It only promises \"TBA!\", but the logos show what they had in mind: Yu-Gi-Oh!, back when Upper Deck was distributing the cards over here; Vs. System, Upper Deck's own Marvel and DC card game that started in 2004; and HeroClix, the WizKids figures you click around the dial in the base as they take damage. Upper Deck lost Yu-Gi-Oh! at the end of 2008 and shut Vs. System down a month later. The fine print says guests were subject to change and there were fees for signing, just like every show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🦇 The show itself\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFX stood for Florida eXtravaganza, and it billed itself as six shows in one: toys and collectibles, a comic book convention, a sci-fi and fantasy fair, the Festival 'O' Horror, a doll and bear expo, and anime and gaming. The card calls this one the 17th annual, which puts the first FX back around 1990. It started as a toy show and grew into a full-blown convention, and it was a staple of Orlando for more than 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2006 was the year it moved out to the Central Florida Fairgrounds. People who were there wrote that the longest lines were for George A. Romero, Robert Englund and Sid Haig, and that Stanislav Ianevski had the young ladies screaming. The Happy Days gang turned up too, with Cindy Williams joining Don Most, Anson Williams and Erin Moran.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horror side has some real history on it. Clayton Hill was the famous \"Sweater Zombie\" in George Romero's \u003cem\u003eDawn of the Dead\u003c\/em\u003e (1978), and his wife, Sharon, was the Nurse Zombie. They got those first movie parts out of Pittsburgh, where they'd been doing operettas, and later became fixtures on the horror convention circuit. Clayton passed away in 2009. And one of the sponsors is gone too: KB Toys, which started as the Kaufman Brothers' candy wholesale business in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1922 and became \"Kay-Bee,\" closed its last stores in February 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🏡 Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrame it so both sides show, or pick your side: the horror side for a monster-movie room, the color side for a comic or toy collection. It's a perfect gift for anybody who went to FX, or anybody who grew up on Freddy, Hurley or the Happy Days gang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relatedBlock\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔎 More From The Vintage \u0026amp; Antique Gifts Archive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/rare-vintage-1978-les-primitifs-belgium-movie-poster-cannibal-morbid\"\u003eVintage Belgian Movie Poster Les Primitifs 🩸 1978 Primitif Indonesian Jungle Cannibal Horror\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/rare-vintage-1978-spawn-slithis-belgium-movie-poster-classic-cult-horror\"\u003eVintage Belgian Movie Poster Slithis 🐊 1978 Spawn of the Slithis Nuclear Sea Monster Cult Horror\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/vintage-1992-bram-stokers-dracula-movie-pin-francis-ford-coppola-film\"\u003eVintage 1992 Bram Stoker's Dracula Pin Back Button 📌 Francis Ford Coppola Film Promo - Gothic Vampire Horror Movie Collectible Pinback\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage and Antique Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44517892292840,"sku":"VAG-8228554473704","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/2718\/4037\/files\/il_fullxfull.4976708941_4tfm.jpg?v=1785439503","url":"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/2006-festival-horror-comic-con-anime-huge-extravaganza-show-card","provider":"Vintage and Antique Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
