Here's s h i r o, reporting the aftermath of the recent ACG event, TEH COMIS FIESTA 09~
Well, for cosplay pictures, I suggest you guys find other blogs wif better photos, our cameras kinda sucked, so the pics aren't very nice.
Here's a photo of our (not so grand) start of MoMo at the booth.
Not much stuff were made, due to time constraint and lack of helping hands, but we did have fun at the event. It seems that I may need to focus more on prints next time, everything was sold out! And I had to reprint for the second day, which are sold out as well! LOLz, same with the stickers and A4 marker prints. Neko Hats got some competition but on the second day, I manage to sell it all out. However the letdown was the notebooks, luckily I didn't make a lot of them and the cost were covered by the art commissions, phew.
I'm quite surprised that we seem to have a l0t of hidden Kamen Rider fans/tards. The moment they saw the chibi cards, all those pent up Kamen Rider spirit just burst out including myself as well, LOLz.
The only thing I notice that, almost 80% of the stuff sold during the event were all Hetalia stuff and stuff that are targeted for the female fans, and I'm not much of a Hetalia fan unfortunately, same as the other otakus. It was kinda saddening that there's not much variety of products that appeals for both female and male fans like it used to be years back like Soul Eater, D-Gray Man, Haruhi etc. From prints to pinbadges, too much Hetalia stuff, I pity the non fans.
Other than that, cosplays are not as awesome as last year, but we do have an almost complete set of Dissidia characters. I didn't cosplay Kamen Rider Decade, coz at the last minute, even though the costume is finished, I decided not to cosplay coz one; the color is WAY OFF~ it was supposed to be pink but it look like orange-ish red, two; the helmet eyes came off and I couldn't put it back on coz out of tape and glue, and three; I was lazy.
Overall, not much upgrades for the event, but I do like the stage location were we are not blocked by a sponsor's gigantic booth. But all fun, lotsa people which is good for business and lotsa space to let yer inner crazy person out.
Now, to wait for next year!
For now, MoMo will try to attend any nearest 2010 events.
