London Film Comicon at Earls Court

[Caswellbot]

Hey Guys, had a nice day out yesterday at the London Film Comicon at Earls court yesterday. Despite queuing for about an hour to get in and there not being as much vintage as I would have liked (theres never enough!) We still had a good day.

I didnt stay for too long, maybe 2 and a half hours but managed to get round to see everything. One of the biggest problems was that it was manic in there. Almost too busy I thought. Darren from Starzone had a great stall as did Leicester Vintage and a few other had some nice bits.

Highlight of my day was seeing Stu (Burnsy) in his Fett suit. He really did look the nuts and I heard loads of people commenting on his outfit. 8)

Here is about the only pic that I got from the day of me and my two er (little) brothers Toby and Ollie with Stu. Just need my older brother to turn up for a full Caswell family outing! 8)

Awesome pic Chris. Will have to get down to that thing next time. I always seem to have something on when it comes around. :roll:

Thanks Pete. Yeah hopefully next time. It would have been good to see more forum guys down there. Not many toys though. I thnk most peeps would have been diappointed.

Great to see you Saturday and was fun plucking you from the queue.

I've been to a few of these and this was the busiest we have ever seen a convention. Apparently there were around 40,000 people
through the doors yesterday. The queue was bloody massive but it was great fun walking along having a bit of banter with the punters.

It was just too crowded inside and not good when in costume.

Just a shame I didn't have much of cance to have a browse and see some of the guests.

Who's the character in red and black next to Vader in the second photo?

 

[PGowdy]

Looks like an original series Action Force character to me.

 

[burnsy]

He's from 'V' the old TV series

 

[ODB]

He's a V trooper isn't it?

I went yesterday too, the crowds were maniac. Starzone had his usual brilliant stuff and the other regulars had some good stuff, it was the most vintage I've seen for a while.

Is the guy that plays vader a bit short as the costume seemed to have a really fat neck, so I'm assuming that he's lifted up the helmet to give it extra height.

 

[burnsy]

The guy in the photo's above is over 6ft tall, there was another Vader walking about who looked terrible.

 

[PGowdy]

Aah.

I was thinking of these guys (outer left and right). Similar but not the same.

[silver grin]

He's from 'V' the old TV series

That's why I didn't have a clue who he was then!

Great pics Jason. That Dr. Who costume is fantastic! :lol:

Pete, I do worry about you. All the stuff with the Ewoks is bad enough but of all of the pictures of fit (ish) birds, you pick the bloke out !!

 

[PGowdy]

:lol: :lol:
His costume reminds me of the insane costume party we had at my work earlier in the year. One guy was dressed as the Mona Lisa another guy as a giant Lego Man (his was incredible) and another costume was Marty McFly, The Doc and The Back to the Future car... all as one costume. :lol: I kept it simple and went as Adam Ant.
