NEW!
CHECK PROGRESS OF CURRENT SIGNINGS
November 30 |
Gary X
In order to further keep everyone apprised of where our
signings are at any particular step AFTER the orders have completed, we've
created a new
SIGNINGS STATUS page. We hope this new feature is useful to everyone who
orders autographs from our private signings.
SECOND
EWOK ADDED TO CONNOISSEUR SERIES
November 25 |
Gary X
Things are beginning to happen for the January release
of the Connoisseur Series! Our second Ewok, Kiran Shah, has been
added to the roster of signers. The project is starting to see some momentum
and we're pleased that Kirin has joined Kendra Wall for this signing!
U.S.
POSTAL RATES TO INCREASE IN JANUARY
November 22 |
Gary X
"The Governors of the
U.S. Postal Service today voted to accept the Postal Rate Commission's
recommendations to increase most postal rates and fees by approximately 5.4
percent across-the-board to take effect January 8.
This rate increase - the first since 2002 - is needed to fulfill the
requirement of a federal law passed in 2003. That law requires the Postal
Service to establish a $3.1 billion escrow account, with use of the funds to
be determined by Congress at a later date. Without this federal mandate, it
would not have been necessary to raise rates in 2006."
You can read the rest of this news release and see all
postal rates being increased
HERE.
As a result of this and in order to control expenses,
Wattographs will increase shipping prices by .50 beginning in January.

Alan
Harris

The signing
with Alan Harris took place on Friday and Saturday this past
weekend.
I met up
with Alan and his wife Win on Friday night for dinner and a few drinks. I
got all of the Wattographs
pictures signed and then the following day met Alan again in my local toy shop
where Alan was kindly promoting their Star Wars day to offer support to
the shop and to get the remainder of the items signed.
Alan was in
good form over dinner and was telling me about the actors he had appeared
alongside or acted as a stand in for including such luminaries as John Wayne and
Clint Eastwood. We then discussed his many roles in the
Star Wars films, where he told
me he was the following:

WATTOGRAPHS
HOTH TROOPER SIGNING COMPLETED!!!!
November 16 |
Scott
Great News! I received
the items from Norway today. Everything looks fantastic. I will begin
shipping starting tomorrow. All items will be shipped by next Monday
(November 21). I still have to put the COAs together and get your items
ready for shipment. I
will be quite busy over the next few days, so I will only be able to ship so
many a day. I promise that all items will ship by Monday.
Thank you again for your
patience as this was quite a lengthy process. We
think once you see your item(s) you will agree this was worth the wait.
We thought you'd also
like to
take a peek at all the different image types we had available for our
Hoth Troopers signing. This, of course, is the signing that was the
precursor to Wattographs deciding to bring about our
Connoisseur Series!
EMPIRE
DAY REPORT FROM THE PYEMAN
November 16 |
Gary X
|
For
those of you not in the know Empire Day started in 1994 and was
primarily a fan event and was the launching pad of many actors signing
careers such as Jeremy Bulloch and Garrick Hagon.
I
have been fortunate to have met people such as Don Henderson, Shelagh
Fraser, Declan Mulholland and John Hollis – all alas no longer with us –
at these events in the past.
This was the first Empire Day since October 2001 and so I was looking
forward to it re-appearing in my calendar. |

COMING
SOON, THE NEXT EVOLUTION IN STAR WARS AUTOGRAPHS:
THE CONNOISSEUR SERIES
November 3 |
Gary X
 |
Multi-signature items have always been a great seller
and one of the most requested things we get here at Wattographs. With
this in mind, we have decided to launch a new autograph series in 2006:
The Connoisseur Series. This new series will feature multi-signature
items in a (mostly) larger format for the collectors who are serious about
their Star Wars autograph. Our initial project is going to be a
multi-sig Ewok piece, of which we're currently lining up signers (including
some tough and rare signatures).

Please take a look at this exciting new offering
HERE and also take a moment to send us your
THOUGHTS on the Connoisseur Series.

November 3 |
Gary X
Our world-exclusive signing with four of the Norwegian
Hoth Rebel Troopers has been completed in Norway and all items are presently
winging their way back to the United States. As soon as they arrive with
Scott, he'll get them sent out to all of you who ordered. We hope to have
images up soon to show off these fantastic pieces!
REPORT CONFIRMED: JOHN HOLLIS DIED ON OCTOBER 18
November 3 |
Gary X
Confirmation has been made over at The Force dot Net and
Internet Movie Database about John Hollis' passing:
John Hollis, who
played Professor Sondergaard in the Jon Pertwee serial "The Mutants," died
on October 18 in London of natural causes. Hollis had an extensive career in
science fiction roles, including on "The Tomorrow People," "Blake's 7,"
"Adam Adamant Lives," "The Avengers," "A For Andromeda" and in the films "Flash Gordon," the
"Superman" series and "The Day of the Triffids," and is perhaps best known
to fans as Lando Calrissian's aide Lobot in "The Empire Strikes Back".
You can catch up with is long career over at
IMDB.
It's sad that we've lost several SW actors this year.
Hollis was an excellent signer, both through-the-mail and in-person at
conventions.
