Year after year I visit the NY comicon and I have yet to see either Sideshow or Hot Toys appear...why is that ???
They hate the Yankees.
Attendance at NYCC has been increasing by by nearly 20K each year for the past three or four years. This year's attendance estimate was north of 115,000.
I would expect to see SOME kind of presence in the coming years if that trend keeps up. It'll be too big to ignore.
Except the only thing 2Pac ever sculpted would get blazed.SSC represents the West Coast. They don't get down with the East Coast ever since they killed 2Pac, who was a sculptor at SSC. HT rolls with Sideshow. They're all crips. It's some serious gangsta **** behind all these toys. Trill talk.
If you had any idea the cost for them to attend sdcc you would know why they aren't going to NY which could could cost them as much as double what they pay for sdcc. No flights, people can come down for day or two( not something your doing with that long of a flight.) only have to ship stuff couple hundred miles ect...Attendance at NYCC has been increasing by by nearly 20K each year for the past three or four years.

EDIT: Especially since SDCC's attendance numbers are generally in the 130,000 range (which is max capacity for the SD convention center). NYCC is coming on strong.

NY is a major market . They should have been there . or least have their biggest East Coast vendor representing them. cost should not be a factor since I'm sure they have funds delegated for promotional purposes . lets not forget that its not only NY residents in attendance .NY is the Capital of the World . There was vendors who attended from across the pond. iI seen Japanese TV doing interviews .
they gave out giftcards in 2007 when I went.. I landed a few including a 100 giftcard that I used to buy a Hellboy Struzan signed poster
because sideshow makes no money and it will cost to much to set up a display come on what a croc of s##t. they are a multi million dollar business, I'm pretty sure they can spend a couple thousand dollars to show up and market their product.
the one ring.net had Sideshow giftcards this year.
