Amazing Comic Con Returns to Houston on Sept 9-11!

In two weeks the Amazing Comic Con crew heads to Houston for their third annual Amazing Houston Comic Con!

Brown Convention Center, has an awesome line-up again this year that includes legendary X-Men writer Chris Claremont, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman, superstar Marvel artist Steve McNiven, Chad Hardin, Mat Nastos, Rick Hoberg and Tony Fleecs.

The Can Opener Resin Figure by Huck Gee

Check out Huck Gee’s newest resin creation, The Can Opener! Ever since The DAME was first introduced, it dominated the battlefield. The massive diesel machines turned the tide of many an early battle. However, the enemy was quick to reciprocate with their newly designed, powerful UNTZ machines. This led to the large lumbering tin cans clashing on muddy fields for years before some engineer worth his weight in gold had the novel idea of trying to crack the enemy's plated shells with something different… Something like… The Can Opener!

What if they could build smaller, less powerful, but nimble, diesel suits of armor that could run circles around the slower moving enemy? If we found some “death wish” fools willing to pilot them, and they were quick enough, they would be able to outmaneuver the comparably slow UNTZ units. The enemy can't hit what they can't catch. And while traditional small arms would be useless, maybe the little guys can blindside them, get in close enough to hammer some chinks in their armor, crack 'em open, drop in some TNT... and then run like hell.

When you gotta crack some mechs, you send in The Can Openers. Get in there fast, hit em hard and scurry to safety. Hit em, crack em, blow em or trip em... whatever it takes. The Can Opener stands 7” tall, comes signed and numbered, and is limited to just 10 pieces. Collectors can purchase this epic new figure at noon PDT today, Friday, August 26th, at the Huck Gee online store for $850.
