HELL YEAH!

My favorite Hot Toys figure that I can’t afford (selling for as much as $600 on eBay) will be sold again through conventions, with Comic-Con being one of them.  Price hasn’t been announced but I’m guessing around $250-$300.  The figure comes with different sculpted heads, as well as another costume. 

Now time to figure out and get stressed on how to secure this item.

This had to to be one of the most fun AX I’ve ever been to.  The first ever hologram concert from Hatsune Miku brought great energy to the expo.  Attendees were really cool and the cosplayers were out in full force.  Some of these costumes are really getting sophisticated, even using mechanical devices to capture the look and feel of their favorite characters.  I love steam punk and they were represented well.  The Luke Skywalker version really stood out from the rest because it took an iconic character and put a new twist to it.

Below are several pics from the …

Here’s my compilation of the best costumes at Anime Expo 2011.  I’m sure I missed a lot more amazing cosplayers because LACC was really packed. Ranking is based on creativity, originality, craftsmanship and just pure FUN.

Enjoy!

Anime Expo in Los Angeles, Ca is in full swing with it’s first day of panels, events and merch finishing up.

Just ’cause the panels and main hall are closed doesn’t mean you have to go home, however.  There’s all kinds of after hours entertainment like karaoke, tabletop gaming, video screenings, all
ages dance, and more continuing through the night.

I am looking forward to Hatsune Miku show, which will be her debut on an American stage – or should I say screen.  This blue-green haired, pixel maiden will be quite the event, she is sure to be the object of …

It was just announced recently that Hatsune Miku, the virtual pop star, will be performing (instead of “live” it’s in 3D) in concert at this year’s Anime Expo in Los Angeles.  The event will take place in the Nokia theater on July 2nd.  The Nokia theater is right next door to the Los Angeles Convention Center, which is where the Anime Expo is being held.

This concert is based on “Miku’s Day Thanksgiving” or “39’s Giving Day,” the first Hatsune Miku performance held in Japan on March 9, 2010.  This year’s Hatsune Miku concert in LA is officially being called “Happy …

I was at the event Friday night and Sunday. Organizers had a nice setup for tabletop gaming, which you could enjoy even if you didn’t have a pass to the convention. From what I understand, there was a good selection of Magic cards to buy.

 There were booths of actors all in a row displaying their recent photos and the classic roles they were known for. Near the entrace I was greeted by the original Batmobile then Batman & Robin (Adam West and Burt Ward), which was a flash of the past and awesome to see. I also enjoyed seeing Erin …

I got to see a bunch of cool Superhero art, and the artists behind them. Also, comic books were everywhere, as well as toys, funky hats, and cool robots.

Long Beach Comic Con was back again at the LB Convention Center for another show.  This was the first of two shows they’re planning for this year, with the bigger one scheduled for October.

The show was way smaller compared to the previous ones and I didn’t get my action figure fix.  This show  focused more on vintage comics.  Many of the vendors had old comics for sale.  My friend, Alfonso, enjoyed it the most because he collects old school Batman and Superman comics.  The Guild show was also filming at the convention.

The artist alley was pretty cool and …
