The event really was a success and I think all of us who attended had a great time, hope to see the convention come back in the future.

Congrats to all our Nordic brethren and sisters( and all you cats and kittens in between).
The convention is starting out right! Hope all who attend have a blast. if you've never been to one it's a fond memory I hope you keep. Even my crappy trips to cons make me smile when i think of them. Good friends, good fun, great toys. How can it not be at least worth your time?
And if anybody can snag me a skorpy head you're my new best friend.

If anyone would be up for selling a target master set or headmaster please drop me a pm. I've been a fan of those targetmasters and trying to get a complete set. Thank you in advance!

On the website, it says they're separate exclusive purchases. Attendees get a discount on the Targetmasters pack though.

Are heads included in the attendee package, or available for purchase?

Nice head. Too bad I don't have G1 Scorponok at all.
Dare I ask for a hat trick? Not that I want to be banned though.

Here is the final version of the head.
it comes with three antennas. One broken of course.
two faces that you easily can swap. One sour face and one screaming.
The head also has a ball joint so he can look left and right and a bit up and down.

Oh, Chris, you're always such an ego-boost! And thanks for the free advertisement
As off now I don't think we'll be able to send out the comic or any other material as it's supposed to be a convention exclusive, sorry. But I will make sure to post line art from it to my different accounts and pages, so you can always keep a look out there.
*Art-bro fist* Thanks Nate! It sucks you won't be able to attend but hopefully you'll be with us in spirit. And yes, next time is a must!
