ONE!!! ONE WEEK TO GO!!! Okay, okay, I gotta calm down, I'm getting too excited here! But can you blame me? The greatest week of the year is literally seven days away! How can I not be excited about it?!? I think the best option is to just get straight to the pics, agreed?
We've woken up in the year 2019 and somehow have already found our way to Downtown San Diego! Hold on to you Code Red Mountain Dews CRAZIES, because the CRAZY Comic Con Countdown is on! Enjoy...
What happens the Akatsuki squares off with Stormtroopers? I don't know, but my money's on the Sexy Bounty Hunter!
Thursday morning and the SDPD are getting their pep talk and moving into their hiding spots. In addition to patrolling the streets and exhibit hall, the cops are well-hidden throughout the nooks and crannies of Downtown San Diego, making sure the city's well guarded on its grandest stage.
My nephew Dante Jr. and I hamming it up at the Petco Park Interactive Zone with the giant animatronic megalodon shark promoting the coming of Shark Week on the Discovery Channel! This thing was pretty crazy. It ate quite a few things during week, including a jet ski!
The Gundam franchise had a big anniversary in 2019! In addition to a huge activation at the Petco Park Interactive Zone, they also had a huge booth inside the exhibit hall and another display at the Marriott Marquis! And it that weren't enough, they even had a flatbed driving around Downtown with a life-size Gundam mech lying in the back!
The double decker Karaoke Bus from the SyFy Fandom Crew! Can't say enough how much I miss these guys strolling around the Gaslamp. In addition to busses and ground crews, they also had trolleys and peddle bars. They really created a great atmosphere for all.
The Jean Luc Picard Pop-Up Museum! Promoting the upcoming Picard series, this offsite was small, but fun and gave away some really cool pins of the Picard family coat of arms!
Working some Dance Magic out side of the Convention Center!
Pickle Rick parties on with the Meeseeks at the Adult Swim Cosplay Contest! It was a hilarious outing, the highlight of which had the crowd repeatedly chanting "Camel Toe" at the Meeseeks! The fun ain't always PG-rated folks!
No trip to SDCC would be complete without a stop at the FX Zone! 2019 was definitely one of their more intense offerings as I saw many people run out the American Horror Story activation screaming! Clearly whatever it was they were doing in there worked!
Amazon Prime did not disappoint with what has so far turned out to be their final offsite! A multilevel LED Wall structure that took nearly a month to build and featured further activations on the ground for shows like The Boys and Carnival Row, every square inch of this offsite cooked! I know part of Amazon's disappearance in recent years has been due to them not investing as heavily into TV production as they did pre-pandemic, but a part of me feels that maybe they looked at this setup and said to themselves "How do we top this? It's impossible?" It never hurts to try at least!
I don't know how I missed this crossover between The Golden Girls and Gundam, but I really wanna see it now!
Me and my nephew again hamming it up in a pool full of stuffed animals! We won entry into Crunchy Roll's exclusive offsite by collecting all of their pins from various booths!
It's time to paint a happy little man!
Finally, we'll end this week with a special moment. Comic book icon Neal Adams began screaming about some A-Holes that were annoying him. Then these guys showed up. Looks like he's surrounded!
And that was Comic Con 2019! One of my all-time favorite shows, I almost saw it all that year! I walked out of that one thinking too myself "Man, how are they gonna top this?" Nothing's come close since, but who knows? Maybe this year will finally top it? Guess we'll find out!
Well, next week is THE week! We'll be kicking things off a little earlier than usual with the new post happening on Monday, giving y'all plenty of time check it out and learn some tips and tricks! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
