My first expo ^^ - London MCM
Hi all!
So, just got back from my first ever expo - and my first ever public outing with one of my dollfie dream girls!
Went along with a friend of mine, and then met up with some fellow figure.fm comrades, led by CookieDude. The one photo I forgot to even think about at the time was a group photo XD
Felt a bit lonely being the only DD owner I could see there, though I did meet some male Dollfie owners in the expo itself.
Definitely looking forward to a time where I can meet fellow DD parents ^^ October, maybe?
Anyhow, what follows is my... poor attempt at expo photography. Not that I took many in the first place, as I wasn't all to sure what to take photos of >.<
Wasn't sure what to shoot, so I went for overall crowd photos XD
Had to use the flash quite a lot, the lighting in there was pretty rubbish - that, and I've never taken photos in this sort of environment before ^^;
OMG It's Danny Ch- WAIT. IMPOSTERS!!
These guys just turned up next to the guys above, so I thought, meh *snap*
Quite what Walter Bishop (John Noble) is doing here, I've no idea..
I spy a Haruhi Cosplay!
Back to Walter, who's concentrating.. a lot
Saw the cutest pair of Pikachus ^^
Random
Random 2
Master Chief - taking time out to pose for the crowds. Armour's a bit too plastic shiny for my tastes.. but still great construction.
It's the Mystery Van!
Miku scroll. Haven't watched, not collected, anything to do with Vocaloids - but Miku is irresistibly cute in almost everything I HAVE seen ^^
Group were singing songs - not Anime songs tough. Where was Hare Hare Yukai?
Not sure what this is supposed to be... ?
We sat down inside, where I got Sakura out of her bag. Weren't many photo opportunities, being the only DD there and needing to sit down due to lack of an easily transportable stand.
Still, all stuff to remember and improve for next time!
First Nendo and Figma I've actually seen *in person* XD
Very cute ^^
Flash fail
Fellow 350D, lurking in the background!
^^
Thought I should at least buy something from my first expo, so what better than my first Wall Scroll! XD
I had my eye on another scroll, with the Haruhi girls in their beach wear and bikinis, but thought I'd get this one ^^
£15 - not the cheapest, but glad I got it.
So, hope you liked the photos, I know I'm looking forward to the next possible expo, and hopefully with more DD parents than just myself XD
I got the other Haruhi scroll with just Nagato, Mikuru and Haruhi on yesterday, shame I didn't see the Miku Scroll, I got a smaller one, was looking for a larger one but didn't see that one. Glad to see you enjoyed it. ^^
Thanks! :)
I was tempted to get the one with the girls in their bikins / beach ware - but I've always liked this image ^^
If I had the extra cash, I would have grabbed that Miku! haha
Looks like he is cosplaying Bleach character named Hitsugaya Toshiro, captain of 10th division in his bankai form.
Okay, where were you??? Was this Saturday or Sunday, must have been Sunday :/
I was there yesterday with my Mio Twins and Jezatron (not actually on figure.fm). Would have loved to say hi to you and your Sakura!!!
Maybe October ^^
Keep in touch!
It was today (Sunday) yeah - wish I could have met your Mios! :'(
And yes, October!! ^^
i am kicking myself hard for not going .. i envy everyone who went this year ...
You should have come!
Though I imagine it might have been quite the trip for you if you had?
not really i only live 2 hours away from london... i jus didn't have thw funds to go... plus al the hotels were booked
the grass is looking worse for wear... it was greener then that last year
Looks like you had a fun time at your first expo ^^ I've been going every May & October since May 2005(minus last October), so this weekend was my 10th London MCM (although my 11th convention in total).
Said to my girlfriend about wanting this. She said no ^^;
Haha, you should have bought it without her looking and rolled it up secretly! ;)
Shiro-chan :3
its cartman XD
