Mark your calendars: SDCC, WonFes Winter dates announced
If you like to plan ahead, get your calendars out: the dates for San Diego Comic Con 2013 and Wonder Festival 2013 Winter are official and neither is a surprise. First, for you anime and PVC fans, Kaiyodo's Wonder Festival website lists the wintertime installment on Sunday, Feb. 10, 2013, which means I'm going to be spending my birthday the following day catching up on posting WonFes stuff. Meanwhile, San Diego Comic Con's dates have been quietly put up on the Comic Con website, and it's no surprise: July 18-21, 2013, with preview night on Wednesday, July 17, 2013. It's a week later than this year, so let's hope the WonFes committee doesn't get any ideas and moves WonFes 2013 Summer up a week. I'm not hoping to go through that coverage nightmare again ... Also worth noting, the shows will be at their same old venues: Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan, for WonFes and San Diego Convention Center for Comic Con. Both events will be covered here on Tomopop, along with, many more, so stay tuned! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

10:00 PM on 05.20.2013 ACen 2013: Athena's WinkThis isn't what we usually cover, but it is hand-crafted collectible merchandise so I thought creations of Athena's Wink are worth taking a look at. Their booth was run by Carolann Voltarel and Carrie Wink, who spend a lot of...

3:00 PM on 05.20.2013 ACen 2013: Tasty Peach StudiosOver at the recent Anime Central convention, Tasty Peach Studios served up some adorable plushes along with clothing and accessories. But, let's be honest, what I have my eyes on are the plush toys and, boy, are these cu...
