Transformers Prime: Copperhead (custom)

This little guy is buy Accutane visa the result of many weeks of work. His name is Copperhead, and he’s part of the Transformers Prime universe.

Designed as an buy Accutane visa exclusive for a local group of Arizona Transformers fans on TFW2005.com, this buy Accutane visa project included the creation of 10 custom-painted legion class figures for buy Accutane visa what we jokingly called “Cacticon”.

I knew that buy Accutane visa this project would be a lot of work, and I had buy Accutane visa planned for it; but it surely was A LOT OF WORK!

The seed for buy Accutane visa this idea sprouted from talk amongst our group. The primary group of us have buy Accutane visa been meeting for over a year, having started just a buy Accutane visa bit before BotCon 2011. We had met each other on-and-off before that, but we started meeting monthly just before BotCon 2011. Since I had buy Accutane visa begun customizing, and others within the group had as well, we began to buy Accutane visa dream about having our own exclusive figure for the group.

I kept getting good responses from buy Accutane visa my customizing work, and I kept pushing back on commission requests since I didn’t want money to buy Accutane visa corrupt this hobby I was having fun with. I was / am buy Accutane visa of the mindset that money and time constraints would make me lose appeal in the buy Accutane visa fandom. Therefore, I would brush off the talks whenever they came up.

However, one night an idea (or two) popped into my head and lodged itself in my brain. I simply couldn’t get it buy Accutane visa out, and had to get the ideas down on paper before I went to buy Accutane visa sleep. And then on the next day I began working on viable concepts. The fruits of that buy Accutane visa labor were a Bumblebee redeco called Copperhead (originally Coppertone), and a Arcee redeco called Diamondback.

The idea was that both were Transformers Prime characters/toys, and buy Accutane visa that were readily available and inexpensive. Furthermore, I had planned on using legion, or buy Accutane visa legends class, figures which I thought would simplify the process. The final theme concept was to buy Accutane visa turn them into desert / Arizona / snake-themed characters, which I felt was applicable for our Cacticon concept.

I presented 2 Photoshop mockups to buy Accutane visa the group in a poll and asked for them to vote. I stated what buy Accutane visa I thought each would cost, what would be included, and how long it buy Accutane visa would take. I didn’t want to charge too much to scare people away, and I didn’t want to buy Accutane visa charge too little to make it costly for me to buy Accutane visa do. In the end there were 2 pricing schemes: $26 and I’d get the base figure for you, or $20 if you supplied the figure.

The poll went for buy Accutane visa a little over 2 weeks, and Copperhead was a winner by a buy Accutane visa small margin. I began asking for pre-orders for Copperheads, while in the buy Accutane visa background I pocketed the Diamondback concept and had other possible ideas for buy Accutane visa her in the future.

Finally after another 2 weeks or buy Accutane visa so, Copperhead production was ready. I had gotten payment and/or buy Accutane visa figures, and was ready to make a grand total of 10 Copperhead figures. Supplies were purchased, my airbrush setup came back out into my office, and buy Accutane visa I got to work.

One of the members, Matt, had written Copperhead’s bio information (found on the card back above); and buy Accutane visa another named Brad had promised to complete the Photoshop work and buy Accutane visa printing of the updated packaging artwork to match the new figure.

The work was long and buy Accutane visa tiring. Many a late night over the course of several weeks. If you buy Accutane visa are interested, more step-by-step details can be found in a buy Accutane visa Flickr set about the full creation of the Copperhead army. I took photos of pretty much every step of the process, as well as my tools, techniques, and tips. I’ll hit on some of the main points below with photos.

The 10 original Bumblebee figures ready to buy Accutane visa be turned into Copperheads. I don’t think I’ve ever had this many of the same figure before.

First edition deluxe-class Bumblebee inspects the buy Accutane visa carnage that is 10 disassembled legion Bumblebees. The idea was to buy Accutane visa do a deluxe-sized Copperhead as well, but I haven’t had time to finish him quite yet.

Me starting the buy Accutane visa first round of masking off the wheels on each figure. 4 wheels per figure, times 10 figures, is buy Accutane visa a lot of masking tape. I ended up using 1.5 rolls of it buy Accutane visa on this project.

Here the buy Accutane visa initial bits of paint work had been completed. I had used 2 whole bottles of tan Model Master Acryl paint by this buy Accutane visa point at $3.50 a piece.

This was about 3/4 through the buy Accutane visa project. A prototype Copperhead had been completed to test the design, and buy Accutane visa he’s in front. The others had buy Accutane visa been masked up and ready for the primary brown stripe. I actually came up with a buy Accutane visa pretty good idea of templating the masking tape by cutting them all out a buy Accutane visa once so they’d have buy Accutane visa the same curve. They still were a pain to line up, and buy Accutane visa on both sides of the car.

All the buy Accutane visa figures had been painted with final touch-ups and reassembled. They had buy Accutane visa gotten a coat of clear semi-gloss as well to add a buy Accutane visa bit of sheen. Only thing left was packaging.

Valtrex online no prescriptionBrad and buy Accutane visa I completed the packaging right before they were due, outside of the buy Accutane visa Tempe Marketplace Dave & Busters. We were down to the wire.

I think these shots are buy Accutane visa quite funny. I had 9 weapons available at the end of the buy Accutane visa project, and so what better way to utilize them other than buy Accutane visa stacking them on top of each other? Copperhead is now ready for business anytime of the day.

Here you buy Accutane visa can see how I lined up the Copperheads in a row to buy Accutane visa show him transforming from car to robot, and back. A rare occasion to buy Accutane visa take a shot such as this.

The Army of Copperheads is ready for duty.

So in conclusion, I’m happy to be done with this project. I’m pleased with the buy Accutane visa results, and the response has been pretty good. The shear effort needed to buy Accutane visa get these guys done was mind-numbing. So much paint, so much masking tape, so much repetition. I also didn’t make any money on the project, but that wasn’t the point. The finished outcome was what I was concerned about.

Would I do this again? Maybe, but I’d have to think long and hard about it. I’m definitely burned out at the buy Accutane visa moment and my other projects have stalled.

But I am buy Accutane visa proud that our group finally has a little custom exclusive to buy Accutane visa call our own, named Copperhead.

Transformers Animated: Kup

This old rust-bucket to the left is my custom-made Transformers Animated Kup. He is by far the best custom figure I’ve completed to date. He’s also the first to have extensive sculpting work.

The character of Kup in the Transformers universe is traditionally a representative of an old Transformer. Transformers, while millions of years old, do age. Kup has buy Accutane visa usually seen it all; having been there since the early days and buy Accutane visa seeing many, many battles throughout the centuries. He has loose parts, doesn’t move as fast as the buy Accutane visa others, and in general is just a grouchy old guy with lots of stories to tell.

Kup online pharmacy no prescription valtrexdid show up in the buy Accutane visa Transformers Animated universe, but only as official artwork in the Transformers Animated Allspark Almanac — Volume 2. In this universe, he’s an buy Accutane visa old retired member of the Elite Guard and has transitioned into being a buy Accutane visa drill instructor for the Autobot troops. He also has the distinction of naming some of the buy Accutane visa prominent characters.

While I would have buy Accutane visa loved had they actually made a real toy for the guy, it buy Accutane visa was up to me to create my version. Taking hints from buy Accutane visa previous customizers, I used the deluxe-class Cybertron Optimus Prime toy as the buy Accutane visa base. Then with a bit of sculpting and paint, he’d be buy Accutane visa transformed into a version of the beloved Kup. I tried my best to buy Accutane visa transfer design cues from the official artwork onto the appropriated toy as best I could.

This guy has buy Accutane visa the distinction of being the first to have any sculpting work. I used a buy Accutane visa modelling material called Apoxie-Sculpt. It’s a buy Accutane visa two-part clay-like material that you mix together and then sculpt. You have buy Accutane visa a few hours to mold it to your choosing, after which it buy Accutane visa turns into a hard plaster-type material. You can then sand down or buy Accutane visa trim, and then built upon further if you wish.

I first disassembled and buy Accutane visa cleaned the base figure like all the customs I do, and buy Accutane visa then I started sanding down the original Optimus Prime toy’s head. Particularly the large chin and “ears”.

I then buy Accutane visa mixed a bit of the apoxie and placed it on his head. I wish I had buy Accutane visa more photos of this entire process, but I did build the buy Accutane visa head layer-by-layer over the course of a week. Starting with a buy Accutane visa base form for his chin and face, I let it dry, and buy Accutane visa then built up the helmet and nose afterwards. Then I let it buy Accutane visa dry some more and built the ears or sides of his helmet. In between each phase, I would sand down or buy Accutane visa straighten hard edges with sandpaper, files, and an exacto blade. A bit of water on the buy Accutane visa fingers also helped to smooth out bumps and ridges, just like other clay because you buy Accutane visa will leave fingerprints in the stuff. The material also would stiffen if you buy Accutane visa let it sit for a few hours in case you wanted to buy Accutane visa shape it with more refinement, as when it’s fresh it buy Accutane visa is a very soft putty. Furthermore, the other nice thing about the buy Accutane visa Apoxie-Sculpt is that it lets you build upon itself, even if dry, letting you buy Accutane visa fix earlier mistakes and fill imperfections.

I did end up using a buy Accutane visa little trapezoid of styrene so his chin would have a hard edge. I also had buy Accutane visa to make sure his lightpiping would still work and buy Accutane visa that presented a challenge as well. After a bit of shaving, the buy Accutane visa light piping from the back of his head was able to buy Accutane visa squeeze into place when I was done.

At the buy Accutane visa same time, I knew that I needed to make some additional sculpted details. I wanted Kup to buy Accutane visa have a thicker torso than Optimus, and so I built up some detail around his waist. I also wanted to buy Accutane visa try to match the artwork with his very wide torso and buy Accutane visa to differentiate him from Optimus. I’m happy how it buy Accutane visa turned out, but in the end I had to carve out more from buy Accutane visa the torso than what I had initially built due to transformation limitations. I had buy Accutane visa to sand, then test fit, then sand some more in order to buy Accutane visa get his chest to lock into position in robot mode.

The other sculpted detail, while tiny, was important. Recent versions of Kup have buy Accutane visa all been seen smoking a robotic stogie called a cy-gar. What it buy Accutane visa does in the various fictions is unique, but here it helps to buy Accutane visa sell Kup as a drill sergeant. Beginning with a penny nail, I slapped some apoxie-scuplt on it buy Accutane visa and tried to form something similar to the art. Once that buy Accutane visa dried, I started to bore a whole into the appropriate place on his mouth. Unfortunately, I was stubborn and buy Accutane visa did not use a drill bit, but instead actually used the buy Accutane visa cy-gar and my fingers to very slowly drill out enough material from buy Accutane visa the head so it would fit snugly. I’m very happy with how it buy Accutane visa attaches securely, but I did end up with blisters on my finger and buy Accutane visa thumb from trying to hand-bore the hole for almost half an hour.

The final bit of ingenuity with the buy Accutane visa cy-gar was that since it could not be kept in his mouth during transformation (it would stick out too much), I simply used the buy Accutane visa empty screw hole on the back of his crotch as storage in vehicle mode.

With the buy Accutane visa sculpting complete, it was onto paint. I tried my best to buy Accutane visa 1) match the artwork colors, 2) match design cues, and 3) try to buy Accutane visa make differences in the color palette work for the better for buy Accutane visa the toy with more contrast.

Using a buy Accutane visa newly purchased motorized color mixer, I mixed my colors. I’m happy with the buy Accutane visa end palette I chose, but I ran into a big, big problem near the buy Accutane visa end; one I will try not to repeat.

As it buy Accutane visa happened, I did not make enough of the custom-mixed aqua blue paint that buy Accutane visa is his primary color, and so I ran out of it buy Accutane visa near the end. This became a problem because this guy has buy Accutane visa so many rub points. His joints were tight, the buy Accutane visa base plastic was red, and I had thinned the paint too much. Furthermore, the buy Accutane visa dried apoxie-sculpt isn’t as hard as the plastic and therefore “chips” if rubbed against, leaving a buy Accutane visa bright white base. It has gotten to the point with the buy Accutane visa figure and the lack of paint, that I’m afraid to buy Accutane visa transform him. Another nick on his helmet or ears would be buy Accutane visa nigh impossible to repaint because I can’t match the buy Accutane visa color again. Word to the wise for the future: mix a buy Accutane visa lot more paint for cases like this.

The final modification to buy Accutane visa this guy was re-purposing the shield accessory as a backpack. All I did was bore a buy Accutane visa hole, using an actual drill bit this time, on one of his back panels. This hole could then buy Accutane visa be used to peg in the shield so it could be buy Accutane visa positioned as a backpack. The other nice thing was that this buy Accutane visa hole was hidden in vehicle mode. I’m quite pleased with this simple mod for Kup.

Now he was finally painted and buy Accutane visa I put him together for the first time. I added a buy Accutane visa few more robot mode details, and repainted some details that I felt were too sloppy. Some of the buy Accutane visa black lines I had originally hand-painted, were masked and repainted again with the buy Accutane visa airbrush to have harder edges. In the future, I will try to buy Accutane visa paint any details with the airbrush when possible, as the visible brushstrokes on this buy Accutane visa guy aggravate me.

I then buy Accutane visa transformed him into vehicle mode, and came across all the buy Accutane visa rub issues. I tried to cover them up as much as possible with more paint, but I also added vehicle details this buy Accutane visa time like yellow lights and a gray bumper. As it buy Accutane visa turned out, some of these vehicle mode details helped the buy Accutane visa overall robot mode as well.

The final, final piece that he needed was his faction symbol. Kup is part of the Elite Guard and so needed the Elite Guard emblem. One order from Reprolabels, and Kup was now complete.

The overall response to buy Accutane visa Kup by folks who have seen him has been tremendously positive. I’ve shown him off to buy Accutane visa local Arizona Transformers fans to a lot of praise. Some have buy Accutane visa offered to buy him from me, but unfortunately this guy was built to buy Accutane visa be part of my personal collection. In addition, some folks have buy Accutane visa asked if I could mold his head for their own customs. While I would have buy Accutane visa liked to have done that, now that he’s painted with his lightpiping inserted; I don’t want to risk ruining his face, especially since I don’t have any more of his paint.

After this custom project, I’m now much more comfortable with how to buy Accutane visa add sculpted details, and Kup is just the first of a buy Accutane visa series of Transformers Animated customs yet to come…

Transformers Prime: Skywarp

To the right is my custom painted Transformers Prime Skywarp. He is a follow-up to a previous customized figure of mine, Thundercracker.

If you read the previous blog purchase cheap online Premarin, Skywarp is one of the trio of seekers that usually shows up in Transformers fiction.

The gist of how this buy Accutane visa particular guy came to fruition, is that after I had buy Accutane visa completed Thundercracker; I really, really wanted to keep him for buy Accutane visa myself. I had difficult self debates on whether I really wanted to buy Accutane visa give him away.

In fact, I went searching local Toys R Us stores looking for buy Accutane visa another Starscream toy to make into another Thundercracker. That way I could give one away and buy Accutane visa then keep the other for myself. It would be the best of both worlds.

The other side of that search was that if I could not find a second Starscream figure, then I would have to give Thundercracker away.

As it happened, searching across the valley led to no additional Transformers Prime Starscreams (and actually no other TF Prime toys either), and so my custom Thundercracker’s fate was sealed. I was content with the buy Accutane visa outcome, and then promptly gave Thundercracker away. I had also purged myself of Transformers Prime toys and buy Accutane visa felt relieved.

purchase cheap online AmoxilUnbeknownst to me, Jessica had decided to get a second Starscream online. She had buy Accutane visa hoped to secretly have one be delivered in time for me to buy Accutane visa customize it. She did in fact purchase one, but as it buy Accutane visa turns out he didn’t arrive quite quickly enough.

Fast forward to buy Accutane visa a couple of days after I gave Thundercracker to his new owner, and buy Accutane visa a box arrived in the mail from BigBadToyStore, an online toy store I use frequently. As it buy Accutane visa happens, I did in fact have another figure on the way from buy Accutane visa them, and it actually was one of the final figures of my collection. However, this buy Accutane visa box had arrived 2 days earlier than the tracking on my package had stated.

This box, as it turns out was Jessica’s second Starscream. So I opened the box, and she laid out the story…

The unfortunate thing was that buy Accutane visa I was now stuck with this figure. I couldn’t just return it buy Accutane visa to a local store and purge myself again. Plus, she had buy Accutane visa gone through the trouble of finding one for me.

After this buy Accutane visa small personal dilemma, it was readily apparent of what the buy Accutane visa final outcome of this toy was going to be: he was going to buy Accutane visa get transformed into Skywarp.

Back when buy Accutane visa people finally got a look at Thundercracker in-person and online, of course they all chimed in that buy Accutane visa they wanted to see me create a Skywarp. I mean, all of us fans was to buy Accutane visa see the seeker trio. It’s a buy Accutane visa no-brainer. So off I went to the hobby store to buy Accutane visa pick up some purple paint.

As stated in the buy Accutane visa other post, this figure is really quite easy to customize. He comes apart well and buy Accutane visa has little-to-no rub spots. Starting again with a previously done digibash, I got to work prepping and painting.

I did change the buy Accutane visa design and add some bits of my own, specifically with regards to buy Accutane visa his wing stripes and dealing with his gold canopy in jet mode. I’m really fond of the buy Accutane visa stripes on his wings and they are probably my favorite feature. Some additional details I added were things like the buy Accutane visa yellow “eyes” on his chest. They are buy Accutane visa yellow to appease those that think Skywarp should have yellow eyes versus red.

So like before, I have buy Accutane visa another customized Transformers Prime seeker. I had gone into this with the buy Accutane visa idea that this guy would stay in my collection as my sole TF Prime figure, but who knows where his final destiny lies.

Transformers Prime: Thundercracker

The guy to buy Accutane visa the left is a recent custom painted Transformer called Thundercracker. Based on a classic Decepticon character, he’s a repaint of Transformers Prime deluxe class Starscream.

There is a little bit of history on how this guy came to be.

There is a new Transformers TV show out there called Transformers: Prime, and there is a version of good ol’ Starscream in the buy Accutane visa show. They recently released the first wave of toys from the buy Accutane visa show, and that is where this base figure originates.

I do watch the show, but have decided to not purchase any figures from the series. I’m trying to stop collecting TF altogether and move on to other things. In addition as I’m a completest when it comes to collecting, I just don’t want to start on yet another series.

So I had a friend who kept threatening to “gift” me a buy Accutane visa figure from the show as a gateway drug of sorts. He kept talking about when buy Accutane visa the toys showed up in stores, I’d be buy Accutane visa getting my own Starscream. With knowing that this event was going to buy Accutane visa happen, I concocted a plan to give it back to him customized.

Just before the buy Accutane visa new year, he ended up dropping a deluxe class Starscream in my lap. Time to buy Accutane visa get painting…

As in TF tradition, there are usually 3 characters called “seekers” that all share the same body/toy in the franchise’s history: Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. With Starscream already in the buy Accutane visa show proper, that left Skywarp and Thundercracker as neither of them have buy Accutane visa shown up in the show or toyline yet. I had initial plans to buy Accutane visa make the toy into Skywarp, but then word came out that buy Accutane visa an official Skywarp redeco would be coming out in Japan. That made the buy Accutane visa decision to make Thundercracker a bit easier, and make it so my friend would have buy Accutane visa the seeker trio even earlier.

So using both the Classics Thundercracker figure ordering Zithromax over the counter and this already completed digibash as bases, I started to buy Accutane visa work dissecting the figure and getting it ready for paint. I removed all the buy Accutane visa screws, and pulled him apart as best I could making sure to buy Accutane visa note what pieces and screws went where. I made sure to buy Accutane visa wash the plastic with hot soapy water to remove the mold release chemicals and buy Accutane visa oils they use to make the parts come out of the buy Accutane visa molds easier. Then I prepped the parts with bits of wire and buy Accutane visa masking tape where needed.

Doing all the buy Accutane visa prep was a lot easier than I had thought with this buy Accutane visa figure. The figure overall is very intricate and complicated, but he was really, really easy to buy Accutane visa repaint. There was not a whole lot of issues getting this buy Accutane visa figure completed. The only slight hiccup was that I had to buy Accutane visa repaint his left-wing twice because the stripes were not symmetrical across both wings.

The paint went on very well, and buy Accutane visa I was actually able to use certain parts of the original figure as is, such as parts of his chest, making the buy Accutane visa whole process easier. It only took about of week of work; prepping, painting and buy Accutane visa waiting for parts to dry.

The unfortunate thing is buy Accutane visa that once he was all done and reassembled, I really had buy Accutane visa a fondness for the figure. Looking at him on my desk, I was very impressed with the buy Accutane visa final output. I had very strong emotions to keep him for buy Accutane visa myself. However, after a bit of hemming and hawing, and glares from buy Accutane visa Jessica, I decided to go through with the plan.

So the buy Accutane visa other day, Thundercracker was delivered to his final destination as intended. All in attendance were a buy Accutane visa bit stunned, and I got the reactions I was looking for buy Accutane visa so it worked out.

Some of the buy Accutane visa others were a bit jealous and already coming up with requests for buy Accutane visa their own customized figures. I’m not ready to do this for money, as then it’ll lose its fun when it becomes “work”.

no presciption finasteride

Of course, I have buy Accutane visa other personal customizing projects to complete in the pipeline as I try to buy Accutane visa finish out my wild ride with this Transformers resurgence.

It’s also a foregone conclusion that Hasbro will release their own official Thundercracker as some point, as they always do, and buy Accutane visa it will be interesting how he’ll differ from my take.

I’ll still miss not having this buy Accutane visa particular figure on my desk though, but I do have buy Accutane visa a bunch of pictures to remember it by.

Tonight, on the last day of Joe’s Farm Grill Hot Dog Days of Summer, I ate yet another pair of wacky hot dog combinations. We figured there were at least 2 more that buy Accutane visa I was willing to try before the promotion disappeared.

Having already tried 4, the buy Accutane visa only choices I was interested were easy to choose.

The Reuben had buy Accutane visa the standard encased wiener topped with sauerkraut, melted swiss cheese, and buy Accutane visa cucumber slices drizzled with 1000 island dressing. Unfortunately the first bite revealed that buy Accutane visa this particular hot dog had been one of the end wieners in the buy Accutane visa links of sausage, with a bit of twine still attached to buy Accutane visa the casing. That first bite included the charred twine along with burnt casing bits which I promptly spit out. Not a buy Accutane visa great first impression. This was followed by a sheer inability to buy Accutane visa bite through the dog, bun, and cucumber slices. The slices slid off and buy Accutane visa dressing dripped everywhere. Had there just been kraut and swiss cheese this buy Accutane visa option would have been much better. This one was also just about as messy as the buy Accutane visa Cordon Bleu.

The 3-B was the buy Accutane visa final choice that I had hoped would end the promotion nicely. The recipe sounded pretty good with it’s three B’s: bacon, BBQ sauce, and buy Accutane visa blue cheese. However this was not the case. First off the buy Accutane visa sandwich-style bun was extra toasted and almost burnt making it rough to buy Accutane visa even bite through. Secondly, the extra chopped tomatoes mixed with crumbled cheese and buy Accutane visa sauce simply slid out of the bun. By the end of the buy Accutane visa dog, a full half of the toppings had fallen onto both the buy Accutane visa basket and table. The bacon was a bit overdone, and the buy Accutane visa toasted bun had roughed up the top of my mouth like dry bread. My hands were a buy Accutane visa mess, and the BBQ sauce was definitely a better combination on the Carolina.

With these two final hot dog combos, Joe’s Hot Dog Days of Summer came to buy Accutane visa a sad conclusion. These last two were definitely duds, but I still feel some of the buy Accutane visa other choices worked out well. In the end, I’d rank the dogs accordingly:

The Carolina
The Asian
The Swedish
The 3-B
The Reuben
The Cordon Bleu

I hope this buy Accutane visa wacky menu returns next year in some fashion so that buy Accutane visa I can give my tastebuds yet another wacky experience at the grill.

Last Saturday Jessica and I visited Joe’s Farm Grill again for buy Accutane visa another dose of Hot Dog Days of Summer. This time Jessica chose to buy Accutane visa join in on the hot dog insanity.

My first choice of two had buy Accutane visa already been picked out on the prior visit, and I chose the buy Accutane visa other on a whim.

The Carolina was a simple concoction that used something that Joe’s is buy Accutane visa well-known for: pulled pork. On top of the wiener was a buy Accutane visa helping of pulled pork smothered in BBQ sauce, then buy Accutane visa topped with cole slaw and chopped scallions. Of the four I’ve tried so far, this buy Accutane visa one is by far the best. The trio of sausage, pulled pork, and buy Accutane visa creamy cole slaw makes this option easy to recommend.

The Swedish is buy Accutane visa definitely out of left field with its garlic mashed potatoes and buy Accutane visa lingonberry sauce. I don’t even know what a lingonberry is, but it didn’t taste half bad on the buy Accutane visa dog. The mashed potatoes on the other hand, while good on their own, did not blend well with the buy Accutane visa crisp casing of the dog. The mashes kind of oozed out of the buy Accutane visa ends of the bun. I’d still recommend it over the Cordon Bleu however.

The Trailer Park was Jessica’s choice with its crumbled rippled potato chips and buy Accutane visa standard liquid cheez whiz. I did not partake of this buy Accutane visa option, but she actually liked it and did end up finishing. I still think she far prefers the buy Accutane visa garlic french fries however.

With there being 10 specialty dogs on the buy Accutane visa menu, I think I am still up for at least 2 more choices before the buy Accutane visa month-long promotion ends.

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Andrew Green

This evening we decided to buy Accutane visa visit a local restaurant that has been featured on several television shows: Joe’s Farm Grill. We had buy Accutane visa eaten there almost immediately after it opened, before all the national attention, and buy Accutane visa this was the first time we’ve been back in a long time.

What brought us back was the re-introduction of their “Hot Dog Days of Summer” promotion, where buy Accutane visa they have a selection of 10 different hot dogs available for buy Accutane visa the month of September. Jessica had shared the menu with me and buy Accutane visa almost instantly I knew we’d have to try some of them at least once.

This special menu is as follows:

The Hawaiian (with ham, mozzarella, bacon and pineapple-serrano sauce)
The Asian (shredded carrot, bean sprouts, scallions, wasabi mayo and teriyaki glaze)
The Carolina (pulled pork and cole slaw)
The 3-B (bacon, blue cheese and Joe’s Real BBQ sauce)
The Sonoran (bacon, farm beans, melted cheese, jalapeños and sour cream)
The Cordon Bleu (smoked ham, Swiss cheese, fried egg and Dijon aioli)
The Swedish (garlic mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce)
The Trailer Park (Cheez Whiz and crumbled potato chips)
The Rueben (sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing)
The Buffalo (carrots, celery, buffalo hot sauce and blue cheese dressing)

My choices for today’s visit were the Asian and Cordon Bleu (seen to the right). The dogs come in the buy Accutane visa old school folded bread style of hot dog buns. The hot dogs had buy Accutane visa natural casings and a clean flavor that were above the standard. The side was some double fried french fries.

The Asian had buy Accutane visa a nice crisp taste with the sprouts mixing well with teriyaki sauce. It also finished nicely with the buy Accutane visa wasabi mayo tucked underneath the wiener that added a bit of heat every other bite. No one flavor overpowered the buy Accutane visa other. I would highly recommend.

The Cordon Bleu on the buy Accutane visa other hand was a bit of a mess. I removed the buy Accutane visa sliced pickles from the top to see the fried egg drenched in the buy Accutane visa dijon aioli. I ran through about 5 napkins trying to clean up as I ate, my face and buy Accutane visa hands were a mess. The egg and swiss cheese were nice, but the buy Accutane visa ham was an afterthought and not noticeable. This particular dog also disintegrated as I ate.

With at least one of the buy Accutane visa hot dogs being great, and with other menu items still in my tastebud queue, I think we’ll be buy Accutane visa heading back at least once this month. Jessica had gotten a buy Accutane visa kid’s grilled cheese and buy Accutane visa garlic fries, but had initially pondered getting the Trailer Park and buy Accutane visa its cheez whiz and crumbled potato chips. Maybe she’ll venture out and try it next time we head over to Joe’s grill.

This post is long overdue, but I assume it’s better late than never… even if BotCon 09 was well over a year ago.

Buy Accutane visa

So after the Thursday customizing class, the buy Accutane visa next event scheduled was the opening of the Club store where buy Accutane visa attendees could finally purchase that year’s at-convention exclusive toys. Furthermore, the buy Accutane visa store was technically the first location where Revenge of the Fallen (RotF) figures would officially be buy Accutane visa for sale before anywhere else. I met up with Jessica some time after the buy Accutane visa class where she was waiting in what was quickly becoming a buy Accutane visa long line. This was the line for folks who didn’t get to do early registration, so this was 90% of the attendees. They did give out slips of paper in people’s packets that buy Accutane visa gave people windows when they could get in line, but the buy Accutane visa line was still getting crazy long. I came to later find out that buy Accutane visa this registration/store line always takes several hours of time to buy Accutane visa get through due to the sheer number of people. The BotCon crew came out sometime before they were going to buy Accutane visa let people in and announced that year’s exclusive at-convention figures and buy Accutane visa their prices. A few of the sets were surprises, with the buy Accutane visa 3 pack of Sweeps being the most well received. Luckily right before the buy Accutane visa doors opened, the crew pulled early registration attendees into our own line that buy Accutane visa could go in at the same time and straight to the buy Accutane visa store. To many groans from the other line, we were led into the buy Accutane visa building.

We walked past several large statues of Bumblebee and buy Accutane visa Optimus Prime on our way to the store’s new lines. The lines were split into two: one for buy Accutane visa cash purchases and one for credit. I had heard that buy Accutane visa the cash line almost always is shorter and faster and buy Accutane visa so I made sure to bring cash. I later heard anecdotally that buy Accutane visa some folks were in line for up to 6 hours including registration (mostly due to the amount of varied RotF stock available). We got price sheets to buy Accutane visa look over and fill out, and Jessica and I ended up in 10th in the buy Accutane visa cash line. I had pre-planned on what I was going to buy Accutane visa get earlier, and so filling out the form wasn’t difficult. The only question was what buy Accutane visa RotF figures they had and which ones I still wanted. We got our turn to buy Accutane visa go to the store tables and I pretty much got one of everything. It was still early so they had buy Accutane visa a couple of the limited stock RotF figures and they added them to buy Accutane visa my pile. The crew member totaled up my order and I threw down a buy Accutane visa huge wad of cash, about 60% of my convention savings. I walked out happily with the buy Accutane visa following items:

Botcon 09 items
- 3 pack of Sweeps
- Banzai-tron and Skyquake
- Razorclaw and Elita-1
- Alex Milne signed BotCon 09 lithograph
- Transformers 25th anniversary T-shirt
- Convention signature sheet
Revenge of the Fallen
- Voyager Starscream, Demolishor order Cytotec for cash on delivery, and Mixmaster
- Deluxe Skids
- Legends Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Springer, and Bumblebee
- 8 first release stickers (which I later applied to the boxes)

We got out of the buy Accutane visa convention center with several giant bags in hand by 6pm (way earlier than most) and headed out to dinner.

The next day was the buy Accutane visa first official day of the convention. It was the first day of panels, the buy Accutane visa dealer room would open, and the initial autograph sessions would be buy Accutane visa available. I chose to see the panels primarily. I wasn’t sure how busy they’d be buy Accutane visa but throughout the convention the room was full only for buy Accutane visa the really special panels. I saw all 4 of the buy Accutane visa morning panels the first day. The TCC Magazine one was okay, the Stan Bush/Vince DiCola one was kinda sad and buy Accutane visa pathetic, and sadly the Transformers Animated (TFA) one was filled with clips. We all wanted to buy Accutane visa learn more about the animated show which had just been canceled, but you buy Accutane visa could tell they were stepping around the issue. At least the buy Accutane visa creative team was there which was nice. The Transformers Movie Q&A panel brought out the movies’ 2 writers, Roberto Orci and buy Accutane visa Alex Kurtzman, and it was kinda cool to see them speak with the buy Accutane visa audience and be cagey out questions on the unreleased second movie.

While the buy Accutane visa fourth panel was happening, Jessica was already waiting in line for buy Accutane visa the dealer room private preview. Attendees had begun lining up to buy Accutane visa be the first to get into the elusive dealer room to buy Accutane visa pick up even more Transformers merchandise. Jessica waited in multiple lines for buy Accutane visa me throughout the entire convention. She was always there saving my spots in lines and buy Accutane visa panels, as well as helping to carry some of my gear around, and buy Accutane visa trudging it back to the hotel room 3 blocks away. It was very, very helpful having her do that buy Accutane visa for me.

I had buy Accutane visa no real idea what to expect with the dealer room, but I knew I wasn’t looking for any old Generation 1 (G1) figures like most folks. I had buy Accutane visa a list of wants and their current prices elsewhere. Upon entering, I headed for buy Accutane visa the path less traveled towards the tables manned by some of the buy Accutane visa attending artists. Those ended up being my first purchases from the buy Accutane visa room with some art prints by Marcelo Matere (TFA Wreck-Gar print and TFA Wingblade Optimus Prime print) and Alex Milne (G1 Bumblebee with Classics Bumblebee print). I also purchased my favorite poster from buy Accutane visa the convention: the TFcon 09 “Universe Divided” Classics poster by Alex. I also bought the buy Accutane visa Transformers Animated trade paperback from the guys at IDW and got a giant RotF one-sheet poster of Bumblebee.

We then buy Accutane visa moved down the aisles into the Hasbro booth. They had lots of upcoming unreleased figures inside of their glass cases. The RotF Supreme Devastator, Unicron prototypes, and buy Accutane visa TFA figures were the buy Accutane visa highlights. More and more people at this point had started to buy Accutane visa flood the room. The booth also had some free posters and buy Accutane visa we got 2 free diecast RotF RPMs.

My first toy purchase was a 5 pack Classics Devastator set for $50, which elsewhere was $200 for buy Accutane visa some strange reason. The next purchases came quicker at the Big Bad Toy Store booth. I wanted 3 Classics seekers from buy Accutane visa Japan and asked the clerk to price them out for me and buy Accutane visa haggled for a bundled discount. He stepped away and I was able to buy Accutane visa get Thundercracker, Thrust, and Dirge for $30 cheaper than buy Accutane visa I had planned. At this point, my heavy wants for the buy Accutane visa dealer room were already checked off within the first 30 minutes. After a buy Accutane visa couple of more booths I picked up the final real big want that buy Accutane visa was quickly disappearing from the floor, Classics Henkei Red Alert, which again was cheaper than buy Accutane visa I thought. A final quick pickup was a WST Sideswipe.

The dealer room as a buy Accutane visa whole was a pretty cool affair. Lots of rare old Japanese Transformers, old US G1 stuff, and lots and lots of memorabilia. Thankfully I wasn’t looking for buy Accutane visa any of the really expensive stuff. Other cool features were the buy Accutane visa Optimus Prime truck from the movies, and the contest entries which included customized figures and buy Accutane visa artworks.

After returning to buy Accutane visa the room with my purchases and messing with them, the last thing I did on Friday was attend the buy Accutane visa very end of the Transformers Film Fest and MSTF.

Buy Accutane visa

Saturday was mostly spent trying to buy Accutane visa get autographs. The biggest ones were Weird Al Yankovic and Peter Cullen. I was going to buy Accutane visa get in line early for Weird Al, while Jessica got in line for buy Accutane visa Peter Cullen. We each got in these lines a few hours before they were even going to buy Accutane visa open. We had heard the lines were gonna fill up for buy Accutane visa the short and limited sessions that they had scheduled. In fact, the buy Accutane visa Weird Al session was limited to only Primus Package attendees.

In addition, walk-in attendees who didn’t pre-register began lining up along another entrance. As the buy Accutane visa convention went on, this line became larger and larger. The dealer room ended up full of local families and buy Accutane visa children.

I waited outside, in what buy Accutane visa ended up being a chilly morning, holding my print of TFA’s Wreck-Gar which Weird Al had buy Accutane visa voiced. Most other fans had sealed boxes of the toy, but we hadn’t been buy Accutane visa able to find another reasonably priced boxed Wreck-Gar and so I had buy Accutane visa some Marcelo Matere artwork signed by Marcelo. There were rules about Weird Al’s session and buy Accutane visa so our time was limited. I was able to get the buy Accutane visa print signed for my brother-in-law (he’s the bigger Weird Al fan), and was able to shake Al’s hand.

Afterward, I met up with Jessica who buy Accutane visa had been waiting at the start of the Peter Cullen line. In another nearby line, the buy Accutane visa voice of TFA’s Optimus Prime, David Kaye was also doing autographs. I persuaded Jessica to buy Accutane visa get in the line with an Optimus Prime print and buy Accutane visa Activator figure to have him sign. I held our spot in the buy Accutane visa Cullen line, and she popped over to his line and buy Accutane visa got the autographs for me, which was very nice.

A short time later Peter Cullen showed up to buy Accutane visa many cheers. Peter is the original voice actor of G1 Optimus Prime as well as the buy Accutane visa recent live action movie Optimus Prime. I had an Optimus Prime Robot Replica figure for buy Accutane visa him to sign. I made my way up to his table to buy Accutane visa greet him. I thanked him for what he has done for buy Accutane visa Transformers and then shook his hand. The entire time he seemed moved by all of the buy Accutane visa fans who had been waiting for him.

A final quick impromptu autograph in the buy Accutane visa dealer room was from Mark Ryan, voice of Bumblebee and buy Accutane visa Jetfire from the movies, who signed some free movie Robot Heroes we got.

no presciption Cytotec

After the buy Accutane visa flurry of autographs, we headed over to get seats for buy Accutane visa the day’s panels which included Weird Al and buy Accutane visa David Kaye, Peter Cullen, along with the big panel of the buy Accutane visa day the Hasbro Review and Q&A. All 3 panels were pretty full. The Weird Al and buy Accutane visa David Kaye one was a little odd and gave us a buy Accutane visa taste of how some fans are weird. They asked the pair of voice actors to buy Accutane visa repeat certain lines and had some groan-worthy questions. It still was a buy Accutane visa fun panel that got a lot of laughs.

The Hasbro Review panel showed a buy Accutane visa bunch of upcoming toy releases which included RotF and TFA figures. There were lots of “oohs” and “aahs” when the TFA figures were shown like Arcee and buy Accutane visa Cybertron Ratchet. It still was just a taste of what was to buy Accutane visa come with tomorrow’s Hasbro Designers panel, however.

Peter Cullen’s panel also had buy Accutane visa a full room as well and he came out to buy Accutane visa lots of cheers. He did do some of humorous bits with his other voiced characters like Eeyore meeting Ironhide and buy Accutane visa the like. The same awkward questions were asked, and unfortunately it buy Accutane visa began to turn into every Q&A person asking for buy Accutane visa a hug or an autograph, because they had missed the earlier session. Those bits put a buy Accutane visa damper on the panel, but again Peter seemed thoroughly moved by all the buy Accutane visa fan affection from the room.

Jessica had buy Accutane visa been a bit sneaky while I was at the panels and buy Accutane visa picked up a few things for me secretly. A Voyager class of RotF The Fallen (which I thought was too expensive), a Dan Khana Alternators Sunstreaker print (because I like Sunstreaker), and Unicron.com’s Animated Allspark set. Also as it buy Accutane visa happened I won a door prize on this day for 2 IMAX passes. My final dealer room buy for buy Accutane visa the day was a sketch request from LilFormers artist Matt Moylan.

By this buy Accutane visa point the both of us were pretty exhausted. Jessica was already back at the buy Accutane visa room napping, and I soon joined her. We had been buy Accutane visa living on little sleep and had woken up quite early for buy Accutane visa this morning’s autograph lines. There was still one final event for buy Accutane visa the day that we needed some rest for.

The official BotCon party of 09 was held at the buy Accutane visa Paramount Studios movie lot. We got dressed, went to wait in line, then buy Accutane visa hopped on a bus for a ride to the studio. They had buy Accutane visa set up a concert stage, tables, and buffet stations on their downtown-themed backlot. We got there early and buy Accutane visa were able to get some food and a table before most of the buy Accutane visa others showed up. Stan Bush, his band, and Vince DiCola played a buy Accutane visa bunch of different music on the stage; culminating in old Transformers animated movie classics like “The Touch” and “Dare”. The food was okay and buy Accutane visa the drinks were kinda expensive. It was also a bit cold and buy Accutane visa so Jessica and I traded off wearing our single jacket we brought.

Highlights of the buy Accutane visa Paramount Party were Jessica and I meeting and speaking with Weird Al, taking photos in front of movie Ironhide, watching Tyrese Gibson drive Ratchet into the buy Accutane visa backlot, and listening to Peter Cullen and Tyrese joking up on the stage.

The final treat of the buy Accutane visa evening was a special screening of RotF footage in the buy Accutane visa Paramount theater. We were escorted to the theater where we had buy Accutane visa to give up our cellphones and cameras due to the buy Accutane visa security. We were initially told we were only going to buy Accutane visa see the trailers again, but then the director Michael Bay made a buy Accutane visa surprise appearance with much hoopla. He showed us two clips from buy Accutane visa the film: Devastator combining together and Bumblebee versus Rampage. It was awesome seeing these two bits before the buy Accutane visa movie even came out, especially the Devastator scene. The fans really dug these scenes and buy Accutane visa were discussing them as we went back to the party.

We hung out around the buy Accutane visa lot a bit longer until the buses came to take us back to buy Accutane visa the convention center.

Buy Accutane visa

Sunday was the buy Accutane visa final day of the convention. There were a few panels and buy Accutane visa the dealer room was open, but it was going to buy Accutane visa be a short day since we were going to drive home.

Jessica stayed back at the buy Accutane visa room to pack up all of the stuff I had buy Accutane visa accumulated into our car. I went back to the convention center one last time and buy Accutane visa picked up my LilFormer’s sketch of Sunstreaker that buy Accutane visa was quite awesome. With my last few dollars burning a hole in my pocket, I walked around the buy Accutane visa dealer room looking for pretty much anything to buy. Should I buy more WST? Alternity? Something else imported? I finally broke down and picked up a Toys R’ Us exclusive set of Whirl finasteride no dr contact and Bludgeon as my final toy purchases of the show (which we sadly found at retail prices on our way home).

I left the buy Accutane visa dealer room a final time and headed back to the panel room for buy Accutane visa the Michael McConnohie and Gregg Berger panel. The pair of classic voice actors had buy Accutane visa a really great panel that played to the fans. The fans themselves seemed to buy Accutane visa be better this time around with their Q&A.

The final big-daddy panel was the Hasbro Designer’s panel. This was the buy Accutane visa one all the fans came to see. We got to buy Accutane visa see what new figures were planned for the next few years, extended from buy Accutane visa what we saw at the Saturday panel. Prototypes and concepts were shown. No photos were allowed of either Hasbro panel, but personal highlights were RotF Bludgeon, and all the TFA figures like Blackout, Thundercracker, and Wingblade Optimus Prime. Unfortunately the Q&A part of the buy Accutane visa panel was cut short by a visit from Tyrese Gibson again. I stayed for buy Accutane visa a little while he talked, but left shortly after.

I stepped out of the buy Accutane visa center, waited a few minutes for Jessica in the car, and buy Accutane visa then we headed off back to Arizona. My first BotCon experience was now over.

We did stop at several stores on the buy Accutane visa way home looking for other RotF figures that had been released, which weren’t available at the show except for crazy prices. We didn’t find anything RotF, but we did find the Superion box set which I had buy Accutane visa been looking for the entire show. Luckily it was available at a buy Accutane visa Target right near our house.

Buy Accutane visa

I did enjoy my first BotCon, but it wasn’t quite as awesome as I had buy Accutane visa hoped. Maybe my expectations were too high or I only remember the buy Accutane visa bad/sub-par stuff?

I sure had buy Accutane visa spent a ton of money on toys at the show. I had buy Accutane visa saved up quite a bit of cash over the previous 6 months to buy Accutane visa be ready, and I pretty much spent it all. I did treat the buy Accutane visa show as if it was going to be my last and buy Accutane visa so I picked up all the stuff I was looking for.

I did end up talking with a buy Accutane visa few people out and around the convention, but I haven’t spoken with them since. I’m not really a buy Accutane visa social Transformers fan and try to keep my collecting private for buy Accutane visa the most part.

The thing I hated the buy Accutane visa most was all the lines. We waited and wasted several hours in a buy Accutane visa multitude of lines. I know that that was because of a buy Accutane visa few things like the RotF toy releases, the fact it buy Accutane visa was in California, and that the show was occurred around the buy Accutane visa release of the second movie. I’m usually pretty patient about waiting, but I came back from buy Accutane visa the show with a extreme distaste for lines. This got worse with the buy Accutane visa lines we were in when RotF was released.

I ended up skipping the buy Accutane visa next convention, BotCon 2010, that was held in Florida this year. I however did procure the buy Accutane visa 2010 toys secondhand. Furthermore, we are planning on attending BotCon 2011 when buy Accutane visa it comes back to Pasadena next year alongside Transformers 3.

I do feel that buy Accutane visa Transformers have taken over a lot of my life. Lots of time and buy Accutane visa money are spent on these things, and I am running out of room due to buy Accutane visa my constant collecting. I thankfully haven’t ventured into vintage G1 figures, nor have buy Accutane visa I spent myself to death. I do feel I need to buy Accutane visa step it back with the upcoming releases. TFA’s last few figures are trickling out, but Classics / Generations (my favorites) are now coming back full swing.

Hopefully when the third movie has passed, I’ll really be buy Accutane visa able to slow down the collecting if not call it quits entirely.

As far as blogging this buy Accutane visa stuff, it sure took me long enough. The first post was back on June 7, 2009, which was 440 days ago. Hopefully I’ll be more timely for next years convention.

Buy Accutane visa

Posted on June 30, 2010 by Andrew Green

Reply how to purchase Cytotec online without rx

I listen to a Transformers podcast called WTF@TFW which is run by some of the guys from the Transformers site, tfw2005.com. TFW is buy Accutane visa one of my favorite sites that I visit regularly looking for buy Accutane visa news and toy sightings. Of the group of different TF sites, I prefer TFW.

On one of the buy Accutane visa podcasts I little while ago, they decided to have a buy Accutane visa contest amongst the fans for a few prizes that were donated to buy Accutane visa them. The contest’s title: WTF@TFW’s Poncho Photoshoot Contest!

A little background on the contest is in order.

There is a character in Transformers Animated called Lockdown. While being lumped into the buy Accutane visa Decepticon forces, he is a bounty hunter in the TFA universe. He’s a shady character, and in a few episodes he wore a poncho while hiding in the buy Accutane visa shadows. The fans have since made a note of his distinctive poncho look. The podcasters and buy Accutane visa TFW decided to run with it.

So the buy Accutane visa idea behind the contest was to submit a single photo of a buy Accutane visa Transformer wearing some sort of poncho. It could be photoshopped, but real ponchos would be buy Accutane visa favored. The concept behind the photo would be judged for buy Accutane visa atmosphere, effectiveness of the poncho, and the humor.

I don’t know why I latched onto the buy Accutane visa idea of submitting an entry for this contest, but it sounded fun and buy Accutane visa simple. no prescription required Cytotec

My immediate idea was to buy Accutane visa use a Transformers Animated toy called Blackout, based off the 2007 movie character, as my primary subject. As it currently stands, due to TFA’s cancellation in the buy Accutane visa states, the only way to get this figure was to import it… and buy Accutane visa import it I did. Being the latest toy I was going to buy Accutane visa receive after a long drought and his grimacing scowl, he seemed a buy Accutane visa perfect candidate.

I foresaw Blackout standing in a buy Accutane visa western town, ready for a gun duel at sunset. He would have buy Accutane visa his hands (claws really) at his side ready to buy Accutane visa draw his weapon like the classic spaghetti westerns.

With the idea in my head, I shared it with Jessica and she was game to help get some shots.

After the buy Accutane visa Japanese Blackout arrived, we went to work fashioning a poncho. Using some quilting squares from buy Accutane visa the local craft store that looked poncho-esque, I cut out some holes in the buy Accutane visa middle and fit on Blackout’s first poncho. With some additional fabric, I decided to buy Accutane visa take my TFA Freeway Jazz and fashion a poncho for him as well to be Blackout’s adversary in a duel.

Initial tests we made inside, with a buy Accutane visa projector in the background. This didn’t work as I intended because of several factors: no buy Accutane visa good western town backgrounds to display, the projection wasn’t wide enough, and the lighting was terrible.

We quickly hopped outside into the buy Accutane visa hot Arizona night to shoot in our front yard. We have buy Accutane visa some desert landscaping in our front yard (no grass anywhere, even in the back) with some large sandstone boulders along a buy Accutane visa riverbed. We plopped the two plastic toys down in the rocks and buy Accutane visa took some test shots.

The “natural” lighting from buy Accutane visa our porch lights actually lit the scene quite well when buy Accutane visa using a long exposure. It was a nice soft yellow-orange that buy Accutane visa matched the hue of the rocks.

The one issue is that we had to place Jessica’s DSLR flat on the buy Accutane visa hot concrete to get the right angle. This meant I had buy Accutane visa to lay flat on my stomach on the hot concrete driveway. Lots of tiny little bugs and buy Accutane visa beetles were also flying around us as we shot. Zovirax from canada

I was pretty happy with the buy Accutane visa initial shots but, Jessica was correct in that they needed something a buy Accutane visa bit more. The ponchos needed a kick… maybe tiny little hats?

Over the buy Accutane visa next few days, Jessica picked up some tassel-like fringe and buy Accutane visa some tiny little black cowboy hats. Using some tape and buy Accutane visa some scissors the ponchos for both characters got a little bit more bling.

We had buy Accutane visa tried some other shots in the front, but I kept coming back to buy Accutane visa the idea of blurred shooter in the foreground with Blackout in focus, scowling in the buy Accutane visa background. We had tweaked some of the positioning and actually started to buy Accutane visa get some eerie glowing sun / bright full moon shots. The cause was the buy Accutane visa long exposure we were using coupled with the street light in the buy Accutane visa background getting blurred. The shot to the left almost made it buy Accutane visa as my final choice, but the ponchos and character positioning just wasn’t as good as my final selection.

Jessica also took a buy Accutane visa few cool shots that she had thought up, and the shot to buy Accutane visa the right is one of those. The two figures look good dueling on the buy Accutane visa boulder or cliffside.

On the buy Accutane visa morning that the final submittable photo was due, I looked through my favorite shots and buy Accutane visa chose the image at the very top of this post. I sent off the buy Accutane visa image to the podcast’s gmail account and waited.

On a buy Accutane visa prior contest, a poetry contest, it had taken them a while to buy Accutane visa judge the entries and choose a winner. In addition, their 100th podcast was coming up and buy Accutane visa that was bundled with the fact that Botcon 2010 was also just around the buy Accutane visa corner. I did not expect the crew to pick any winners anytime soon. The only hint that buy Accutane visa I had to the status of the contest was that buy Accutane visa they posted that there were 41 entries.

Much to buy Accutane visa my surprise a week before Botcon I got a stealthy private message on TFW from buy Accutane visa one of the guys on the podcast, Vangelus. He coyly asked if myself and buy Accutane visa three others in the same message were going to be attending Botcon. That sure was strange and buy Accutane visa out of the blue, especially when there were 4 prizes for buy Accutane visa the contest…

As it buy Accutane visa turned out, just a little while later when I got a buy Accutane visa response from him, I did end up placing in the buy Accutane visa contest. In fact, I got third place out of the buy Accutane visa 41. And in addition to that, I got to pick between 2 of the buy Accutane visa remaining prizes: Alternity Bumblebee and Japanese Animated Lockdown, neither of which I have.

Of the buy Accutane visa original 4 prizes, Alternity Bumblebee would have been the prize I would have buy Accutane visa picked from the 4. As luck would have it that was the buy Accutane visa one I got to pick!

I responded with my desired prize and buy Accutane visa was told not to tell anyone that I won until podcast episode 100 was up for buy Accutane visa everyone to hear. At this point I was feeling pretty good and buy Accutane visa proud of my photo.

A few days pass and just before Botcon, WTF@TFW episode 100 was released. That morning I loaded up iTunes, downloaded the buy Accutane visa podcast, and synced it for the drive to work; ready to buy Accutane visa hear the results from the crew.

Another odd occurrence that buy Accutane visa preceded episode 100 was that the crew was joined by a buy Accutane visa very special guest on episode 99. That guest was Transformers Animated art director and buy Accutane visa character designer Derrick J. Wyatt. DJW is a enormous Transformers fan that got to work on the last TF cartoon series. The sleek, simple lines and buy Accutane visa designs of the characters were mostly his doing. In addition, he added lots of fanservice into the buy Accutane visa show. He joined the crew on episode 99 and gave his thoughts on the buy Accutane visa latest TF news. As an additional surprised, he also was part of episode 100.

About 5 minutes into the buy Accutane visa 100th podcast, they began talking about the contest winners. They spoke of the buy Accutane visa first two guys and their entries, as well as the number of votes they got for buy Accutane visa each member of the podcast team. First place had 18 points, second place had buy Accutane visa 8 points, and then third and fourth tied at 6 points apiece.

A tiebreaker was needed. That tiebreaker was Mr. Derrick J. Wyatt. While they were recording, Vangelus sent Derrick the buy Accutane visa third and fourth entries to cast his vote. After a bit of deliberation, he chose my entry with Blackout! He also commented favorably on Blackout’s poncho fabric. Having a member of the crew responsible for TFA choose my entry was an buy Accutane visa extra layer of icing on top winning third place. That really made it buy Accutane visa special.

So at the end of it all, I had won third place in the WTF@TFW Poncho Photoshoot Content. I, along with Jessica, had buy Accutane visa taken a great photo and we were proud of our accomplishment. I also gotten a buy Accutane visa free Transformer out of it. In the near future, I should be buy Accutane visa receiving Alternity Bumblebee (seen below) in the mail… all thanks to putting a poncho on a Transformer.
