I love Earl Norem's art! When I was a kid, I had "Wheelie the Wild Boy of Quintesson", and I stared at the artwork for hours. Such a shame that illustrative painting has become almost a lost art. Back in the eighties, movie posters, book covers, everything was painted. Now it's just photoshop. 😢
@GeekExplorers19 күн бұрын
Yeah, his arts incredible, I’ll have to add the Wheelie book to my hunt list! There’s some great digital art but agreed there were so many great posters and covers, I’ve always got an eye some cool retro art!

Glad you had a good time at TFCon. I was fortunate to attend TFCon in Toronto back in 2019 for my 40th (big road trip across Canada for three weeks). Had an amazing time and experience, was a great environment and made several new friends, and I enjoyed how it also had more than transformers, a lot more just 80’s nostalgia which was awesome. The entire event comes across as incredibly well put together though out and professional, especially when you see displays like that of The Chosen Prime. Will you be attending TFNation in August?
@GeekExplorersАй бұрын
Thank you! Wow what an awesome way to spend your Bday. Yeah totally agree it’s an amazing event, great that it’s a bit more far reaching than just TF nostalgia. I viewed it as a one off trip but I really want to figure out a way to afford to go again. I’m away the weekend of TF nation though I’m going to try to make the Friday. Cheers!

@@GeekExplorers would you say it’s worth it especially for the first time
@GeekExplorers2 ай бұрын
@2ndnature777 it’s a tricky one to answer, I’ve enjoyed some of my previous Showmasters events but in Spring the size of it had reduced and last summer it reduced in size hence I didn’t film. If you’re going to meet some specific celebs, see some panels and do a bit of shopping it can be a fun day out. It’s on a much smaller scale than MCM though this does mean it’s less overbearing and can be easier to negotiate. For me I definitely consider it a premium priced day out as I think it’s about £20 for entry and then train and food on top. For the summer one I’ve only ever done the Friday which has been enjoyable as it’s quiet but there’s still some cool cosplays. The main thing is I’ve no idea if it’s going to return to its larger scale from two summers ago or continue to be a smaller scale convention. In March they did have building work going on at the Olympia so that might have been the reason for the smaller size, if that’s finished it might be bigger. Hope that wasn’t to rambling 🙂

Holy cow. Didn't think I'd see them again... But the Celtos dude on your thumbnail (and some of the ones in the cabinets at 5:33) are some of my paint jobs from over 20 years ago. Kev White sculpts. They were some of my very first paint jobs as a professional when I was still in my 20s. Bloody hell lol. Can't believe they still have them (especially as the rights to Celtos were owned by a different company back then too). That's nuts. Nice video... Got a massive nostalgia hit from this. Thanks.

Thank you, it never felt particularly busy to me, even popped outside on Saturday lunch time and there was no queue to get back in. The isles were big and there was so much space allotted for food that I think it helped to relieve the pressure on the rest of the Con floor. Or it could have been busy and I’m just totally oblivious to it 😂 There was a House of Dragons display for the new series but there was constantly a queue to sit on the throne so I skipped it and I totally forgot to film the BBC Doctor Who display. Hopefully there’ll be more movie and TV things in October. Deffo looking forward to what Hasbro do for Transformers at the next one. I’m looking forward to seeing how it links up with EGX.
