MCM Expo - 22/05/2015 - Zombie Buys

This year I went to MCM on the Friday as they now do it as a whole day, it was really fun and very enjoyable. There were quite a few people, but it was not ridiculously packed like it is in the weekend, so if you can go on the Friday I highly recommend it.

The first zombie buy I found was a beautiful hand made charm bracelet by BunnyBeadsUK (she's on Etsy by that name). The charm bracelet is Walking Dead themed. I love the shovel charm, I think this is what sold me as I think the blood on it is a great touch.

This amazing Walking Dead bag!

Then, I went over to Comic Village and got talking to an independent writer. He had a range of books and comics but he told me about his zombie one called Teal and for £3 I couldn't say no. The lovely man even gave me a free zombie book mark of a character in his comic. You can find this comic and others at www.geekycomics.com 

Finally, also in Comic Village I found two guys who had compiled a load of zombie stories in one Anthology called Dead Roots, written and drawn by them. They also signed it for me, too. 

MCM Expo - 26/10/2014 - Zombie Haul

This was the convention that I had been looking forward to the most. It's absolutely huge and considering it is only at the Excel in London, it's about a 20 minute drive from my house, so that's what we do. Driving there is so much better than public transport, parking is dear, but it's about the price of two train fares there so, I'd rather drive.

Funny story about this convention, we bought priority tickets for the Saturday, but there was still a massive queue, so we ended up walking through the car park and right round the back, down these corridors and managed to sneak ourselves in. We ended up walking behind this stage and there were guards with walkie talkies but we just walked like we knew where we were going and they didn't even question us. So woo, we avoided queues. Bit naughty, but worth it.

So we walked in and it was much bigger than May this year. There were two full halls of merchandise and celebrities and so much to look at. It was so amazing, as were the cosplays that people turned up in. I just love the atmosphere there.

So, overall, I got quite a few zombie things to add to my collection.

I got:
Funko Pop! Walking Dead - Merle Dixon
Funko Pop! Walking Dead - Tyreese
Funko Pop! Walking Dead - Prison Glenn
Funko Pop! Walking Dead - Well Walker
Funko Pop! Walking Dead - Teddy Bear Girl

DEAD ALL OVER Zombie Chewbacca print

The Walking Dead canvas print - yes, another, but this one is cool, they have the comic characters, bicycle girl and then all the actors and actresses that portray the comic characters. Really cool stuff.

Also got a couple things that were not zombie related.

It got really, really packed. This kind of ruined it, because one, there was no space to move, let alone look at stuff, and two, all your stuff could have got squashed because there were so many people.

If you like the zombie Chewbacca print you can get one from http://www.deadallover.co.uk it's really cool, the artist limits his prints so there aren't many of them in circulation. Zombie Chewbacca is limited to 30 prints. There are many other great characters turned into zombies in his prints.

Anyway, here are my zombie buys for the day:
