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:
I write a small blog about my Zombie collection and memorabilia. I thought it would be fun to document and share my collection with fellow collectors, people with the same interests and people who are most likely bored. I write short, pretty broad reviews and have fun doing it. If you like my blog, you can follow it on Twitter, too. www.twitter.com/strollingunwell
