Manchester MCM Comic Con 2014

First of; this took a lot longer than planned to do this post. I attended Manchester comic con for the third time this year and I was glad I went again. The queuing system was much better and they let us in earlier than the first year just to wait inside - but it got us out the rain for weekend/day early entry ticket holders. They even chucked freebies which I managed to obtain a pair of green sunglasses!

 Adventure Time, Fionna

Final Fantasy, Rikku

 I must admit the first day I really didn't enjoy that much, the day dragged and my Joker outfit had a malfunction which resulted to horrible feelings and also like many others I only got a few hours sleep (mainly to being ill and the thunder storm) The wig wouldn't stay down and my makeup wouldn't stay on. However my friend's outfits were amazing,(Helena and Fionna are the main buddies for the day I hung out with). Most the day was also spent in the cafe just sitting on the chairs before we could go outside as the rain wasn't so bad.

I finally met Chello-Chan who I adore, her cosplay was amazing! *Insert fangirling*. I then came across my favourite Scorpion cosplayer and we had a nice chat in the rain! We did end up leaving slightly early on Saturday (me and my brother) so could rest at home, but it was so I could be prepared the next day (my brother decided not to go on the Sunday with me.)

Day two was much better, I had enough sleep and everything was going to plan. It was a weird feeling though going to a convention on a Sunday, maybe it was because I was so used to mcm being just on a Saturday or because I've only been conventions where they last one day. Regardless, Saturday had felt the same as it was usually every year very hot as I have stressed before! I went just a hour before the convention and was allowed to go straight in with my wristband on and wait, which was alot more fun and I didn't mind cause I was in a cheery mood from going straight in. I went in casual clothing this time as I needed a break - once again friends looked amazing.

The weather was much better on the Sunday and I met some amazing cosplayers.We only went to the theatre once this year - as previously it was always in the same hall but this time it was a bit away and that was to see Vic Mignogna's (Voice actor; Dragon ball Z, Ouran Highschool Host Club, Fullmetal Alchemist) talk, which had hilarious moments 'were you surprised...' (inside joke) but also at one point he did a really heartfelt speech about doing what you enjoy and I really welled up hearing it, he is an amazing guy and if you ever get the chance to go to one of his talks. Do it. Even if people don't know who he is, he is genuinely a awesome, sweet, friendly guy.

I also met Vic Mignogna for the second time, which I got a photoshoot with him and a autograph - which sadly when I got it I was so tired I forgot to ask for a hug! Don't even know how that's possible but I somehow managed it, oh well I'm sure he'll visit again soon and I'll be there to see him all over again. The only down side is the photo-shoot prices are already steep (£20) and the fact mcm was charging for autographs - £10 (which usually was free for something bringing to them) was a little sad. Which explained the lack of queues for once at MCM. In the past they would go all around the hall, Saturday I can't judge on as never went to this room but on Sunday it wasn't a huge queue as used to be. Which means MCM may need to look at what they do for next year.

Ariel, Vic and me

 Merch I got

I must stay I think I will be attending this again if I had the time and no problems.The only thing that concerns me is, would it be so fun still even when it's very hot as the crowds were still evident. I do advise people to get weekend/early entry day tickets because me and the others who did always met up within a few minutes.

Oh look it's me!

And finally here's a video I made of the two day event- all handheld because problems with a flycam I had and the rain. Look out for yourselves in it!
