In conversation with our Pauly during an online con in 2021, he had seen my 1/6 scale Beckett figure in the background and we had a nerd moment over it.
Just this past weekend, I was in Vancouver at GateCon...I brought Pauly his very own 1/6 Beckett figure, complete with labcoat and custom Stargate Atlantis box.
I don't know what I was expecting to happen, but I melted at how excited he was about his Beckett figure. He showed any and everyone who would look at it and told them I made it for him...I'm still all melty mush inside.
The picture of us with Empire Movie Memorabilia's Gate was a total surprise to me. I had asked Pauly for a photo with the figure and as his assistant for the day was snapping one right there by his table, he decided that this was more important than a quick selfie, this deserved a photo in front of the Stargate.
I will never forget this.
Beckett will forever hold a special place in my heart as my favorite Atlantis character and Pauly has his own special place in my heart as the absolute sweetheart of a man he has been at every con I've had the pleasure of seeing him at.
For bonus points, our handsome Scot did one set of photo ops in his lovely kilt ensemble and when I say I just about fell over. Mmmhm.
