Armageddon Expo - Melbourne 2013 - Cosplays @ Saturday, October 26, 2013 Armageddon Expo - Part 3 - Cosplays 
Cyanide and Happiness
Paper mache heads. Popped a yoga ball?
Unknown - Assassin's Creed?
Unknown
Unknown - Not an Interpretation of Jhudora (Neopets)
I wonder if she's wearing sunscreen between her...
That's an amazing jacket! This girl designed and made it herself.
Unknown - Doctor Who & Katara - Pikachu Interpreted
Unknown
For some bizarre reason I remember guy on the left was at comic con last year.
Transform (yes there is a guy in there and it was 30 degrees).
Game of Thrones - Unknown Anime Character? - Nurse Joy (Pokemon)
Best female joker I've seen. How do you keep the make-up not melting?
Batman Villains. That Harlequin dress is amazing.
Corpse Bride. Inside the coffin handbag is ciggys. Fitting isn't it? :P
Mr Squiggle? - Unknown - Laxtex Scary Snow White Guy
His ... are balloons. Yes I asked. XD Why do black dolls look scary?
Ariel & Belle. Ariel is the Rapunzel, she does lots of Disney Princesses.
She uses hoops under the dress to make it big. 
Jack Frost! I have yet to see 'Rise of the Guardians' but it's on the list.
Knights. That guy is really tall!
Enjoras - Les Miserables
The only les mis cosplay I saw. Very inspired to make my own brooch now. :P
Love this 50s version of Wonder Woman.
Aurora in the forest! Never seen this before (probs cause it's grey and boring)
but this one was amazing, unlike the bit where I forgot and shot into the light
- NEVER shoot into the direction of the light!
A woman in the woman's suffrage association. Mr Selfridge?
Pixie & Pirate. Love the flowers!
This is the Queen of Hearts I saw last year. This year it's a guy. :P
And he didn't have Alice and the White Queen with him. Sad.
Looks like people are over Wonderland (Burton, not the new OUAT version).
The one and only Flynn Rider. His Rapunzel is Ariel.
Unknown & Robin
This guy is not only taller than me, he's a lot younger too!
I met him later on and he was really nice, said voice actors are nicer than film.
As they're not super recognizable and still have to audition and work for the job.
Sorting Hat? Someone said no. Was it really worth wearing a not-hot-weather-friendly
outfit? If I was dressing up I'd have a winter and summer outfit.
Adventure Time & Lord of the Rings
LOTR girl was on stilts! Like flat wedges up very high up.
How do you walk in those? Don't learn forwards. ;)
It seems like Star Wars is always one of those cosplays you'll see.
Why is the guy on the far left different? Playing Star Wars is risky.
If someone has the same outfit as you you'd better be the best one
in the game of 'Who wore it better?'
Captain America - Unknown - Unknown
Transformer. It's amazing that people wear outfits that they
can't go to the bathroom in or eat. I couldn't do it.
Family Cosplay! Deadpool says Fernando.
Megan (Hercules) was the first cosplay picture I took.
Some people did their hair and make-up at the place.
That's a great idea in the hope that your face doesn't melt.
It was a 30 degrees day. Inside it was hot and smelly (I swear a group of guys broke in on Saturday night and peed everywhere around the middle of the building (no where near the bathroom). Outside it was very sunny and windy. And yet people dressed up, from creepy cat bikinis (I didn't see it, but heard about it) to Transformers and Iron Man (costumes you can't sit/eat in). Some people has their foam-ish costumes melt a little. But still it was amazing everyone dressed up! There was two Korras, the amazing one from last year and one that wasn't as good. Gosh that must have been embarrassing to be her.
Did you go to Armageddon? What's your favourite cosplay?
Armageddon Expo - Melbourne 2013 - Part 2 @ Friday, October 25, 2013 Armageddon Expo - Part 2  
This hedgehog is awesome!
I do like plushies, some people collect teddy bears, I collect bunnies.
Pokemon & Studio Ghibli
Guy with the pink bandanna (staff) bought the pink tentacle.
It curls and bends as it has wire in it. Grey circle at the end,
Unicorn & Cupcakes girl thought it was velco while I think it umm... buzzes? XD
I see Woody & Buzz (Toy Story), Adventure Time, Totoro (Studio Ghibli)
Hello Kitty, Walnut (Plants vs Zombies), Angry Birds, Yoshi (Mario)
Clockwork Butterfly - Silver Earrings
Madness & Tea - Jack & Jill Event
We quite liked these, but couldn't decide which to get.
Adrian would have liked one, HCI perhaps?
  
I like looking at these, though it's not my style, suits long necks.
If I was getting one I'd like a red one, 2nd picture on the right.
 
Dr Susses Headband! Not my style, but I did buy this for someone. ;)
liked this pendent, but I didn't get it as I know she prefers a more emerald green.
Pictures (Standard Size) $5
I like the Pikachu one but there's something off about it...
Outside there were rides out the west exit along with yucky soggy churros.
Out front marques with food, only recognized Cajun Kitchen on Liz. St.
The other sources of food were from two overpriced cafes/cafeteria.
The 'Taiwan Pop Chicken' aka Popcorn Chicken was very popular.
Panels, this one was with Matt Melvin, one of the four authors
of the online comic Cyanide & Happiness. He'll draw you for $20.
I met Luna Lovegood. She had the longest line for autographs. They're $40.
She didn't say anything, but one of the girls said she sounds exactly like in the films.
Staff get either an autograph or picture with someone, last year it was both.
As I love OUAT I had a hard time choosing between Luna & Geoppeto.
We didn't see many people in HP costumes, I feel as though perhaps it's dying a little.
Unlike Star Wars which is one of those cosplays you'll always see.
I regret not getting a HP costume when they were popular.
Most likely to be in Slytherin or Ravenclaw.
I met Janet Varney, she was lovely, she does the voice for Korra (Legend of Korra).
It's funny how I don't notice accents on tv unless they're like on the Simpsons.
Also met Gregg Berger (Odie, Garfield on Cartoon Network) who was funny and did all the voices of the characters he plays, including Odie (who doesn't talk, he just makes doggy noises). I also met Kari Wahlgren (Tigress in “Kung Fu Panda") and Saya and Diva in Blood+ (Dub), she was really nice too. I love Blood+ the sub version, and haven't seen the dub, sometimes animes dubbed aren't as good. Not the case with Fruits Basket though.
Voice actor autographs on postcard/standard photo size were free, bigger pictures were $10 as were the posters on the wall like the one pictured. Fiona does face painting for $5. Later on I saw her (not green) and didn't recognize her. :P
There was a girl who went to the expo after work (she works at a donut shop) and offered staff & the talent donuts! I love it when people do that. :) I got a chocolate guy with a lost leg, the last time I had an iced donut would have been with my 2nd bf and that was more than 5yrs ago.
Though this is post 2/4 I shall have the conclusion-ish here. So far I haven't actually said what we actually did at the expo. :P We were on the door 12-3pm, though as most people had came through before then we did tickets/wristbands at the Showgrounds Station, train came every 40mins. And that was about all we did. Though the Saturday team had many no-shows so everyone worked the whole day.
On the way to the city I met Micheal, a photographer and vegan. What vegans eat other than veggies and nuts is still a topic of curiosity to me. What about cake? We were abnormally social on Sunday, met new people, sat with them too (I'm a little bit shy sometimes). Everyone was nice except the token manager, he was mean.
Pre-Dinner Snack. I've always wanted to try dim sims.
Nice but it was too intense the flavours, too much sauce within.
Nevertheless we shall be back to try them steamed to get a full review.
I really like their potato cakes though, and they used new oil when I was there.
Sometimes there's a guy (it's always a guy) a busker at the station.
As always we request 'Cannon in D' a wedding classic.
Did you go to the Armageddon Expo?
Are you into comics and cosplaying?
Do you have a repertoire you tend to stick to?
