I just got back home from a trip to Seattle's Emerald City Comic Con. Met up with 3 ladies (and the daughter of one) with whom I've been chatting on-line for over 10 years, but had only met one of them in person before. We did a cosplay day as the lunch ladies from the Stargate Atlantis cafeteria. Great fun! But no dolls! Honestly, hundreds of things for sale including figurines, but nothing articulated or that I'd call a real doll. Sad. I ended up with 2 new tees and a handful of books.
One of the high points was meeting my favorite author (and her delightful husband) and getting her autograph on one of my favorite trilogies in one lovely edition. Misty also signed some bookmarkers for my gal pals who were most delighted! Best part, I might have heard some spoilers about the next book and now I can hardly wait!
While I was there, the new Disney LE Briar Rose doll went on sale and I stayed up late one night and was able to order one. She was waiting for me when I got home this evening.
