THE WONDERCON 2018 COUNTDOWN CONTINUES!!!

We're back!  And Shipwreck welcomes you to Week 2 of our WonderCon 2018 Countdown!  I don't know about you, but I could sure use some Cosplay awesome right now, so let's dive on in!

Today, we set the Wayback Machine to 2013, so strap in and hold on tight!  Enjoy...

I honestly don't understand why so many people find clowns to be terrifying.  This jolly old soul looks like a load of laughs!

If this guy and his toy monkey had been cast as the leads, Oz The Great And Powerful probably would've been a lot more enjoyable!

WonderCon 2013 was the year of Adventure Time!  Everywhere I looked, it was million Finns and Fionas!  Not a bad show to spread word of.  What was the second most popular cosplay of the con?...

My Little Pony!  Although Doctor Who fans certainly made their presence felt too!  I give credit where credit is due.  I never in a million years would've thought this pony thing would get so big.  The craze seems to be dying off now, but in 2013, AT and MLP were everywhere!

WonderCon that year fell on Easter Sunday, so it was only natural that the main man himself would stop by for an appearance!  And yes, I always felt guilty for being at a con on a holy day!

I guess it's time to confess that in the past, I had a run in with Cookie Monster and things turned ugly fast.  You just don't touch a man's Double Stuff Oreos and NOT expect him to react!  Cookie came by looking for more trouble and, well...  I had to handle things.  Again!  "C" is for cookie, yes, but "A" is for ass whoopin'!  Stay away from my Oreos, Muppet!

Rainbow Brite showed up to plug her new book that she was releasing that year, Toy Box Confessional!  Gotta say, didn't realize how seedy The Pits really were!

Somebody may wanna call Arkham and see if some cells are empty.

Nice to see these three getting along!

These two were on a mission from God!

Some people wear their love on their sleeve...  LITERALLY!!!

Wesley and Buttercup!  They were looking for a six-fingered man for a friend of theirs!

Zombie Princesses!  When you're this close to Disneyland, you're bound to see a few of them, albeit usually more lively!

And we'll end things today with the Secret Of The Ooze Shredder!  Love the detail he put into the helmet!

And that was WonderCon 2013!  A very fun show that saw decent sales and a bunch of pals come by, so I actually had a chance to go walk around for a bit!  It's funny how much of a blur it all is now.  Doesn't feel like it was five years ago.

And that's it for today.  We'll be back next week with a look back at WonderCon 2014 and some info on where to find me at WonderCon 2018, since it is next week!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
