Hey,
Been crazy this week, the new issue of Toy-Ventures dropped, and I got to cover one of my "top five" Mego lines with the Comic Action Heroes. I struggled with this one a little (can't own everything!) and I reached out to members of the MM and PS communities for help.
I got that help, a lot of it, and hey, thank you all for that. I wanted to nail this coverage, and thanks to many of you, it's a fitting tribute. I hope you agree.
Cheers,
braIN

Entrance to Power-Con will allow you access to the MegoMeet 2023 dealer's block. In addition, there will also be Mego Meet-specific panels, rooms and events that we will announce over the coming months and weeks. Registration for those events will take place at the MM and will not include any extra costs.
Hotel Information: The show hotel is the Hilton, it's across the street, and you don't even have to go outside as the Hilton is connected to the convention center. There is a block of Power-Con/MegoMeet rooms here at a discounted rate, but I'd act fast.
