbolizes the show for me. When I saw people being handed aftershock in line ahead of me I thought "man I really should have gotten that"

Heh, glad to see you saw my post in both spots! I just came to post the colours here but you beat me to it.
Thanks again man! Very interesting stuff on your blog.
Arkvander
No problem, and if anyone is looking for a little inside info on the making of the figure, I just recently completed a blog post chronicling my experience.

Not a problem, here are the paints we used, all were Testors Model Masters:
True Blue Gloss (4657)
Ocean Grey Supergloss (4866)
Purple Pearl GP00356 (4643)

To create the maroon we used 2 Parts Kandy Scarlett to 1 Part Purple Pearl.

I agree, I'd really like the paint codes to go with my Aftershock…hmm…I think I'll try messaging Arkvander…

No, I bought it from the dealer floor.
By the time the auction rolled around I was out of money.

Did you get that reissue Jazz at the auction? If so it used to be mine
