Yes, This All Really Happened
I got into New York Comic Con by volunteering at an exhibitor table again this year, but when away from the table I was too busy listening to the two panels I attended to take any photos and didn't get many out on the floor. I do have a shot of a golden retriever service dog dressed up as Nick Fury that will eventually get posted. Getty Images UK shows thumbnails of a lot of cool cosplay from NYCC.
I'll also eventually post some photos of shelves of amazing cable-controlled shoulder dragon puppets by Imaginarium Galleries. They have some photos at their site as well, but you don't get a good an idea of how they look when you're puppeteering them as they sit on your shoulder. (...I don't actually have photos of that either.) They look a lot like critters from Labyrinth. The feathers give a nice effect because they wave gracefully when the character's head or wings move.
At the Venture Bros. panel Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick said they have no footage for the next season of VB yet. Nor scripts. But there's stuff on their Big Board. (Doc explained what they mean by "big board" in a very Redundant Department of Redundancies way.) The next season will probably air... January 2015. With maybe a one-hour special before that. Sometime. They spent the rest of the time answering questions as ridiculously as possible. Always entertaining. One woman showed up to the VB panel in a very accurate Molotov Cocktail costume. It involved a lot of butt cleavage too. No body stocking. Skin. Doc and Jackson: "We never intended for anybody real to wear that!" Cosplayer: "All day people asked me if I knew my butt was hanging out." Doc danced with one of the fan questioners but said afterward he was annoyed they played "Greased Lightning" (a callback to an earlier bit of verbal craziness) and that he couldn't show off his "modern moves" to that music.
Both Doc and Jackson were wearing a kind of black speedsuit with a red, yellow, and orange stripe. This is Doc wearing it.. and not entirely wearing it... when he showed up at the Robot Chicken panel afterward: photos. You can see most of the RC folks wearing their now customary NYCC funny headwear: plush kitty ears. Also, Yes, all the things in these photos actually happened.
A cosplayer dressed as Walter White tossed little baggies of blue "meth" up to the RC panel. The one directed at Macaulay Culkin hit the floor instead of the table, but he said that's fine since he's already carrying some. Seth said something to the extent that the last thing he needs is a newspaper saying that Culkin admitted to possession at Comic Con. One of the panelists was tempted to taste the contents of the packets, that seemed to be candy, before another very sensibly noted that this was something a stranger had just thrown at them so it's probably not a good idea.
There will be a Christmas special in December that they said is named A Born Again Virgin Christmas. I think they said that RC is starting a new season in April. They also talked about Ubermansion, an RC-animation-style series about some misanthropic super heroes, among them Bryan Cranston as the voice of a badly aging Superman-like hero and a female cat-themed hero named The Cooch.
One of the fan questioners, the first one, was weirdly demanding and belligerent, so Breckin Meyer spent the rest of the panel hilariously busting on said person, who was named Emmet.
Do you remember a robot/mecha character named Overkill on a Seth Green show? Because a guy in an amazing 10 ft-tall white robot costume with lines of flashing green lights and a fiber optic glowing green mohawk came in and Seth went nuts (partly in disbelief). The cosplayer first showed up in the middle of the Venture Bros. panel, leading Doc and Jackson to exclaim aloud over Transformers being sent in to kill them.The guy had to be on stilts, and that added to an inhuman effect when Overkill walked. Here are two photos of it I could find online: 1 and 2 (thumbnails of them were visible near the bottom of the Robot Chicken panel photo page). It looked more badass in person; also, the glow of the green lights distorts things a bit in the photo. There were a lot of fine details on the back of the costume too.
When asked if he could sit down, Overkill said that he could sit down, but then he wouldn't be able to get back up.
