Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Kathy has always enjoyed watching cartoons, anime, Sci-fi/fantasy/action movies, and reading comic books/Manga and collecting toys, since she was a little girl. She still owns many of her old toys, which are still in their original packages.
She also has attended San Diego Comic-Con since 1994 (20 years) and has been volunteering at the San Diego Comic-Con since 1998 (16 years).
Kathy is a genuine Fangirl at heart, growing up in the 80’s and 90’s when being a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, or comic books was considered “uncool”, she knew that she liked those genres and characters, and would still express her interest in them without a care in the world.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
Besides toys, Kathy has a large collection of T-shirts, handbags and other accessories that have some sort of character or logo from the shows, movies or characters she likes (i. e. Star Wars, Wonder Woman, Sailor Moon, etc.) These T-shirts are part of Kathy’s everyday attire, since she was young.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
For Kathy, there is a tie for two dolls that she will not get rid off, no matter what. One is her Toffee Hellboy fan doll, made by Huckleberry toys, which she bought as a 2011 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive and was signed by its designer she really thinks is cute.
The other doll is a Pullip Wonder Woman Doll she bought as an exclusive at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con. She also loves this doll very much.
