Hey gang,

Pre-orders are now live for Froggy's and Craig Damon's people.
Froggy has the Torchwood people. Just place my order for Barrowman and Myles.

YAY!! but wait...seems a few are missing...i do hope they add more peeps soon...only one of the 3 i want to see are listed...

[wsmith1966.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, it is like this every year when they start taking pre orders. Once both froggy and Craig get the contracts from the guest. They will add them to the pre order page. You just got to check back often.

[xenite99.livejournal.com]

figured as much...will keep checking and often..thx!!

I know it's early but look at the great names on Craig's photo list and the (at this point) relatively low number of folks on Froggy's list. Awesome sauce! I'd love to see competition improve customer service. Without getting into another how-bad-is-Froggy thread, I will never give Froggy my money again so this is great! Katee FTW!

There is a new company that has started doing photo ops to. They are http://www.celebphotoops.com/
Check them out. I ask them if they were going to do Dragoncon, but they acknowledge that between Froggy and Craig that they most likely won't be doing Dragoncon. They are very nice to work with. I used them at two shows and overall I am please. Froggy isn't as bad as what people make him out to be, cause I think it is mostly coming from people who think the photo op is a meet and greet and it isn't. The people get piss when they want to say stuff to the talent and they have to be told to move along for the next customer and they get mad. I never had any problems, I know he doesn't come off as the most friendly guy. I just think people expect to much.

Well I don't want to create another Froggy bashing thread, so I won't go into details. In a nutshell however, my complaint with Froggy stems from more than one experience, and is entirely related to their customer service and unhappiness with the end result. It does not stem from expecting more from the stars than is promised/delivered. As such, I'm very happy to see better competition this year. In previous years, even when there was another photographer it seemed Froggy had snapped up the bigger stars. This year, so far at least, there's a good mix across the photographers. If fans (customers) let it be known they are happier with an alternative, ideally either 1) the alternatives will get more stars using their service, or 2) Froggy's will improve their customer service. Either one is a win for us.

Oh those prices... I'm glad I have a $20 photo with Jewel from my own camera back in 2008.

I hope Katee also allows photos with our own cameras at her table. Just about all the other BSG people have done so.

[wsmith1966.livejournal.com]

It looks like Katee is with Julie group. When I attended NYCC back in 2010. She was with her and Craig was doing the photo ops then. So my gut feeling is that she won't be doing table shots. But who know, until you get there.

More photo ops should be added right? I am looking for a Joe Flanigan op. Hopefully they do it because before he canceled last year they had them up.

[wsmith1966.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is the start of pre-orders. They always start with a small list of those who already sign their contracts with Froggy and Damon to be photograph. As they get more contracts, okays in; then I am sure they will be listed. Just keep checking back each for any changes.

Thanks for posting this, would have totally missed out otherwise! :)

[wsmith1966.livejournal.com]

I seen Froggy at Wizard World Philly and I ask him when he was going to start pre-orders. He usually starts them sometime in June. That is why I was able to find out about this and pass the news along.

I personally am waiting for them to post the Star Trek TNG cast though I am scared what they will charge seeing as how Patrick Stewart was $200 by himself when he was at con last.

[wsmith1966.livejournal.com]

Lately, PIcard was only about 80-100 dollars at past conventions he attended. He was $200 the first time, because of how much Patrick was charging Froggy to be able to shoot him at photo ops. He later attended Chiller Theatre autograph show later that same year and he was just a $100 dollars for that show. I am sure that the confirm guest of TNG will eventually be available for pre-order soon.

I got on the Froggy website but the Craig Damon site didn't have anything. Is anyone else having this problem?

Still nothing. I hope that froggy has the one that I want eventually

[wsmith1966.livejournal.com]

I just tested the link I sent you for Craig Damon and it worked for me from a pc. It lead me to the page to pre-order Katee, Jewel, Ryan and John photo ops. What guest are you looking to do pre-orders with

[griffindorgirl.livejournal.com]

I want Joe Flanigan. Hopefully the link works soon.

[craftypug.livejournal.com]

YAY!! The Torchwood folks are with Froggy. :) Which means that step one of my plan to spend the weekend stalking... er... following... er.. er... oh heck, basking in the awesomeness that is John Barrowman is set. :)

Now all I need is for James and John to do a concert at DragopnCon. Then I'll need an available cross roads demon to sell my soul for the money. Oh wait. May need that anyway.

Okay, how sad is it that I was automatically looking for the button to "like" this comment? ;p

Btw, am actually considering getting a picture done with Marsters and Barrowman just because I can. Have never paid for a picture before.

[craftypug.livejournal.com]

I attended Toronto Trek (Now Polaris) in 2006 and paid $25 for a photo with Michael Shanks. :-) It's the only time I have paid for a photo with an actor and the photography was not done by Froggy or Craig Damon/JCB. This will be the first time I have ever used Froggy. Will never *ever* use Damon(JCB).

Now that Froggy has added more guests, I really am going to need that cross-roads demon. A photo with Barrowman & Marsters and one with the cast of The Guild. oh dear. }:-P

[ubiquitous-a.livejournal.com]

I'm tempted by both the Barrowman/Marsters pic opportunity as well as that with the men of True Blood (Joe Manganiello....*drool*). We'll see what I finally decide I can afford. :)
