Grayskull Con 2013 in Germany - Official Thread and News and Stuff!

[13977]

This due to a request of a very confused Finn who sat all the way through this Panel where the famed Sebastian was talking, and not understanding a single word...

Hey Juk, are you planning on doing your planned panel/presentation from last year that was on your failed USB stick? It would be great to finally see that

Hey Juk, are you planning on doing your planned panel/presentation from last year that was on your failed USB stick? It would be great to finally see that

This year I have a new panel-topic.

The material from the old presentation will be incorporated in upcoming Scrolls of Eternia-videos under the "MYP Retrospective" banner.

[JVS3]

Awesome! I so wish I could be there to see that.

[DJ Force]

Well... Just hop onto a plane and come here

Well... Just hop onto a plane and come here

I definitely wish I could! I think Grayskull Con is a great show and folks should definitely go check it out. I'm thinking maybe 2014 once I can save up some money.

[DJ Force]

It would be SO awesome to have you again at the show in 2014. Let´s try to make it happen, shall we?

[JVS3]

*crosses fingers* I hope to!

You all really treated me well and made me feel special while I was there in 2012. Thank you for that! It meant and still means a lot.

[TuShan]

Val, I'll happily drive you around again. Or you can come visit me at my place this time

[Stygian360]

This is awesome... and the raffle prize of a Filmation sub is a great idea! Hope it's an awesome con.

[DJ Force]

@ "don't panic" I want that as a T-Shirt!

I think I can arrange for that

[DJ Force]

He-Fans and She-Ravers!

We kind of teased it over the past few days, but now it is finally official: We have the great pleasure to announce our latest guest, the master of swords, Mr. Anthony "BLADE" De Longis!



As most of you know, Anthony played the character of Blade in the 1987 live-action movie. He also was co-choreographer and Frank "Skeletor" Langella's broadsword stunt double. Anthony also demonstrated his passion for MOTU and his joy for the fans last year, when he appeared in an advertisement for John F. Carrolls third MOTU fanfilm "Trials of Darksmoke".

Even though Anthony's passion for MOTU is very high, he just can't travel to Germany for free. While Anthony is able to step back from a lot of his regular booking fees, there are still travel and accommodation expenses for him and his assistant that can not be covered by the convention fees alone.

That´s why we want to introduce the "Meet and Greet" program!



Within the MAG we offer several cool perks that fans can claim. And when there is clearly enough fan demand until May 31st, we will be able to welcome the master of blades to Grayskull Con in Muennerstadt, Germany.

Stage 1: For 5€ you can enjoy a screening of his award winning short films "Blood Trail" (15 mins) and "Blood Trail 2 - The Trail Home" (45 mins) with Q&A afterwards. As with all good film screenings, a bag of popcorn is also included.

Stage 2: For 10€ you will get a fantastic signed and personalized souvenir photo of you and Anthony De Longis, printed on high quality photo paper.

Stage 3: For 20€ you can take part in his spectacular swordfighting workshop.

Stage 4: Finally, 50€ grants the actual MAG. This option is strictly limited to 20 people and includes the following perks:

- Screening of the films from stage 1.
- Signed souvenir photo from stage 2.
- Up to 5 additional free autographs on items you provide (e.g. movie poster, photos, dvd cover etc.)
- Reserved front row seats in all panels and shows that Anthony participates in.
- Lunch on Saturday with Anthony and all our other convention guests in a separate dining room.

And there you have it! Good luck to all of us in making this happen!

Wow, this looks like an awesome show! If only I wasn't half a world away!

[JVS3]

Very cool with Mr. De Longis!

[DJ Force]

No announcement for today, but instead a little teaser.

Every year we are doing our best to come up with cool little con-exclusives that fans might like.

In 2011 we had "The Grey King", sculpted by the awesome Tom "Royalt1us" Tolman next to the Dungeon Diorama base sculpted by the equally awesome Don Schomer (and if we had known that 2 years later a Castle Grayskull playset would be available without this dungeon piece, we would have offered more )

Last year we had a brand new mini-comic drawn by the master of vintage-style, Daniele "Danbrenus" Spezzani, and propably the hugest MOTUC Ultimate Battleground poster ever made, coming in at almost 50" by 24" and drawn by the incredible Andrew "Iceman" Cramer.

This year we´ll have some exciting con-exclusives again. And one of them will be sculpted by non less than the creator of the impressive MOTUC-scaled Filmation Attak Trak and sculptor of boxart-artist Rudy Obrero´s Manta Raider.
Yes, I am talkig about the fantastic Joe Amaro!

We will not yet announce what he´s sculpting, but it will be in scale to some of the largest MOTU pieces ever made in MOTU history. We couldn´t be more excited about this and we are looking forward to seeing first pictures of the sculpt. But knowing Joe, we already know it will be brilliant.

Stay tuned!
