Photo of the day: Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer sign their new line of Venture Bros toys

The Venture Bros have been a big attraction at the con all weekend with various Adult Swim panels and cast appearances throughout. Today I attended the venture-filled panel of joys featuring creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer, as well as voice actors James Urbaniak and Patrick Warburton (my personal favorite due to his role as The Tick in Fox’s short-lived live action adaptation).

Seeing Jackson and Doc is always great, though I was much more mesmerized by the other two voice talents. Both Urbaniak and Warburton thoroughly mesmerized my ears considering that their normal everyday voices sound pretty much exactly like the characters they play. All four panelists were indeed characters in and of themselves. The panel took a huge detour when Doc Hammer blasted off on an unbelievably long tangent about the movie “Incognito,” and Warburton seemed to give more shout outs to his 17 year old son than the show, but it was all good fun.

Eating around the lo-carb supplements, I still found a hearty and filling meal in the form of an epic preview reel for the upcoming “new season” (essentially the second half of season 4). The cast gave plenty of insight and commentary regarding the new season; just enough to tease but not enough to spoil. Later in the day, the two creators showed up at the Entertainment Earth booth to sign autographs and promote their new line of Venture Bros toys (or dolls or action figures or whatever you want to call them)!

Beautifully sculpted and dressed in real fabric, the toys look fantastic so far consisting of Brock Samson, the Monarch, Dr. Venture, Dean Venture, and Comic-Con exclusives Henchmen 21 and 24. More characters in the line are on the way and all will be available from Entertainment Earth and probably a bunch of other places. The first series of these is available for pre-order now with a vague estimated ship date of next month. Collect them all and you can reenact past episodes as you wait for the new ones to start airing on September 12th! Go Team Venture!

Full convention recap coming up next, so stick around.
