Janie was there but just a normal punter like me I think.
What a coincidence. Are you sure it wasn't her?  |

Maybe it was a very good disguise.  Daphne was there too. |

I remarked to her that it was a shame she never got to smile for the cameras (a "Weeping Angel" from Doctor Who). |

Remember Magic Monkey from Water Margin, (a dubbed Japanese historical adventure from the 70s).

This guy looks like he's just really badly made, but that's exactly how the character looks. He's from a video game & is meant to look like a child's drawing. The poor chap inside him can't use his hands in the costume. He was having a breather, with his "head" off when I asked for a photo, so his girlfriend had to remove his glasses & put his head back on. They insist on being complete & in character to have their photos taken. |

The work that had gone into some of the costumes was amazing. Nope, no idea who she was.

I know this guy, but don't know how I know! (Loony's into this kind of stuff & I used to pick up snippets of info from him when I was renting space in his workshop, so might be from there). He's The Ghost in the Machine. Can't remember his name, or whether it's a film or a comic book, but the idea is he's a spirit who can move around in the real World by being inside an airtight mechanical suit. The 2 women are his Government minders. If it's a film this might be the real costume cos it looked too good for Cosplay. The character also swears constantly. I thanked him for letting me take the photo & was met with F*ck you! -which I hope was him in character |

My grand-daughter is really into comic con and been to a couple in Bournemouth - she' really into anime and she went as characters I'd never heard of but we did have fun making part of her costume together. She believes in making it yourself not hiring it, she's a great believer in keeping it real.

A lot of them went home on the Docklands light railway in costume. When I was on the Jubilee Line, heading back to Waterloo, I spotted a woman in normal clothes but with pointy Pixie ears -nobody took any notice of her at all. Maybe she was nothing to do with Comic Con 26th - 28th of October next year. |

andy the guy above i think is from hell boy the golden army, Johann Krauss. he came out of the suit as a whisp of smoke.
red guy is deadpool, guy with white hair and two swords is geralt from computer game the witcher, a couple of dr whos, a nice wednesday from adams family and a mad hatter from tim burttons alice in wonderland and an edward scissorhands.
monkey magic was great "pigsyyyy" ha ha ha.
would have liked to have gone. maybe next year
