Heyo! Went to the Ottawa Comiccon as mentioned on Tumblr while more or less enjoying my time there after a “rough” start. Went to the EY Center next to the Ottawa Airport for this event. I enjoyed viewing the display areas the place had to offer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Patiently waiting in line gradually becoming impatient. Was just about to leave for some plane spotting nearby.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wanted to finally go to Comiccon in Ottawa after passing a few that were being held locally a few times. Had to miss them a few times because the wallet was weeping loudly. I finally went and enjoyed most of my time there, just not the messy line-ups, misinformation, and the messiness of it all. Basically making a loop around the entrance for no reason at all. Should have had registration at both entrances\u00c2\u00a0 or funnel people in through a tent. That annoyed me greatly and others.<\/p>\n

That aside, everything else was quite enjoyable and fun. Was finally able to dig back into the North American side of things after going to a nice amount of Anime conventions. A nice change of pace. Spotted some nice old Power Rangers figures, Star Trek stuff, Minecraft stuff, and some nostalgic triggers here and there. Quite a few temptations. Luckily easy to ignore such temptations.<\/p>\n

I’m going to have to agree with what I over-heard – That this Comiccon should have had more display areas with less shops. Needs more fun displays like the Star Wars, Dr Who, and Back To The Future displays.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Can’t deny that people are having genuine fun at this place and other conventions. Love that vibe!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Imperial Service Droids (And R2) being all flirtatious. All happy going up to every person. One thing to see it in a movie, another to see them in person.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Mouse Droid! I’m always amused by these little ones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– Can’t go wrong with Doctor Who fun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– My favourite Doctors in view. Companions not so much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– I just had to also see these evil bastards in person. Again, everything is better in person.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– Pardon the blurry but one of my favourite version of the Daleks during that WW2 episode.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– Disliking how blurry the images are of the Daleks. Quite nice seeing that white and blue version.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Was highly amused by this dancing Stormtrooper dancing around with music blasting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– “These aren’t the droids you are looking for.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Was tough getting an image with this cool trooper with all the people.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– Thanks for complimenting my 501st shirt. An awesome scout trooper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– I found me a beautiful Ahri!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Male RWBY Red version. Fancy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– A rogue Sith Zabraak claiming his cell as is own stating none shall sit on his precious cell-block chair. Amused.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Gorgeous female bounty hunters. Always need more of them for their coolness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Captain Canada!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– Now this makes me miss the 3D version of Voltron.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Someone sure is afraid of Vader! XD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Spiderman! That’s some awesome detailing as well. Damn!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– She was riding on R2-D2 from the vendor side heading towards the Star Wars display. R2 wasn’t amused in the slightest. I obviously laughed at this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– All the Star Wars characters gathering up for a group shot for the main winner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– It’s a trap! (Look to the left) And I’m amazed that I actually managed to get a nice shot of one of Hutt’s minions for the Rancor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– From a show I used to watch and enjoy greatly. All the nostalgia!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
– Awesome family and great cosplay.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s been a fun con when avoiding all the line-ups and evading all the people that would have bumped into you by mistake. A few unavoidable bumps into people was inevitable. I obtained two Minecraft goodies of an Enderman figure and a Pig keychain from those random packages. I shall be having more fun with them later. I actually quite liked this convention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
– Renge helping to show off the Minecraft loot. Choose the Enderman out of them all because of how neat they actually are. May get Creeper next later.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m quite big into Minecraft so I just had to purchase these goodies, even if my wallet is crying horribly loudly. I love playing the game a lot while rebuilding what I once lost. If you want to see more images of these Minecraft figures in the future then feel free to bookmark this blog, this Flickr<\/a>, and even my YouTube<\/a> for future videos for past and future event videos.\u00c2\u00a0 I now want to play around with this Enderman outdoors while also having fun with my other fox girl named Varakitsu among Ottawa’s nature.<\/p>\n

And if curious, I was wearing a generic Levi’s 501st grey shirt with a black circle on front. It seemed appropriate for the convention and to receive a nice comment with “nice shirt” from a scout trooper. Too bad I couldn’t hold Vara on my arms, and glad I didn’t with the amount of people at the convention and the bus. Would have loved to do such, though would have been overly troublesome if I actually did. Maybe next time and for the next conventions.<\/p>\n

Thanks for viewing and hope you enjoyed viewing my images. I had fun while finding it a worth the light venting on my end.<\/p>\n
