Missed these posts the other week..
I went to the Sunday Sydney Comic Con just to meet Hal Rayle, a bucket list thing to talk to someone who actually voiced G1. I got a picture with him which he was happy about about because apparently I was the first to do so (this was very late in the day) then went back to the signing thing. He signed my Predator 2 dvd cover and started talking to me in the Predator voice which was interesting.
He was also going to give me a signed card with a bunch of his characters on it (Snarl, Raphael [he filled in on TMNT sometimes], Deep Six from GI Joe which I also grew up with via videos, etc ) but his "supervisor" next to him shot us down (apparently that would of cost me another $30 or something, not being a convention regular I didn't realise), was put off by attitude that went with the shoot down, especially since Hal himself seemed content... Exchanged pleasantries with him for another minute or two then left... realising I'd forgotten to bring up anything G1.
So, meeting a G1 voice actor was cool, but first convention experience, did not enjoy, definitely not my thing.
