    Normally each week we take a close look at a collectible or two. Last week, WonderCon took place in Anaheim. While we were running around doing interviews, Norm Chan (from Tested.com) was busy running around taking pictures of cosplayers and collectibles.

    For those that haven't had a chance to attend a large comic convention, we wanted to give a taste of what else there is. It isn't just comic book creators, cosplayers and comic books. There are several venders there as well and many sell items that are a little harder to come by. Take a look at just a sample of what was there.

    Interested in some Obama action figures? You have your choice.

    You probably already saw our video with the president of eFx Collectibles. Here's a few more shots of their Avengers and Darth Vader props.

    Going to conventions also gives you a chance to actually see, in person, items you've only seen online. Check out this wall of POP Vinyl figures/bobbleheads, along with some Mini-Muggs.

    What about collectible spaceships? These highly detailed items tend to get a little pricey. But they are pretty dang cool.

    For some reason I still come across many people that don't associate Star Wars with comic books. There have been comic adaptations since the movies first began. If you ever go to a comic convention, you can guarantee you'll come across some Star Wars merchandise.

    Those are some cool looking figures, but those prices can be insane. Not that the level of detail isn't worth it for most. I'd just never pay that much for a figure.

    All awesome! Squirrelpool is just brilliant. I've been tempted to buy a figure more than once. Luckily, I always come to my senses before dropping $300 on something I'll place on a shelf and admire occasionally.

    The Avengers and Star Wars props, statues and other figures are incredible. That Captain America is so boss, so is Magneto and surprisingly, that Archangel figure is a real standout. The Rorschach figure is very fluid and the detail incredible, a lot of action with him just walking.

    Some of the things shown, however, have me scratching my head.

    The Catwoman, is, again, very nice. The Rocket figure from Sucker Punch is great. Naturally the winner here has to be Squirrelpool.

    @kfhrfdu_89_76k: The female statue is "Rocket" from the movie "Sucker Punch" and the giant Samurai with the Gatling gun, as ChrisTobin pointed out, is also from the movie, he battled "Babydoll" in the opening sequence.

    Kotobukia Supergirl figures have been around a while. At first glance they look kind of cool, if you don't mind the whole anime take on Kara, or the silly up-skirt pose. What the pics shown here do not show is the massive case of pink eye on Kara. Once you see it, it's kind of hard to not focus on it. It's brought up as the worst flaw in a few reviews I've read in the past. Being a fan of SG, I was really tempted to grab one of these at one point, but ultimately passed on it for the flaws I've listed.
