*SIGHS* Well... Another WonderCon has passed. I'd like to be a little more cheery welcoming y'all to the month of April, which is also my birth month, but how can I be? My vacation is over! Time to get back to the grind! Worst part of it is, I don't even know if it was a good show or not? As of this typing, it's still February! Surely y'all know by now that I type these out WELL in advance? I say so every year even! But then I have to remember people rarely read the fine print, they just want the pics. And since I know I'm probably pretty worn out right now, let's just get right to them. We're jumping back to last year's show in 2025, so hike up those sweatpants because the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown is STILL a go! Nothing is over until WE decide it is! Enjoy...
Wow. His Schwartz is really strong!
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
After taking a year off in 2024, Funko returned to WonderCon with a neat, but underwhelming display that was merely a shrunk down version of the Funkoville they set up in San Diego every summer. After the massive successes of their Tiki and Carnival setups in 2022 and 2023 respectively, fans couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in this offering.
Man I really wish they'd bring Rex back to Star Tours at Disneyland. Hell, the original ride was so much more fun than the video game-grade CG they use on the current version of the ride!
Sadly, the iconic fountain was down last year for reasons never really made clear. Fingers crossed I'll have pics of it up and running again next week!
Aw... I hope they found that puppy.
This fish thing was actually a robot that would periodically blink, flap its arms and sing to us! Scared the hell out of quite a few kids too!
Miyazaki would approve I'm sure!
Well, they made it through the Fire Swamps, why not celebrate their true love at WonderCon?
So COOL to CHILL with Mr. Freeze!
Rufio and Tink! We need some more Lost Boy cosplay from Hook. So many of them had unique designs!
I think this version of Captain Planet might take some VERY drastic measures at getting his message of environmentalism across!
Merlin and Madam Mim! The least controversial wizards in cinema history!
And finally, since Wrestlemania is on the horizon, may as well celebrate with some devoted WWF/E fans! I don't care how much time passes, it will always be the FEDERATION to me!
And that was WonderCon 2025! Definitely a wild one, but man was it fun! Great scores, great meals and a whole host of new friends! The only downer really was the fountain being down. Hell, even Disneyland crowds were tolerable last year. Probably helped that it was held the week BEFORE Easter, a trend that I hope continues for good. I had a hard time peeling myself away from it all, but had to. As they say, life, and the show, must go on.
Well, only one more week to go in the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown this year, but we're gonna make it count with our main event, WonderCon 2026! So be sure to come back and check it out! Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
