London MCM Comic Con

Britain's biggest festival of popular culture, MCM London Comic Con showcases the finest in films, videogames, comics, sci-fi and anime.

This was both Hurr and Durr's first ever Comic Con and whilst the queues were long, the venue was jam packed, and a bit too often there was a unpleasant smell in the air, we both had an amazing time.


Once we got through the queue and inside the main expo, there was a lot to see (if you can manage to navigate through the sea of people).

Here are some of the stalls we saw:

Note the awesome Buster Sword - Hurr is totally going to buy that next time !


But what really made the day for us were the simply stunning cosplayers we saw. There were actually more people in cosplay than not !

 Here are some pictures we took of them.

Wakka - Final Fantasy X
This Wakka cosplay was Hurr's cosplay of the day, so much attention to detail and the guy has pretty much the same face as him !

Leonardo - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Lucy Heartfilia - Fairy Tail

Light Yagami - Death Note

Jacket - Hotline Miami

The Hotline Miami cosplay was Durr's cosplay of the day, being the massive Hotline Miamai fan that he is !

We're not entirely sure what anime this group was from, but they did look amazing!
The sword on the right must have been the biggest we saw all day.

Psychomantis - Metal Gear Solid
This guy was a lot of fun, he even played along with us to take the famous 'puppet' shot.

Vanille - Final Fantasy XIII

The guy on the left looks incredible, unfortunately we're not sure where he is from.

Koanashi - Spirited Away

Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Caribbean

Dude with chainsaw for a hand?

Hunter - Left 4 Dead
We met this cosplayer on the tube and I have to say, no one was happier to have their picture taken than he was ! As a first cosplay we thought it was great, keep it up dude !

Mental Mexican man - Mexico?
(On the other side of the sign he had YOMO - You're Only Mexican Once)

Iron Man

Yuna - Final Fantasy X

Rinoa - Final Fantasy VIII
(Moogle belongs to Hurr)

Borderlands 2 Group

Catherine

Witch - Left 4 Dead

Tifa - Final Fantasy VII

The most detailed painted cosplay we saw there, no idea how she got her face that shape but it looked scary and awesome !

After being around so many cosplayers, Hurr & Durr have decided to go back to MCM in October and cosplay for the first time ever ! It's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication but we think we can pull it off. So watch this space !
