Signature Brag

[PernicketyPony]

There was a comic-book convention in Melbourne last weekend. After lining up for 10 hours over two days in an enclosed space with tens-of-thousands of strangers...I finally got Stan Lee to sign my pony:

Because of her bright colours, her wings, her jewel-eyes and, of course, the fact that her cutie mark consists of a series of masks, I have always considered masquerade to be the superhero of G1, so she was an easy choice for me when selecting a pony to take with me.

Stan Lee is one of my greatest heroes. For as long as I can remember, my older brother has read and collected Spiderman comics, so I have grown up thinking of Spiderman as another member of the family. Meeting Mr Lee was probably the most exciting experience of my life so far.

I just wanted to share this with you guys. If anyone else had photos of ponies they have had signed by anyone, please feel free to post them in this thread. I'd love to see!

Oh thats so awesome!! Congrats!

That is fantastic! What a great item for him to sign that you will be able to keep and have special meaning! I'm so happy to hear that you got to meet him! Congrats!

Congrats that has must been so much fun.

Thanks, guys! It sure was fun...except for the lining up, of course. I'm thinking of keeping Masquerade separate from the rest of my herd now and maybe keeping her with my comics. I'd like to buy a nice bell-jar or something like that to keep her in.

Congrats! Stan Lee is hardcore. Meeting him must have been awesome!

That sounds like a neat idea but just watch out for moisture being in there.

[Eluluu]

maybe if you toss a couple of those 'do not eat no matter how much you want to' packets in there it will be fine =]

That's a pretty cool brag.  Not only did you get to meet your idol but he signed a pony for you!

Diamond and Eluluu: I hadn't even considered the moisture issue (very inexperienced collector, here!) so I certainly appreciate the heads-up. I think that putting some of those desiccant  bags (or whatever they're called) in there is a great idea.

Yurusumaji and Kiwimlp: You're both right...meeting Stan Lee was an amazing experience. I had not realised how excited I would be until I actually got to the part of the line where I could see him...then I started to tremble..it would have been pretty funny to watch, actually!

He actually played a little with Masquerade, too! He trotted her about on the table in font of him and said "What a lovely little horsey. I think I'm in my second childhood!" *swoons*

Actually, here's a photo of me and Masquerade after the signing...I look about a tenth as excited as I actually was.
