About time I wrote about my time at the MCM Expo last Saturday! Sadly I didn't cosplay as Harry Hill because I couldn't find one of those big collared shirts but I have an even better idea for October anyway! :P
Here's a quick comic I did the day before I went: The last panel didn't happen of course, but the first two did! <3
Well not a whole lot to say about the event itself: it was mostly the same as last October in terms of content. Lots of anime shops selling mostly overpriced plush toys and whatnot, a few celebrity signing booths (which this time didn't appear to have said celebs locked in a cage like with Craig Charles last time, you didn't have to buy shit just to talk to them), a bunch of gaming stuff including a Nintendo booth which we didn't get around to checking out. In fact this time all I bought was a copy of 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time' on DVD for a fiver.
Speaking of Stace she has been working on her costume of Ly the Fairy from Rayman 2 since January and she was wearing it on the day! What was extra cool was one of her Devart friends Raygirl went as Rayman on the day, so that's a duo of Rayman characters! Shame there was no rabbids about this time! The Expo was on for two days, and Raygirl also went on the Sunday as Danger Mouse! Lots of people loved Stacey's costume and took photos, in fact I wish I took more myself! :)
So yeah not much to say other than it was good fun again if a little too crowded and stuffy, maybe we should go on a Sunday next time. I wonder if I can pull off this costume idea I have haha.
Look, a Sonic! And no, they're not his wings, that'd be odd!
To be honest though this place is more about the people than anything else, the cosplayers especially. Along with the usual Mikus, Narutos and Final Fantasy characters we saw a lot of excellent and genius costumes from Ace Ventura to Cookie Monster to the Green Giant and more. Didn't get a whole lot of photos but I've put some of them up at Flickr and Stacey has stuck hers up too (we have some of the same shots from slightly different angles lol). Theres hundreds of photos if you search for Mcm expo on Flickr and Devart though.Stacey as Ly (left) and Raygirl as Rayman (right)!
