I received my item in perfect condition the 20th and have been enjoying it! Thank you so much abbyshot, and here's some pictures for you to use as you would like.

Rick from British Columbia, Canada


Hey guys,

Just thought I'd let you know that I was struck down by a maniac wielding a lightsaber on the set of "The Lab with Leo Laporte" while wearing my Kingdom Hoodie earlier this month. It was part of the cold open for the episode in which I showed how to turn yourself into a ghostly dead Jedi using Photoshop. The show should air in September.

Donn from Fan Expo 2007 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

This final picture was taken during our recent trip to Fan Expo in Toronto: Donn instantly fell in love with our Deckard Version 2.0. We can easily see why, it looks great on him! Cool fact: Donn writes for the famous sci-fi magazine Starlog! You never know who you'll meet at your next convention!

Thanks so much to everyone who sent in pictures this month, and to everyone else: keep 'em coming!

Cloak Yourself in Mystery for Halloween!

AbbyShot has created an original Halloween product that you can really sink your teeth into! Dubbed "The Cloak", this long flowing garment (made from our beautiful pleather) is an amazing addition to anyone's Halloween or Gothic wardrobe. Your options are numerous as well: black or red lining, and either a Dracula-style high collar, no collar, or a deep hood. The video above shows off the movement of the Cloak featuring the optional hood.

The Cloak is just one element of our Halloween plans for this year: we've got a rare opportunity for you to purchase our classic hand-made coats at unheard-of prices. Until October 12th, unlined versions of our set-sized coats are available at discounted prices, perfect for Halloween shopping! How cool is this sale?

AbbyShot Con Report Summer 2007

The end of summer was an exciting time for AbbyShot as we brazenly took on two cons in two weeks! Yes, we’re still in the recovering stages right now but we’ll be alright.

Con #1 – Fan Expo 2007!

This massive con took place in Toronto, Ontario from August 24^th to the 26^th, and there’s no doubt that this is the biggest fan convention in Canada. There really was a little something for everyone: horror fans could visit makeup artists to get that “recently slashed up” look, gaming fans were treated to the “World Series of Video Games”, Star Trek fans could meet Jonathan Frakes, and Adam West fans could, well, meet Adam West!

Of course, fans of high-quality replica clothing looked no further than our AbbyShot booth! It was our first time exhibiting in the Toronto area, so many new fans were introduced to the wonder that is: AbbyShot. Judging from the pictures, they liked what they saw!

Con #2 – Dragon*Con 2007!

Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia is an annual tradition for AbbyShot, and it continues to be a thrill year after year. It took place from August 31^st to September 3^rd, and when the crowds poured into the Exhibition Halls we understood why they call the place “Hot-lanta”! The people were great, the costumes were fun, karaoke rocked once again, and the AbbyShot booth was hopping for four days straight.

It was great to catch up with old friends at this con (especially the Browncoats), and there were even a few new fans introduced to AbbyShot for the first time! Not very many, mind you; we’re well on our way to taking over Atlanta! When our AbbyShot gear looks as cool as it does in these pictures, you can easily understand the appeal!

Were any of you (our readers) lucky enough to visit either of these cons? If so, share your convention highlights with us in the comments! If not, then what conventions should we attend next summer? Let us know - we'd love to hear about your favourite con!
