MCM Birmingham - Help😖😖

Hey guys!! I’m (F15) Low-key a noob at Reddit (and cons you’ll find out) so please forgive me-

So I’m going to this Con on a Saturday dressed as Dutch Van Der Linde from red dead redemption with some of my family, but it’s my first con and I don’t really know what to and not expect from it

I have literally no cosplay friends except for 2 Mutuals going, so I don’t really know any of the rules or anything, so if anyone has any tips PLEASE tell me!! 😇😇

Also, is it weird to ask ppl for pictures if I like their cosplay? I’ve seen ppl do it but I’m js scared it’ll be weird if it’s me (awkward teen girl speaking)

THANKSSSS!!

Who goes to the 2024 Tokyo Comic-Con! Or anyone with experience?

Hello! I will be attending Tokyo Comic-Con, which will be held from 6 December! I'm thinking about cosplay and illustrations that celebrities would love to see and have signed! I'd be happy to get opinions from both attendees and non-attendees!

Who is a celeb you’ve seen be announced by a con who ends up repeatedly canceling their appearance?

We all know celebs have the right to cancel going to a con if a family emergency happens, they get sick, have a project that interferes with their appearance and any other reasons but I'm curious to hear from people who is one celeb that you see gets announced nearly every year at a con near you and then they cancel?

For a friend of mine I asked this and he said this year was the second time Sam Raimi had to cancel going to the con in his state.

So I was thinking

I want to do a gender swapped Vi and Jinx cosplay, I’m working out and getting in shape for Vi but I don’t have a jinx. Would anyone want to accompany me and dress as a male jinx for comic con next year? I’m in Grand Rapids and I’d probably be going to the Detroit comic con. HMU if interested.

New Date, New Line

Can we get our spot back, though? I was minutes away from being able to purchase tickets, I really don't want to experience not getting any after being so close! Especially since this coming Con would be my first

Press Pass Application Error

Has anyone applied for press pass for San Diego Comic Con. I fill out my application and when I hit “add to cart” I get an error stating “This product requires membership access that is currently unavailable on your account”.

I am returning applicant. I didn’t attend this year but I did last year as press. Has anyone else run in to this problem. I have contacted Comic Con Press 2 weeks ago and still haven’t heard anything back.

How do you all manage to make friends on cons?

Since last Comic-Con I like to go alone, but I don’t really wait in lines for anything and I mostly walk by the vendors to buy stuff and take pictures with people because I cosplay.

How do you stay in contact with the people you come across? Usually it’s just a short hello and complement, but I’ve had rare moments with full conversations, but never exchanging contacts after or anything like that

Planet ComicCon KC Fast Pass Crazy? Any suggestions for physical accommodations?

So my friends and I usually get fast passes as our one big hang out a year to enjoy comic-con. This year the prices seemed like they jumped up high to $350 for the pass and then sold out in less than a few hours after tickets went on sale. Guests aren't even announced yet and I just wonder if the fast pass is even starting to be worth it at that point. I usually get it because I have a physical disability and it is much nicer to wait in short lines etc. and Bartle Hall doesn't always have the best accommodations. Usually don't try to bring my crutches because people are not always the most aware and it makes navigating a nightmare. Anyone have any suggestions about getting around Bartle easier? The new 'Fast Pass Lounge' would have been a great thing to make for ADA guests but guess that doesn't bring in the money?

Also first time posting on Reddit! WHAT UP?!

Odd request! Did anyone go to London MCM Comic Con last October? Looking for the stall/seller who sold Shera and Catra sword stickers.

Been looking through videos of walking through the whole event, but struggling to find the seller. Please help if you can!

Hayden Christensen at upcoming SF Leap event

Heyyy I just bought general admission tickets for Saturday at San Francisco and I’m planning to purchase a photo ops and standard signature for HC but I also have so many questions and I hope these aren’t stupid 😭

  1. Do Photos come first and then autographs? If so, how much time is between them usually

  2. If I purchase a photo ops, will I get a 8x10 print there that I can use to sign later or does that only come with adding additional prints?

  3. How long is the event overall? I have to fly there and I don’t plan on staying the night, and I don’t know how late I should be booking the flight back

  4. Is there a bag check for the event/things you can’t bring? What kind of bags are allowed and where do you leave your bags for photo ops?

  5. If I purchase an autograph, what kind of gifts am I allowed to bring for the guest/any at all?

These are all specific questions and I understand if there’s no specific answer but I’d appreciate any general idea you guys have, thanks!

Scammed at Comic con Holland 2024? Ace Attorney manga artist Kazue Maekawa missing commission.

October 12th of this year me and my partner went to Comic Con Holland. We were excited to hear that the manga artist for Ace Attorney (Kazue Maekawa) was present and was selling signed drawings. We hoped to buy one there physically, but sadly they ran out of stock. The person / translator behind the stand said we could get one sent to our house when it’s done. As excited as we were, we did that. We had to pay €80 for a commission of two characters + shipping. Now fast forward and we are in November, with the commission nowhere to be seen. We haven’t heard anything from the stand, even though we left behind all the contact info and address. We don’t have any contact info from the stand. We are worried we have been scammed and don’t know what to do. We already emailed Comic Con Holland but haven’t received a reply.

Does anyone else have the same experience or tips for us on what to do?

Thanks in advance.

*Edit: Scam is a big word. We know it's not intentional at least. It’s more so that we are worried considering the artist (from Japan) was now in the Netherlands and was also gonna make and ship it from his residence here according to the translator. And we are uncertain for how long he is here. There’s also the fear that the stand lost the paper we wrote our info on 😭 could easily happen in all the chaos. But we'll try to be patient and have faith!
