About 10 days ago, COLTC displayed at Marcon 38. Despite the small layout, we managed to show quite a bit of new stuff.

You're right, it is cute. I like that design. I probably won't steal it though, the smoke is a little dense for me. Hurts my lungs to try to breathe that in. That mini-figure is going to need a trip to the healer, or the apothocary at the very (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
