Last week, November 5-6 at the Los Angeles Convention Center here in Downtown, COMIKAZE held its first official con event. Not bad for its first time out.
The SDCC had to go through its growing pains and baby steps to reach the point it is at right now and COMIKAZE seems to be ahead of the game a the same starting point. I figure that this event will be an LA staple within the next 4 years. 40, 000 people attended the event over the 2-day span.
Impressive...most impressive. (couldn't resist that one) lol
Althought the 501st Legion did not 'officially' participate (i.e. A booth and the usual 50 plus troopers), there were a few representatives from the Southern California Garrison.
I represented the SCG with my Sandtrooper gear and was accompanied by another squad member. I've never posed for so many pictures in my life! Aak! =)
Anyway, after 5 hours of trooping, I got out of my armor and went back in into the event in plain clothes and was FINALLY able to tour the con without interruption. A lot of cool things to see, from toys, collectibles to the awesome cosplayers!
I will definitely go again next year. This time with 'Vader's Fist'!
Enjoy the pics!
