I was sure that they put my entry to Action Figure 3" to 9" Category somewhere here. It's the smallest entry (Iron Man).

Final Words: The two-day convention was fun and enjoyable. Bigger than last year. But there was a bit of chaos at the registration of the Customized Action Figure Competition. They must have more people on the Secretariat next year (must be a low turnout of volunteers). Hope they address this next year.
