Bowser (Wedding) amiibo
Might come in handy should I ever get around to rounding up the rest of the Kingdom Coins in Odyssey!
Early June, I ventured with my sister to our annual nerd out weekend at OMGcon. I picked up quite a lot along the way:
OMGcon Swag
Marvel Legends Deadpool (Back in Black)
Super Mario Series 9 Blindbag Figure (Mario)
Digimon Tentomon w/ Izzy's Laptop Keychain
Super Mario Series 9 Blindbag Figure (Bowser Jr.)
Funny story about Mario and Jr.: I originally tried for the latter with a random blindbag purchase by just feeling around for spikes. Turns out, my feeling skills
are very much lacking, resulting in my like fifth Mario figure from this series. Afterwards, I found the codes for each figure online and my Sis and I searched the entire box for Bowser Jr. However, we still didn't find him. It turns out that I had misread the method by which you use the codes to determine the figure inside each bag and I didn't realize this until we were back in the hotel room. I actually went RIGHT BACK DOWN to the dealer's hall to claim my Bowz Child. This is the the life of a Bowser fan and Bowser Jr. main in Smash.
Anyway, I also got some stuff signed, courtesy of Bill Rogers! (Who you might know as the voice of Brock in the Pokemon anime from 2006 onward, the voice of Lucario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and voice of the King of Hyrule in Breath of the Wild! Great guy! Even commented on the Pokemon shirt I was wearing!
That does it for OMGcon, but we're not quite done yet. Finishing things off, I also went to stay with my sister and her husband for a week and did a bit of shopping while there. My first stop was ToysRUs, but it was unfortunately but unsurprisingly picked clean of anything of value. I had better luck at Target, where I purchased two films I've been meaning to pick up on Blu-ray for a while:
The Lion King (Walt Disney Signature Collection)
My Little Pony: The Movie
One last thing: At the end of June, I picked this guy up on a grocery run at Walmart:
Funko Kingdom Hearts Mystery Mini Blindbox (Axel)
That wraps things up! July should be an all-around slower month in terms of me buying crap I don't need, but my Birthday is in August, so look forward to seeing some neat stuff next month. I also plan to publish my first game reviews on the blog soon, so look forward to that as well!
