Title: London Film & Comic Con (Winter) 5th - 6th October 2013
Post by: COMMANDO FORCES on 21 September, 2013, 01:51:34 AM
Just giving a heads up on this event in a few weeks time. The official website is HERE! (http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/winter/)

As is the norm with these events, you can see some of the stars from your favourite sci-fi films and programs.

For all you Judge fans out there, on the Saturday only Planet Replicas will have Judge Anderson out on patrol, with a few male Judges. So why not pop along and grab a photo :D

I'm not going (too 'spensive) but my Brian Blessed Dreddhead is going in card form for the man himself to sign :O

Looks like I'll be at this one! I may have some copies of Dept of Monsterology and some prints and I'll be sketching. Not officially listed yet, but hoping I have a table(!)

Heading off to london tomorrow evening, and despite not starting a commission list, I appear to have a commission list - but it's empty now! happy to take a couple more - advance price is £30 - they may cost more on the day, but if you ask now it's £30...

That was me getting rid of the force that somehow made me go round detaining all the other characters at the cons.

Yesterday was a great laugh but still the changing facilities need to be sorted out. They wouldn't let us all in the room that we used last year, so I changed into the Judge in a stairwell while people walked by and back into my civvies in a disabled toilet, just before the event closed. Gotta admit, this bit ain't fun!

Here are a few of the pics that Steve Green took from inside the convention hall.

A scene from a certain story that we all like!

They didn't open up the rear hall, like the year of Dredd but that didn't stop the enjoyment. Even now I'm seeing pics of characters that I didn't see on the day, one of the problems of being constantly stopped for pics.

By the way, it was very humid :lol:

Olympia is a better venue than EC2, but they really need to sort out some space for cosplayers to get get changed/store stuff.

The room that was available last year wasn't this (though still unoccupied)

Available charging points for phones etc wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Still miles better than MCM expo at the Excel though, there's no room to move inside the venue itself there, and the queuing is terrible.

Bleeding Cool has some picture from occasion passing by here ex-Droid Steve Cook.

Rather than Where's Wally, the game here is Where's Burdis (assuming he was the only male Judge present?)... its not that hard really but you know...

We saw only one other male Judge in a comic costume on the Saturday.

We'd pretty much had enough for one day, doing Eurogamer last weekend - I nipped in today to pick up a couple of commissions, but didn't hang around.
